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.

Pilot planning for this project

  • Choose a small part of tile layouts and tile sizes with an independently checkable result.
  • Produce a tile area and cut allowance schedule on that sample and record review corrections.
  • Include setout changes and small perimeter cuts 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 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.
