What this work involves
Distinguish a colour change from maintenance. Timber, sealants, existing layers and moisture affect preparation. View colours in the actual light of the room.
- Inspection and repairs
- Appropriate coating system
- Colour, sheen and samples
- Access and protection
- Maintenance and completion checks
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Check material transitions between rooms before ordering individual finishes.
What the drawing needs to explain
Use the same room and detail numbers on drawings and in the room book. Identify the approved revision for each item and which supplier still needs to provide information.
How to review the result
Use the room book as a handover checklist. Review transitions first and individual products afterwards; a fully supplied room can still have a missing junction.
Cost factors for this service
Preparation can take more work than applying paint. Compare layers, materials and included repairs.
Bring this to the discussion
Substrate photographs, colour preferences and a list of elements.
Questions about the work
