Put the work in order
- Walk the route from entry to work area and record dimensions, turns, steps, floor material and building rules.
- Identify fragile, historic, newly finished or shared surfaces before a proposal is final.
- Decide where wet tools, old fixtures, cut material and packaging can be staged without blocking egress.
- Assign daily cleanup, dust or water containment, damage reporting, disposal and final condition photos.
The hold point

Before moving to the next stage
- What protection material suits each surface and how will it be secured safely?
- Does equipment need an elevator reservation, street access, loading approval or additional labor?
- Who repairs accidental damage and who restores planned wall, ceiling, cabinet or floor openings?
- What condition review happens before setup and after removal?
