Prepare an Adelaide tiling and waterproofing scope

1. Photograph the existing roomPhotos preserve visible symptoms, junctions and access details for the first discussion.2. Measure the tiled surfacesApproximate wall and floor dimensions help test tile quantities and layout assumptions.3. Record moisture symptomsNote where and when moisture appears instead of assuming grout or membrane failure.4. Identify the substrate if knownConcrete, sheet systems and existing tile surfaces need different preparation questions.5. Mark wastes and thresholdsDrainage points and finished floor transitions shape falls and build-up.6. List fixtures and penetrationsTaps, screens, niches and pipes create important waterproofing and cutting details.7. Choose a tile formatSize and pattern affect set-out, falls, waste and the visibility of substrate variation.8. Check product suitabilityIndoor, wet-area and exterior surfaces can require different product characteristics.9. Define demolition responsibilityClarify removal, disposal, protection and what happens when concealed damage appears.10. Separate adjoining tradesPlumbing, electrical, carpentry and regulated building work need clear ownership.11. Ask for preparation in writingLevelling, priming, repairs and membrane work should not remain vague allowances.12. Compare inclusions and exclusionsA lower total may simply omit trims, sealant, disposal or completion records.13. Confirm applicable licence detailsVerify the operator and the licence relevant to their South Australian scope.14. Keep product and stage recordsDocumentation and concealed-stage photographs can help with future maintenance.15. Agree how variations are handledUnexpected substrate or moisture conditions need a clear approval path before extra work proceeds.

Checklist method and assumptions

This checklist organises the visible condition, measurements, wet-area interfaces, product choices and written scope before an enquiry. It does not calculate price, diagnose concealed damage or replace an on-site inspection. The items come from the project-planning questions documented in the Adelaide research brief and are not market benchmarks. For consumer guidance on licensed building work and written contracts, see Consumer and Business Services South Australia.
