What these guides are for

Most interior projects do not go wrong at the design stage. They go wrong in sequencing — a decision made two weeks late, after the electrical conduiting has been closed. These guides walk through the order in which things have to happen and which choices are genuinely irreversible once site work starts.

If you only read one category before beginning, read this one. It costs nothing and saves the most.

When to read these

Read before you sign anything, and again right after design sign-off.

What they cover

  • The real order of operations, from survey to handover
  • Which decisions must be frozen before civil and electrical work
  • Where clients most often cause their own delays
  • What to confirm with your building or society before mobilising

FAQ

Planning guides: common questions

How far ahead should I start planning?+

Four to six weeks before you want work to begin, for an apartment. Design, approvals and material selection all need time that cannot be compressed usefully.

What is the most expensive mistake in sequencing?+

Changing a layout after electrical and plumbing are set. The design change is cheap; redoing concealed work is not.

Can I live in the house during the work?+

For a single room, usually. For a full-home fit-out, it slows everything and is rarely worth it.
