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.

Data quality checks for this project

  • Check tile layouts and tile sizes for completeness, conflicting versions and consistent references.
  • Add a separate validation rule for setout changes and small perimeter cuts.
  • Keep unresolved records separate from a tile area and cut allowance schedule; record the reason rather than silently filling a gap.

Questions to answer together

  • Which fields, references or measurements must be present?
  • How are duplicates, contradictions and missing values reported?
  • Which corrections require confirmation from the source owner?

What to have at the end

A validation checklist with examples of valid, rejected and unresolved records.

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.
