Walkthrough checklist
- Make a schedule of fixed and portable equipment and note where each will actually be used.
- Overlay service routes and outlets on the furniture drawings before approving joinery.
- Keep shutoffs and frequently serviced connections reachable and have the relevant specialist verify the provision.
Worked example
The family wants to move the television to a new wall, but power and network points remain behind the current console.
Mark screen, console, speakers, and device positions on the furniture plan, then coordinate a discreet service route. Have the relevant specialist verify locations before wall finishes are closed.
How to test it
Check locations against the final furniture and appliance drawings before walls or cabinets are closed.
