LS10 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Reworking an occupied unit in Hunslet or Stourton

Prepared by ATR Developments Limited. You can use this with your designer or builder.
These are preparation prompts, not a property survey or a permissions decision.

Project address: ______________________________
Proposed work: ________________________________
Intended use / occupation: ____________________

For a business unit in Hunslet or Stourton, start with the operation that must continue through the refurbishment. A new office, welfare area or internal partition can affect loading space, staff circulation and service shutdowns. The building brief should explain these dependencies before finishes are selected.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Preserve the working circulation
Mark delivery vehicles, storage, staff entrances and the proposed construction zone on the same drawing. Check whether a temporary route still works when materials or waste containers occupy part of the yard.
[ ] Gather: An operational layout with vehicle and pedestrian routes.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Plan shutdowns as separate tasks
Identify which electrical, water or ventilation connections need isolation and who can authorise it. Agree the available windows before assuming the work can be completed around normal trading.
[ ] Gather: A shutdown contact list and acceptable interruption times.
