Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing handover planning in a semi-detached house, with more storage as the priority. The current decision point is site preparation. 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: Handover planning
Define evidence of completion before the final walkthrough. Use an agreed issue list, operating checks and a record of supplied information rather than relying on a general impression of the finish.
The working deliverable is walkthrough, issue and document register. 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 walkthrough, issue and document register: 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 site preparation stage
Confirm access, protection, sequencing and responsibilities before work begins. Arrange any required checks or permissions for the actual property and do not assume a generic planning page grants approval.
The expected stage output is: An agreed access, protection and work-sequencing plan with responsibility owners. Resolve the more storage question within this record, so the priority is carried through the handover planning work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For handover planning: What evidence will demonstrate that each agreed item is complete?
- 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 site preparation: Identify the first dependent work item that cannot proceed until another check is complete.

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.
