Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing space planning in a studio 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 studio combines activities in a single main space. Storage, sleeping, work and visitor use need to be tested together instead of planned as isolated rooms.
Work to define: Space planning
Compare layouts using the same furniture, activities and retained elements. A proposal should show practical differences in movement, usable area and flexibility, rather than just an alternative arrangement of walls.
The working deliverable is comparable layout options with assumptions. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Test the daytime and nighttime arrangement using the same furniture plan.
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 comparable layout options with assumptions: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual studio 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 space planning work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For space planning: What measurable household problem does each layout solve?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this studio condominium: Test the daytime and nighttime arrangement using the same furniture plan.
- 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.
