Identify the products and work involved
Record the paint system, wall and ceiling condition, flooring type, underlay, adhesives, subfloor work, trims and any moisture assessment. Product labels and installation guides may specify preparation, cure and access constraints that affect scheduling.
Ask the project lead to coordinate trades
Have the builder or project manager and qualified painter/flooring installer state the work order, room access, protection, handover conditions, cure periods from the exact manuals and how damage or variations are managed. Do not substitute an online generic order for their project plan.
Protect finished surfaces using approved materials
Ask the trade responsible for each surface what protection is compatible and when it may be applied or removed. Do not cover a surface or use adhesive protection contrary to the maker’s instructions.
Confirm approvals and written responsibilities
Clarify who supplies materials, obtains approvals, removes waste, repairs damage and signs off each stage. For apartments or shared buildings, check owner/body-corporate and local requirements before work.
Schedule cleaning after the trades hand over
A post-construction clean is separate from painting, floor installation, repairs and certification. Confirm the site is released and specify which surfaces are ready for routine cleaning.
