Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing kitchen renovation in a executive maisonette, 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 maisonette requires coordination between levels. Stair access, protection, delivery and the relationship between activities upstairs and downstairs affect planning and installation.
Work to define: Kitchen renovation
Establish which cabinets, surfaces, appliances and services are actually changing. Making-good, temporary cooking arrangements and connection responsibilities should be part of the scope discussion.
The working deliverable is kitchen retention and replacement schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Map stair delivery clearance, protection and access between working levels.
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 kitchen retention and replacement schedule: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual executive maisonette 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 kitchen renovation work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For kitchen renovation: Who is responsible for each disconnection and reconnection?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this executive maisonette: Map stair delivery clearance, protection and access between working levels.
- 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.
