Map the facilities and priorities
List showers, toilets, basins and laundry points, alongside any recurring faults. Identify which fittings are being reused and what needs replacing.
Separate recurring maintenance issues from the improvements you want. A leaking fitting, a tired layout and a lack of usable facilities are different problems. A clear list helps distinguish repairs, replacements and work that needs a wider design or specialist review.
Record the facilities affected, approximate quantities and any available drawings. Identify access needs and the standards your project must meet. Those requirements should be reviewed in the specification before products or a work programme are agreed.
Plan around opening dates
Tell us when the facilities can close and whether part of the block must remain available. Water shutdowns, material storage and guest access all need to be considered.
Think through how guests, cleaners, deliveries and trades will move around the site while work is underway. Agree who controls access, where materials can be stored and how affected areas will be separated. A realistic programme depends on both the work and the operating site.
If part of a block needs to stay open, discuss the practicalities before assuming the work can be phased. Water shutdowns, noise and other trades may affect more than the immediate work area. Include commissioning and handover before the facilities are expected to reopen.
Separate the work responsibilities
A useful specification distinguishes plumbing, finishes, structural work, electrics and specialist plant. Confirm fuel and appliance types separately; LPG and commercial gas work are not assumed to be included.
Ask for the quoted plumbing work, the fittings and the known exclusions to be identified clearly. The price should distinguish agreed work from optional additions or defects that cannot be assessed until access is available. Confirm who may approve a variation.
Treat the fuel and appliance list as a separate check. Water plumbing in a washroom does not imply LPG or commercial gas capability. Our core confirmed gas offering is domestic natural gas, so specialist plant or fuel requirements need to be discussed before any commitment.
Your quick checklist
- Facilities, quantities and recurring problems listed
- Opening dates and permissible closure periods
- Access, storage and water shutdown arrangements
- Plumbing scope separated from other trades
- Authorised decision-maker and handover requirements
Start with a practical project brief
Send the park address, a description of the facilities, the proposed changes and your operating dates. Include photographs or drawings where available. Corva can then review suitability and discuss the survey, work scope and resources before agreeing a programme.
