Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Assess floor, cupboard, wall and ceiling through their shared junctions.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one bespoke junction at a large scale with every adjoining finish layer. Identify who takes final dimensions and which substrate must be ready for that measurement.
How to review the result
Use the approved sample as a reference and assess junctions under the agreed lighting. Check operation and maintenance access as well as the visible finish.
Cost factors for this service
Preparation can take more work than applying paint. Compare layers, materials and included repairs.
Bring this to the discussion
Substrate photographs, colour preferences and a list of elements.
Questions about the work
