What this work involves
Place furniture and work areas on the drawings and discuss glare, controls and maintenance before ceilings are closed.
- Fittings and light distribution
- Switching and dimming
- Installation space and access
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Discuss where technical equipment can go without disrupting the facade rhythm.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
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.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on number of fittings, cabling, controls and ceiling work. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for lighting design & installation. Identify the elements that should remain.
