Pipework, insulation and structural junctions may become inaccessible after finishing. Plan checks before closing walls, floors or ceilings.
Decide this before construction
Select window divisions, shading fixings and connection points in the same design round. Visible equipment then need not be fitted around completed finishes afterwards.
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 the view at seated height and operate all opening elements. Review whether shading and lighting provide the intended shelter without obstructing everyday circulation.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep controls and glazing accessible with the final furniture arrangement. Store glazing and shading instructions together, including any restrictions on cleaning products.
Questions for your own property
- What will become hidden?
- Who checks it and when?
- Can photograph locations be identified?
