Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing bathroom layout in a 4-room bto, with retain existing items as the priority. The current decision point is completion review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A 4-room BTO brief should allocate space to everyday use as well as occasional guests. The location of fixed services can influence how open the shared rooms can become.
Work to define: Bathroom layout
A bathroom layout needs usable movement, door clearance and maintenance access as well as attractive fittings. Establish existing drainage and service positions before assuming that every fitting can move.
The working deliverable is fitting layout and service-access plan. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Compare the proposed furniture layout with the actual service and door locations.
Design for retain existing items
Record the condition and dimensions of retained pieces. The design must resolve protection, installation access and finish junctions around them, rather than treating them as unchanging background.
Apply that priority to the fitting layout and service-access plan: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual 4-room bto layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the completion review stage
Check the agreed scope and operation systematically, recording issues and the next action for each. Distinguish incomplete work, adjustment requests and new work rather than combining them into an ambiguous snag list.
The expected stage output is: A dated issue register, operational checks and relevant handover information. Resolve the retain existing items question within this record, so the priority is carried through the bathroom layout work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For bathroom layout: Can the fittings be used and maintained without obstructing each other?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this 4-room bto: Compare the proposed furniture layout with the actual service and door locations.
- Before completing the completion review: Assign the remaining action, responsible person and agreed follow-up for each issue.

Property requirements and scope boundaries
Check current HDB requirements for the actual scope and verify the appointed contractor where required. This page does not establish permit eligibility.
Record existing condition, retained items, quantities, named products or specifications, exclusions and responsibility owners. Pricing and feasibility require the actual scope and site information. This scenario does not establish a market price or confirm that any work has been approved.
