Three useful
starting points.
Use available plans to prepare questions and identify information to confirm.
Levels + interfaces
Locate level notes and the adjacent floors, landings and structural interfaces to discuss.
Information to confirm
Check drawing revisions, site conditions and the intended stair use before defining scope.
Useful information to bring together
A drawing checklist.
For a clearer review.
A layout image helps start the conversation. A project review needs the current details and a clear record of what is still unconfirmed.
- Drawing status: issue date, revision, author and whether the drawing is preliminary or approved for its stated purpose.
- Location, levels + dimensions: stair position, floor-to-floor levels, available space, landings and the dimensions to verify on site.
- Connections + anchorage: supporting structure, proposed fixings and responsibility for checking the interfaces.
- Handrails + guarding: arrangement, adjacent edges and the relationship to floors and landings.
- Design criteria: intended use, applicable requirements, nominated loads and any exit or accessibility role identified by the project team.
Record gaps as “not confirmed” rather than guessing. This checklist and the supplied reference image do not replace project design or approval.
