What to establish before the ceiling is disturbed
Gather the survey, a room plan and photographs taken without disturbing the surface. Mark new lighting, ventilation and other penetrations as well as the visible finish changes. Ask whether fixtures need isolating or removing by another trade, how the room will be released for finishing, and what closeout records will be provided. Do not scrape a test patch or sand the coating to see how easily it comes away.
Match Texas requirements to the building and project
Texas DSHS distinguishes private residences, public buildings and other facilities. Describe the occupancy, use and complete renovation or demolition project before deciding what survey and notification requirements apply. A single-home assumption should not be extended to a larger project without checking.
