What this work involves
List equipment, lighting and controls per room. Coordinate routes with structure and finishes. Use professionals appropriate to the installation.
- Existing system survey
- Capacity and points
- Safe accessible routes
- Kitchen, bathroom and heating coordination
- Testing, records and explanation
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Show dependencies between repairs, insulation and services in the plan.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
Decide this before construction
Address assessed causes of defects before new finishes conceal them. Plan comfort measures together with ventilation and necessary access to building services.
Compare the complete intervention
Request both direct costs and temporary provisions for each phase. Include additional removal and reinstatement when phasing otherwise appears cheaper than one coordinated intervention.
Cost factors for this service
Scope, access and replacement requirements determine the budget.

Questions about the work
When should connection points be final?
Preferably before walls and floors close. A room plan with furniture and equipment reduces later cutting and repair.
