Systems & file handoffs · Australian flooring takeoffsCeramic floor tile takeoffs: systems & file handoffs
Plan how information enters and leaves the work. Start with tile layouts and tile sizes and plan a tile area and cut allowance schedule.
For Australian projects, delivered remotely. Quantities depend on the issued documents and agreed measurement scope.
The project in view
- Start with
- tile layouts and tile sizes.
- Proposed result
- a tile area and cut allowance schedule.
- A decision to resolve
- setout changes and small perimeter cuts.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Systems & file handoffs for this project
- Confirm the source format for tile layouts and tile sizes and the required delivery format for a tile area and cut allowance schedule.
- Carry a stable reference through each handoff so a reviewer can trace setout changes and small perimeter cuts.
- Begin with a reviewed file exchange if a live integration is unnecessary. Confirm system access before promising an integration.
Questions to answer together
- Which file formats or systems must exchange information?
- Who owns access, exports and destination records?
- How will a failed handoff or superseded file be identified?
What to have at the end
A handoff specification covering formats, permissions, ownership and failure handling.
Record the decision on setout changes and small perimeter cuts alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
