Independent floor plan review passed
Light, ventilation, wasted circulation, furniture fit, plumbing alignment and stair safety - checked before the plan is final, while a fix is a pencil stroke instead of a wall.
What to look at
- Every habitable room measured against the minimum, not eyeballed
- Toilets stacked floor to floor
- Stair geometry checked against tread, riser, width and headroom together
How to check it yourself
