- Structural condition
- Waterproofing and floor finish
- Balustrades and drainage
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Keep outdoor access usable for residents and successive deliveries.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase plan showing work zones, usable rooms and bathroom access. Identify temporarily unavailable facilities and their replacements.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep agreements and changes by phase, using consistent room names. Later questions about concealed work and outstanding items remain traceable.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on damage extent, access, structure and finishes. 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 balcony & access-deck refurbishment. Identify the elements that should remain.
