Fix service positions

Kitchen plans, bathroom layouts, radiators, lighting and data points influence first-fix work. Confirm them before walls and floors are closed.

Resolve material junctions

Floor thicknesses, thresholds, skirting, worktop upstands and tile edges need coordinated details. Small mismatches are conspicuous at handover.

Choose who signs off

Record who books inspections, submits notifications, commissions equipment and collects certificates. Missing paperwork is harder to reconstruct later.
