The route to the workplace determines how materials, equipment and waste move. Plan it before construction is scheduled.
Decide this before construction
Dismantle retained elements only with an agreed recording and storage plan. Take final bespoke measurements after assessing the adjoining substrate.
Inspect the entire route
Review widths, heights, turns and vulnerable floors from the street to the work area. Agree use and protection of shared access.
What the drawing needs to explain
Prepare a detail sheet for the door, frame, skirting and wall together. Identify retained elements, refinished surfaces and locations requiring bespoke work.
A situation to test your plan against
An interior can improve substantially while retaining doors, stairs or panelling. Inventory these elements before selecting new finishes. Their dimensions and condition determine which junctions can be made carefully.
Questions for your own property
- What is the narrowest opening?
- Where can materials be stored safely?
- Is external space use agreed?
