Bring it to the survey

Put the room on a survey sheet.

Record what you know and say plainly what you do not. A photo or sketch can support the conversation; this draft collects the main points without pretending an inspection has happened.

Your project discussion focus

Discussion focus: existing surface

Only the sample option choices carry between pages. Your personal form notes remain on this page.

Return to the design study

Before you fill the sheet.

Existing surface

Describe the visible finish and any records you already have. Leave uncertain construction details as questions.

Proposed finish

Include tile ideas, intended areas and the adjacent surfaces staying in place.

Difficult places

Flag thresholds, recesses, drains and fixtures. Explain the result you want rather than choosing a construction solution.
