Pipework, insulation and structural junctions may become inaccessible after finishing. Plan checks before closing walls, floors or ceilings.
Decide this before construction
Choose layout and storage needs before fixing window divisions. Then coordinate lighting and connection points with the remaining usable walls.
Identify concealed items
Focus on parts important for performance, maintenance and the agreed result. The aim is useful checks rather than a large unstructured photo collection.
How to review the result
Check use with furniture, screening and doors in everyday positions. Assess daylight and the ability to screen the room in the evening.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep window cleaning and controls accessible beside bespoke furniture. Retain drawings of removable parts so maintenance does not require unnecessary dismantling.
Questions for your own property
- What will become hidden?
- Who checks it and when?
- Can photograph locations be identified?
