The project in view

Start with
room perimeters and skirting details.
Proposed result
a linear metre schedule by profile.
A decision to resolve
door deductions and concealed edges.

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

Scope & boundaries for this project

  • Confirm drawing revisions, finishes, measurement boundaries and exclusions before measuring. Raise unresolved items as RFIs.
  • Use “a linear metre schedule by profile” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
  • Resolve this boundary early: door deductions and concealed edges.

Questions to answer together

  • Who uses the result, and what decision does it support?
  • Which part of the current process is included?
  • Which exceptions and adjacent tasks are excluded?

What to have at the end

A bounded scope with an owner, an intended result and explicit exclusions.

Record the decision on door deductions and concealed edges alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
