Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing quotation review in a terrace house, with retain existing items as the priority. The current decision point is design review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A terrace interior plan should trace daylight, ventilation and services through the depth of the home. Any building alteration needs its own professional feasibility assessment.
Work to define: Quotation review
Compare quotations against a common scope. Quantities, exclusions, provisional items and responsibilities can explain differences that a headline total cannot.
The working deliverable is like-for-like scope and exclusion comparison. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Record changes in level, existing services and areas needing professional assessment.
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 like-for-like scope and exclusion comparison: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual terrace house layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the design review stage
Resolve the details that affect fabrication, services and finish interfaces. Compare the drawings with actual selected items and retain a clear record of approved revisions.
The expected stage output is: Coordinated drawings and a dated decision record for fabrication and installation. Resolve the retain existing items question within this record, so the priority is carried through the quotation review work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For quotation review: Which allowance or exclusion could change the final payable scope?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this terrace house: Record changes in level, existing services and areas needing professional assessment.
- Before completing the design review: Check that each selected item and retained interface appears on the current drawings.

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.
