Carpet roll allocation: pilot planning

Try a bounded sample before expanding the work. Start with room plans and specified carpet roll widths and plan a proposed cut list and roll allocation.

For Australian projects, delivered remotely. Quantities depend on the issued documents and agreed measurement scope.

Proposed result
a proposed cut list and roll allocation.
A decision to resolve
pile direction and usable roll width.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Pilot planning for this project

  • Choose a small part of room plans and specified carpet roll widths with an independently checkable result.
  • Produce a proposed cut list and roll allocation on that sample and record review corrections.
  • Include pile direction and usable roll width in the pilot; do not expand the scope until its treatment is agreed.

Questions to answer together

  • Which sample includes both routine work and an exception?
  • What time, correction and completeness measures will be recorded?
  • What finding would require changing the scope before continuing?

What to have at the end

A pilot plan with a representative sample, review date and continuation decision.

Record the decision on pile direction and usable roll width alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
