Floor build-up before screed
Insulation, edge strips and heating loops disappear with the screed. Document damage or gaps now — later it is no longer possible.
Interior finishes: the 80/20 walk for the critical spots
Whether several trades are working at once or you find it hard to place the exact stage: do not get lost in technical detail. On your walk, focus on the interior spots that become most expensive once they are covered.
The red list: what to check immediately
Open walls and services
Drywall open on one side or unplastered connections are the last chance to secure services and insulation in the wall.
Wet room before tiling
Waterproofing, corners and drains must be fully documented before tiling — otherwise there will only be disputes over invisible layers.
Damage by the next trade
Fresh screed, open waterproofing or finished boards damaged by the next trade belong in the record immediately.
What to document today
Prioritise floors, open walls and bathrooms
Check areas first that will be closed, covered or tiled next.
Photograph interfaces between trades
Always photograph transitions like floor/wall or bathroom/hall in overview and detail.
Proceed and document room by room
Check per room: what will be covered here next? Photograph these spots first.
Report anomalies in writing today
Email photos with date and room to site management — before the next work step. Afterwards the state can no longer be proven.
Secure the next cover-up step
Upload your photos — you immediately see which detail checklist fits your stage.
