KEEPCreate the existing-room record
Measure walls, openings, fixtures, ceiling and visible services. Add photos, known moisture history and building constraints. 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 “List demolition and disposal boundaries.” Record uncertain concealed conditions. 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.
- Record uncertain concealed conditions.
REMOVEList demolition and disposal boundaries
The comparison should address existing dimensions, keep-replace-move decisions, demolition limits, trade interfaces, finish selections and closeout; otherwise two prices may describe materially different work. A small bathroom still couples demolition, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, wet-area assemblies, millwork and finishes in one sequence. Separate keep, replace and move decisions; then record uncertain concealed conditions. 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.
- Separate keep, replace and move decisions
- Record uncertain concealed conditions
COORDINATECoordinate trades and assemblies
Map plumbing, electrical, ventilation, substrate and wet-area changes together so one proposal does not omit an interface. Describe each fixture, assembly and building constraint separately, citing its supporting room photograph, measurement or dated document. Set review points before concealment. 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.
- Set review points before concealment.
DETAILIdentify structural or clearance questions
“Identify structural or clearance questions” 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. Require compatible system documents. Set review points before concealment. 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.
- Require compatible system documents
- Set review points before concealment
SELECTDefine finishes, protection and closeout
List fixtures, finishes, owner items, access routes, dust and floor protection, testing, photos and final documents. Before proceeding, retain product and maintenance records. 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 product and maintenance records.
VERIFYState allowance and substitution rules
Resolve “State allowance and substitution rules” before ranking proposals. State the baseline fixture, wet zone and building interface, proposed renovation and wet-area response, exclusions, quantities and written change process. Plan occupied-home daily closeout. Retain product and maintenance records. 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.
- Plan occupied-home daily closeout
- Retain product and maintenance records
FILEComplete the room scope record
Finish this room scope as a room schedule: include its starting evidence, location map, proposed renovation and wet-area response and unresolved limits. For “Specify the Existing Room and Every Proposed Change,” 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 “Map Plumbing, Electrical and Building Impacts”, “Normalize Scope, Allowances and Building Logistics”, and “Prepare Strata, Access and Building-System Questions” 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.
- Name the next layout, assembly or building-logistics decision, responsible renovation-scope reviewer and room schedule evidence still required
- Retain dated official bathroom renovation sources and guide links within the bathroom closeout file
