A fixture move is more than a drawing change. Map drain and vent paths, supply, structure, electrical zones, clearances and building approvals before pricing the layout.
KEEP
Draw the measured plan
Record room dimensions, doors, windows, fixtures, bulkheads and visible services. Overlay the proposed arrangement separately. Begin the room schedule with a date and its fixture, wet zone and building interface; attach the available evidence before making the layout, assembly or building-logistics decision. The next checkpoint is “Label keep, replace and move choices.” Do not infer concealed routes. Keep that action beside its observation. The renovation-scope reviewer can then distinguish the intake room schedule from bathroom closeout file material added during later pricing or investigation.
Do not infer concealed routes.
REMOVE
Label keep, replace and move choices
The comparison should address measured clearances, fixture locations, plumbing and electrical changes, openings, approvals and option costs; otherwise two prices may describe materially different work. Moving a fixture can affect concealed services, clearances, openings and waterproofing transitions beyond the visible floor plan. Mark access and clearance questions; then do not infer concealed routes. Label each room photograph, drawing and prior record by fixture, wet zone and building interface and date. When a concealed service or wet-area question remains, record it in the room schedule; identify the renovation-scope reviewer review or bathroom closeout file document that could resolve it. A finding behind one finish cannot be projected across every wall, floor or shared building service.

Do not infer concealed routes
COORDINATE
Trace trade and building impacts
For each move, list drainage, venting, supply, structure, electrical and ventilation questions. Describe each fixture, assembly and building constraint separately, citing its supporting room photograph, measurement or dated document. Keep strata-system impacts visible. A finding at one fixture, wet zone and building interface may alter the proposed layout, assembly or building-logistics decision; unobserved parts of the bathroom renovation stay outside the available evidence.
Keep strata-system impacts visible.
DETAIL
Coordinate wall and floor openings
“Coordinate wall and floor openings” belongs on its own line in the room schedule. For the fixture, wet zone and building interface, pair the room photograph evidence with any concealed or untested bathroom renovation limits. Route structural questions appropriately. Keep strata-system impacts visible. Cross-reference the renovation and wet-area response answer to its room photograph; include the room schedule drawing, a product document for the renovation and wet-area response, or a dated reply from the renovation-scope reviewer. Resolve rough-in, strata and wet-area reviews before walls or tile conceal the work and before fixtures are released for purchase.

SELECT
Create the decision comparison
Compare layout benefit against access, approvals, restoration, uncertainty and cost drivers without promising feasibility. Before proceeding, retain the approved plan and changes. Give task ownership to the renovation-scope reviewer; place its checkpoint before the layout, assembly or building-logistics decision, then name the expected bathroom closeout file. This separates current room schedule evidence from the proposed renovation and wet-area response. Put manufacturer information and renovation-scope reviewer input in the bathroom closeout file; file authority questions under the relevant bathroom renovation decision.
Retain the approved plan and changes.
VERIFY
Separate necessary work from options
Resolve “Separate necessary work from options” before ranking proposals. State the baseline fixture, wet zone and building interface, proposed renovation and wet-area response, exclusions, quantities and written change process. Record assumptions in each proposal. Retain the approved plan and changes. Review each room photograph while it can still change the layout, assembly or building-logistics decision. Record a dated layout, assembly or building-logistics decision choice or assign the remaining concealed service or wet-area question. Track that uncertainty in the bathroom closeout file, outside the lump-sum total.

FILE
Complete the keep-or-move matrix record
Finish this keep-or-move matrix as a room schedule: include its starting evidence, location map, proposed renovation and wet-area response and unresolved limits. For “Map Plumbing, Electrical and Building Impacts,” justify each renovation and wet-area response inclusion and assign the next concealed service or wet-area question. In the room schedule, list the approvals, product records and bathroom closeout file expected. Continue with “Verify Plumbing, Electrical and Building Requirements”, “Specify the Existing Room and Every Proposed Change”, and “Ask How Wet-Area Details Will Be Documented” for related bathroom renovation decisions. Use the room schedule guide links for any wider renovation and wet-area response comparison. Keep each dated Burnaby, provincial or BC Housing reference with the trade, strata or wet-area question it informs.
