Investigate existing conditions before design commitments

Document room geometry, structure, finishes, existing utilities, drainage options, adjacent spaces, access, and any known moisture history. Project-specific professionals should evaluate feasibility and applicable requirements.

Avoid hidden retrofit assumptions

Ask bidders to identify survey work, demolition, unknown-condition allowances, enclosure transitions, cooling routes, condensate, electrical coordination, protection, patching, startup, and service responsibility.
