Before the project
A little planning helps the work start smoothly, keeps the site safer, and protects the finished result.

Preparation checklist
Your final scheduling notes and proposal take priority; this guide helps you know what to expect.
Approve tile, drain, fixtures, niches, benches, glass, curb or curbless entry and accessibility details. Identify steam exposure or special material restrictions before ordering.
Agree on framing, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile and glass work, including removal and fixture resetting. Confirm licensed-trade sequencing and approval of any hidden repairs.
Remove personal items and protect belongings outside the work zone. Confirm storage, cutting and access routes, parking, keys or codes, building rules, work hours and a day-of contact. Keep pets and children outside active areas.
Demolition, preparation, waterproofing, inspection, testing, setting and curing make the room unavailable. Maintain required site conditions and keep test and cure periods undisturbed.
Coordinate follow-on trades and avoid unplanned penetrations. Follow the written first-use instructions; a finished-looking shower is not necessarily ready for water.
