Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing countertop selection in a 2-bedroom condominium, 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 second bedroom may need to serve work, guests or daily family use. Define the primary use and the frequency of secondary uses before committing to fixed furniture.
Work to define: Countertop selection
Compare surfaces against actual cooking, cleaning and installation requirements. Cut-outs, joint positions, edge details and the support beneath the surface need coordination before a material is selected.
The working deliverable is surface, cut-out and support specification. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Compare the main and occasional room arrangements with door clearance shown.
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 surface, cut-out and support specification: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual 2-bedroom condominium 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 countertop selection work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For countertop selection: Where will the joints, cut-outs and exposed edges be?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this 2-bedroom condominium: Compare the main and occasional room arrangements with door clearance shown.
- Before completing the completion review: Assign the remaining action, responsible person and agreed follow-up for each issue.

Property requirements and scope boundaries
Obtain the actual management renovation procedures, access arrangements and responsibilities for common-property interfaces. Do not assume another development has the same rules.
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.
