Reversible privacy layout

A movable divider can suit shared living or study. Ask whether a reversible option meets the intended use and space restrictions.

Fixed wall with a door

An enclosed room changes how daylight, ventilation and escape work. Confirm the intended occupancy and written permissions with the people responsible for the building.

Check approval and eventual reinstatement

Set out the proposed room, doors and windows on a measured plan. Itemise electrical changes, fan or air-conditioning requirements and making good as separately priced work. Keep a record of the agreed handback condition.

Compare two uses for the same room

Sketch a study nook with a partial screen and an enclosed layout with a door. Mark external windows, ventilation and clear access to the unit exit. Check which use is allowed before asking for installation pricing.

Can I turn part of my unit into a bedroom for rent?
