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
Imagine adding two monitors, a dock, task lamp and printer to a desk planned before the electrical layout. The cables would cross the user's leg space.
List equipment and mark connection points on the final desk drawing before fixing outlets. Keep chargers accessible and cables routed along a stable edge, with an electrician checking the provision and load.
How to test it
Check locations against the final furniture and appliance drawings before walls or cabinets are closed.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the room off the consultation zone with storage for active project materials nearby.
- Detail
- Use a large shared table, writable surface, and controllable light that supports both screen and paper review.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated room improves focus but removes flexible sales-floor space.
- Spread a typical plan and samples on the table
- Check screen glare and door privacy
