Verify Plumbing, Electrical and Building Requirements
Translate the actual renovation scope into authority questions. Fixture moves, wiring changes or structural work may follow different routes and need separate records.
KEEP
Describe the project facts
List demolition, fixture moves, new connections, electrical changes, ventilation and structural questions before consulting an authority. 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 “Use the Burnaby property address.” Record the source and date for each answer. 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 the source and date for each answer.
REMOVE
Use the Burnaby property address
The comparison should address property-specific plumbing, electrical and building questions, inspection ownership and dated approval records; otherwise two prices may describe materially different work. Trade-permit responsibility must be assigned by task because plumbing, electrical and building questions do not automatically share one route. Keep existing and proposed plans distinct; then record the source and date for each answer. 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.

COORDINATE
Route trade and building questions
Use City plumbing and building information, and the appropriate electrical authority route, based on the actual change. Describe each fixture, assembly and building constraint separately, citing its supporting room photograph, measurement or dated document. Coordinate strata requirements separately. 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.
Coordinate strata requirements separately.
DETAIL
Do not assume one permit covers every trade
“Do not assume one permit covers every trade” 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. Confirm inspection responsibilities. Coordinate strata requirements separately. 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
Maintain the approval and inspection file
Track applications, references, inspections, corrections and closeout documents alongside the renovation scope. Before proceeding, retain final documentation. 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 final documentation.
VERIFY
Record proposal responsibility for each task
Resolve “Record proposal responsibility for each task” before ranking proposals. State the baseline fixture, wet zone and building interface, proposed renovation and wet-area response, exclusions, quantities and written change process. Keep changes aligned with approvals. Retain final documentation. 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 approval register record
Finish this approval register as a room schedule: include its starting evidence, location map, proposed renovation and wet-area response and unresolved limits. For “Verify Plumbing, Electrical and Building Requirements,” 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”, “Prepare Strata, Access and Building-System Questions”, 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.
