Daily-task worksheet
Turn user and caregiver tasks into approach, transfer, wet-area, fixture, support, control and lighting design questions.
Decision file
Record how each intended user enters, turns, transfers, bathes, toilets, reaches storage and receives assistance. Describe the task and the room condition rather than collecting diagnoses, and note whether needs are immediate, occasional or intended for future flexibility.
Measure the route from adjacent spaces, hallway pinch points, thresholds, door operation and manoeuvring needs as design inputs. Include where mobility equipment, a caregiver or a towel must be positioned, and check whether a door change affects walls, switches or common property.
Record transfer direction, seating, hand-held controls, reach, drainage and enclosure goals without promising zero-slip or medical outcomes. Test whether the proposed screen, curtain or door still allows assistance and maintenance while containing water at the actual shower entry.
Map toilet, sink, shower or tub, storage, accessories and proposed supports or blocking with qualified design review. Identify the wall construction behind each support point and document reinforcement before waterproofing and finishes hide it.
Record reach, contrast, glare, switches, outlets, mirrors, task lighting and emergency-use considerations. Coordinate wet-location electrical requirements, fan controls and heated surfaces with Surrey's electrical permit route instead of treating accessories as finish selections only.
Accessibility goals, code application and user suitability require project-specific professional review; this page does not certify compliance. For a condo or townhouse, add strata approval, common-property limits and any whole-floor drawing requirements to the review before construction begins. Preserve the accepted task brief and final dimensions so later maintenance or adaptation decisions start from documented conditions.
Document how intended users approach, turn, transfer, bathe, toilet, groom, reach controls and receive assistance. Avoid collecting medical details that are not needed for spatial decisions, and distinguish current routines from future planning goals.
Mark door, fixture, support, seating, knee or toe space, control and storage dimensions as proposed requirements for qualified design review. Identify conflicts with structure, plumbing, waterproofing or room boundaries before product ordering.
Define a walkthrough that checks reach, operation, transfer space, lighting, contrast, water containment and maintenance access against the accepted design. Record deficiencies without promising fall prevention, medical outcomes or suitability for every user.
List how intended users approach, enter, turn, transfer, bathe, toilet, groom, reach storage and controls and receive assistance, collecting no unnecessary health details. Connect each task to proposed space, fixture, support, lighting and wet-area requirements plus the professional review needed. Before handover, walk through the installed room with actual controls and record deficiencies, care and future adjustment needs. This plan centres use and dignity while avoiding claims that one dimension set, product label or final walkthrough guarantees compliance, prevents falls or suits every changing ability.
