What the drawing needs to explain
Draw two uses within the same floor plan. Mark walls, doors and connections that stay unchanged and identify the alteration actually needed later.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep drawings of unused provisions too. Distinguish items merely prepared from those already connected and assessed.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on dimensions, materials, foundations and connections. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
