What surface are we coating?
Identify the substrate, current finish, visible condition, and the areas included. Share known previous treatments or requirements so they can be reviewed.
What must the finish do?
Describe appearance, color standards, cleaning routines, wear, or other requirements that matter at the location. Discuss an appropriate system against those specific conditions.
What preparation is included?
Identify cleaning, patching, sanding, removal of deteriorated finish, and selected repairs where required. Confirm what needs additional assessment before choosing a coating.
When can the area be worked on and used again?
Review work hours and access with the contractor and local team. Product requirements and actual site conditions must be considered in the work plan; a night-work schedule alone does not establish readiness for use.
What should the proposal and handoff record?
Record the agreed surfaces, preparation, finish requirements, exclusions, and completion process. Keep that information available to the person managing the property.
