Begin with a measured survey and a condition log. Photograph each room and every interface where new furniture meets services or retained structure. Use that evidence to define what can be priced and which discoveries will need a new decision.
Create a usable baseline without original drawings
Record dimensions, diagonal checks, visible obstructions and openings used for delivery. Confirm the condition of adjacent finishes before dismantling. Ask a specialist to assess suspected damage and keep the condition notes attached to the photo and drawing revision.
Make entries for retained, tested and replaced items. Assign an owner to each uncertain decision so the contractor knows when to stop and request review.
Make the phases depend on real technical work
Put investigations, repairs and service checks before final finish approvals. Have the competent party assess any effect on weight, stability, systems and permitted use. The IMO stability overview provides general context for that assessment.
Prepare drawings that show dimensions, interfaces and material references. Add a trial fit and measure actual access again before manufacturing large units.
Price the changes explicitly
Ask for separate allowances for discovery, removal, repairs, manufacture and refitting. Compare the same measured scope in every bid and specify who approves each change and its cost and schedule effect.
At handover close each work area against the condition log, inspect accessible panels and record any work purposefully reserved for another phase.
