Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Schedule final finishes once the work zone is clear of disruptive work.
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.
How to review the result
Do not close a phase only on paper. Check whether the space is usable again and which outstanding items affect the next phase or everyday family life.
Cost factors for this service
Preparation can take more work than applying paint. Compare layers, materials and included repairs.
Bring this to the discussion
Substrate photographs, colour preferences and a list of elements.
Questions about the work
