List fixtures and assemblies separately

Start with the vanity, toilet, tub, shower enclosure and any fixed storage. Then list wall and floor assemblies separately. 'Remove the bathroom' can conceal a large difference between selected fixtures and a full opening to the supporting structure. Identify which side of each assembly is within the proposed removal.

Describe the retained side

For every removed item, name what meets it and stays. A retained hallway floor, adjacent wall finish or shared service can define the edge of the task. Ask how those edges will be left and who handles reconstruction. Tile, backing, membrane and subfloor should not be treated as interchangeable layers or as an assumed complete removal package.

Keep leak investigation separate

Visible staining or a reported leak belongs in the enquiry, but it is not a diagnosis. Keep investigation, repair and specialist assessment separate from the removal instruction. In a managed building, share the relevant building contacts and requirements. Responsible trades must address affected supplies, drains and other services; the worksheet does not authorise their disconnection.

Prepare the bathroom boundary matrix

Record the fixture or assembly, the removal limit, the retained side and the next-party question. A partial bathroom plan should make exclusions as clear as removals. Use the bathroom demolition page for the enquiry and the condo packet guide where management needs a coordinated request.

Keep your completed record private. Bring the relevant scope questions into the optional project planner or discuss them directly with Clearpath.
