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

For an Alwoodley or Moortown refurbishment involving several rooms, the challenge is often coordination: a new kitchen may change drainage, a widened opening may change structure and a new bathroom may need routes through rooms being retained. Build one coordinated scope before collecting separate quotations.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Agree the final room relationships
Show kitchen, utility, bathrooms and circulation on the same plan. Identify structural decisions and service routes that affect more than one trade before agreeing a phased programme.
[ ] Gather: A complete proposed layout, not separate sketches for individual rooms.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Check village and countryside addresses separately
For a property around Shadwell, Harewood or the wider LS17 area, confirm the local authority and site designations using the full address. The Leeds postcode prefix is not proof of a particular planning authority.
[ ] Gather: The full address, site boundary and any previous planning decisions.
Notes: ________________________________________
