Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.

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.

Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on joint length, removal work, access and materials. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
