A vacant apartment, an occupied home and a flat in a managed block call for different preparations. Bring these details into the brief before comparing quotations.
A vacant flat or defined refresh
List the repairs and finishes for each room, the fittings to retain and the condition of walls, floors and ceilings. Confirm who holds the keys, when deliveries can arrive and what the building requires for waste removal, lifts or protection of shared areas.
An occupied apartment
Identify entrances, rooms and essential facilities that must remain usable. Discuss work zones, dust protection and the order of kitchen or bathroom work. Any period without water, power or a working bathroom needs to be considered before the programme is agreed.
Shared-building requirements
Provide relevant lease, freeholder or managing-agent requirements and tell us who is responsible for obtaining consents or design information. Matters such as noisy-work hours, fire and acoustic details, service routes and common-area protection can affect the proposed construction package.
Vayton quotes the construction scope agreed for the particular property. Consent decisions and specialist design remain with the relevant parties unless expressly included in the appointment.
