Floor preparation allowances: pilot planning

Try a bounded sample before expanding the work. Start with plans and documented substrate notes and plan a separately stated preparation allowance.

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

Proposed result

A decision to resolve
unverified substrate condition.

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

Pilot planning for this project

  • Choose a small part of plans and documented substrate notes with an independently checkable result.
  • Produce a separately stated preparation allowance on that sample and record review corrections.
  • Include unverified substrate condition 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 unverified substrate condition alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
