Define the operational brief.
Explain what the space is used for, which areas are affected, whether the premises will remain in use and what must be protected or kept accessible.
Coordinate the moving parts.
Commercial work may involve building, interior fit-out, preparation, flooring and other activities. A shared view of dependencies identifies when access is needed and which decisions come first.
Choose finishes for the actual use.
Flooring and surface decisions should be considered against traffic, maintenance, substrate condition, transitions and practical demands.
Plan the handover.
Clarify access, protection, storage and re-entry requirements before work begins, then confirm care information and remaining dependencies at handover.
