Pipework, insulation and structural junctions may become inaccessible after finishing. Plan checks before closing walls, floors or ceilings.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
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
Review the result close up and from the garden. Check junctions and continuous lines; a neat individual joint says little about the coherence of the entire elevation.
Allow for later maintenance
Record which elements are new, repaired or retained. This distinction helps identify the appropriate finish and maintenance method for each material later.
Questions for your own property
- What will become hidden?
- Who checks it and when?
- Can photograph locations be identified?
