Survey the existing room early

For a renovation or constrained room, provide field dimensions, structure, openings, adjacent conditions, utility routes, and moisture history. Qualified project professionals should determine the actual enclosure and mechanical approach.

Clarify the construction handoffs

Ask who verifies existing conditions and who owns demolition, framing, control layers, glazing, cooling, drainage, electrical work, finishes, commissioning, and future service.
