Why preparation matters more in period properties
The practical test for why preparation matters more in period properties is whether it reduces uncertainty before work begins. Good preparation creates a written scope, identifies the approvals or evidence to verify, and makes clear who is responsible for each step before walls, floors or shared services are opened up.
