Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing living-room layout in a 2-room bto, with phased work as the priority. The current decision point is completion review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A compact new flat needs clear routes around essential furniture. Identify the household essentials before assigning every wall to built-in storage.
Work to define: Living-room layout
Place the actual seating and activities before specifying fixed features. Test movement between doors, windows and adjoining rooms with the everyday furniture arrangement, not an empty presentation plan.
The working deliverable is living-room furniture and movement plan. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Test the bed, table and open cabinet doors on the actual floor plan.
Design for phased work
A phased plan needs workable access, protection and temporary household arrangements between packages. Confirm dependencies before assuming that trades can return independently.
Apply that priority to the living-room furniture and movement plan: List the minimum usable facilities and access needed between phases. Discuss the result against the actual 2-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 phased work question within this record, so the priority is carried through the living-room layout work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For living-room layout: Which route crosses the main seating or activity area?
- For phased work: Which later package depends on an earlier concealed or connection detail?
- For this 2-room bto: Test the bed, table and open cabinet doors on the actual floor plan.
- 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.
