What this work involves
Let working height, loading, ground conditions, access and protection of occupants determine the appropriate provision.
- Working height and arrangement
- Access and protection
- Assembly, inspection and duration
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Create an element register with dimensions, condition and intended treatment.
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.
Decide this before construction
Dismantle retained elements only with an agreed recording and storage plan. Take final bespoke measurements after assessing the adjoining substrate.
Compare the complete intervention
Separate retention, repair and new bespoke work in the quotation. This shows the preparation and protection effort alongside the visible end result.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on size, duration, ground conditions and assembly access. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for scaffolding & site access. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging scaffolding & site access?
Scaffold hire, assembly and inspection are separate elements. Define responsibilities and the work the arrangement is intended to support.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
