Organising a full flat refurbishment
Example project
Demonstration only — not a completed IM-Development project.
A sample scenario of how a refurbishment can be organised from the brief to handover.
- Property type
- Three-room flat in an older building
- Location
- Not specified (hypothetical)
Objective
To have comparable quotations, a realistic schedule and a clear sign-off at each stage.
Starting point
Assume the owners hold three quotations with different scopes that cannot be compared, and do not know in what order the services and finishes should be done.
Illustrative sequence of work
- 01A room-by-room brief and a bill of quantities.
- 02The same request sent to several contractors and a line-by-line comparison of quotations.
- 03A schedule in sequence: strip-out, services, wet trades, finishes.
- 04Stage-by-stage sign-off with photographs and a snag list.
Expected outcome (illustrative)
The expected deliverable is a comparable basis for choosing a contractor and a controlled programme of works. The scenario is illustrative.
