Identify who assesses the temporary works
Record who assesses the temporary condition and the assumptions involved. The contractor needs the applicable drawings and instructions. A photograph of props in another building is not a design for your property.
Discuss the effect on occupants
Ask which rooms or routes will be unavailable and whether the home can be occupied during the work. Consider residents, children and pets. Agree who controls access to the work area; do not move installed supports yourself.
Agree inspection points
Establish who compares the existing building with the design and who decides when the next stage can begin. Unexpected construction needs assessment. Allow for this coordination in the programme.
Clarify the change to permanent support
Ask who confirms that permanent provisions have been completed according to the design. Removing temporary supports is part of the professional execution and checking process. Record relevant changes and checks in the handover information.
Frequently asked questions
Can I install props in advance myself?
Leave the design and installation to the professionals involved. Unsupported assumptions can transfer loads to unsuitable parts of the building.
Can I continue using the room normally?
That depends on the work area and execution plan. Discuss this beforehand and respect the agreed barriers and access routes.
