Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing built-in storage in a semi-detached house, with more storage as the priority. The current decision point is completion review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A semi-detached home can have different light and exposure conditions across its rooms. Plan interior finishes and storage against the actual condition, rather than assuming one detail works everywhere.
Work to define: Built-in storage
Allocate storage to objects and frequency of use. Extra cabinetry is only useful when items fit and doors or drawers can be opened without disrupting the room.
The working deliverable is object-based storage and access schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Record window exposure, damp indications and maintenance access by room.
Design for more storage
Compare usable capacity against the objects that need a home. Avoid gaining nominal cabinet volume at the expense of opening clearance or the working area.
Apply that priority to the object-based storage and access schedule: Count the items accommodated and record anything still without an assigned space. Discuss the result against the actual semi-detached house 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 more storage question within this record, so the priority is carried through the built-in storage work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For built-in storage: Which stored items are difficult to reach in the proposed layout?
- For more storage: Which items remain outside the proposed storage schedule?
- For this semi-detached house: Record window exposure, damp indications and maintenance access by room.
- Before completing the completion review: Assign the remaining action, responsible person and agreed follow-up for each issue.

Property requirements and scope boundaries
Have the actual proposed alterations and existing building condition assessed by the appropriate professionals. An interior planning checklist is not structural or building approval.
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.
