What this work involves

- Layout and operations
- Access and safe routes
- Suitable building services
- Phasing and working hours
- Finishing and handover
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Organise work around the functions the family needs every day.
Decide this before construction
Link each order date to the phase needing the component. Before a disruptive transition, check that materials, decisions and temporary facilities are actually available.
Which trade-off matters?
A short intensive programme and longer phased work have different effects. Compare temporary facilities, access and quiet periods as well as total duration.
Compare the complete intervention
Include temporary kitchen facilities, protection and any extra moves. A programme with more phases may require more setup and clearing work than continuous construction.
Cost factors for this service
Consider the effect on operations alongside the building cost. Temporary facilities, phasing and access can influence execution.
Bring this to the discussion
Plans, building use, opening hours, landlord agreements and continuity requirements.
