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
Bedside charging outlets are hidden behind a tall headboard and inaccessible from the mattress.
Set outlet height and position against the selected bed and headboard drawings, leaving cords clear of walking routes.
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
- Locate near an accessible bathroom and a quiet entry route, away from the main bedroom zone.
- Detail
- Provide bedside charging, luggage landing and blackout window coverage.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated guest room sits unused at times and may be less flexible than a study.
- Trace guest route from entrance
- Check luggage and wardrobe space
