Full Villa Layout Functional Audit Before Plaster Stage (Walls Still Modifiable)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
1. Architectural & Space Planning Logic
Assess room size ratios vs function (e.g., bedroom vs closet zone)
Identify inefficient areas (dead corners, circulation bottlenecks)
Recommend internal wall adjustments where needed
Check door sizing & positioning:
Bedrooms: 900–1000 mm
Toilets: 750–800 mm
Majlis & entries: 1000–1200 mm
Door swing conflict review (adjacency to furniture, fittings, switches)
Window height and width review for curtain logic, daylight access, cross ventilation
2. Furniture & Electrical Socket Coordination
Map out ideal furniture layout zones (beds, wardrobes, vanities, TV units)
Audit socket and switch placement against furniture plans
Highlight missing, redundant, or illogically placed outlets
Verify 2-way switch logic for circulation paths
Confirm distribution board (DB) placement and access clearance
Flag smart system or future expansion potential (scene control)
3. Ceiling Leveling & Lighting Planning
Recommend ceiling drop heights and bulkhead logic per space
Define central points for chandeliers, fans, or pendant fixtures
Identify spotlight, smoke detector, AC diffuser clashes
Propose insulation zones (e.g., Rockwool for bedroom-toilet soundproofing)
Review location for ceiling hatches or maintenance access panels
4. Tile Strategy & Surface Planning
Recommend ideal tile size per room for layout symmetry and reduced cutting:
Bedrooms: 60×60 or 60×120 cm
Toilets: 60×60 R10 matte (floors), 60×120 vertical (walls)
Evaluate tile transition zones: wet/dry separation, room thresholds
Suggest skirting treatment (cut tile, shadow gap, or custom)
Propose dry-lay alignment logic (centerlines, entry framing)
5. Wet Area Optimization
Audit toilet and shower layouts for comfort spacing and fixture alignment
Confirm slope direction (1.5–2%) toward floor drains
Review drain alignment with tile joints or furniture lines
Recommend waterproofing strategies (PU, bitumen, acrylic) with minimum 150 mm wall upturn
Flag protection needs at vanity or cabinet bases (MR ply, silicone seals)
6. Natural Light & Orientation Audit
Evaluate room daylight exposure based on villa orientation
Recommend layout or window shifts for better solar access
Propose solutions for overheating (especially south/west-facing walls)
Suggest shading or glazing ideas if needed
