Start with the conditions in the space.

Large-format tile creates quiet surfaces, but it makes substrate and layout problems more visible. The scope should verify flatness, plan movement accommodation and specify handling and setting methods suited to the tile. The goal is consistent plane, joint alignment and coverage across the full installation.

01

Property and substrate

Confirm the civic address and material unloading access. Measure wall or floor flatness against the selected format and identify patching, levelling, reinforcement or movement treatment before delivery.

02

Access and sequence

Check the existing surface and finished floor heights. Verify that tile crates and full-size pieces fit through doors, elevators and stairs, with protected space available for cutting and staging.

03

Ontario project conditions

Agree on preparation, product requirements and available work dates. Large porcelain and setting materials should reach suitable interior temperature before installation, particularly after cold-weather transport.
