Prepare a developer-delivered flat for move-in with planned drywall zones, ceilings, lighting coves, wall preparation and paint.
Prepare a developer-delivered flat for move-in with planned drywall zones, ceilings, lighting coves, wall preparation and paint.
What this scope covers
A newly handed-over apartment is not necessarily ready for furniture simply because the walls have paint. Check wall planes, door openings, sockets, AC routes and lighting first. Nikolai can sequence a partition, curtain recess, lowered ceiling, wall preparation and finish coat as one interior project. Record which items are developer defects and which are owner-requested changes before anyone alters the original surfaces.
How the work is sequenced
Photograph the flat before work and list issues room by room. Fix furniture, lighting, AC and access-panel positions, then mark new drywall. Electrical and other specialist routes must be completed before framing is closed. Check geometry and backing, install boards, finish joints, skim and paint. Inspect the final surface under the room's intended lighting and after drying, rather than approving fresh paint.
What changes the quote
The starting finish level, number of new assemblies, desired flatness, ceiling height, delivery access and move-in deadline affect the quote. Separate developer snags, owner upgrades and specialist work. Comparable offers list partition and ceiling measurements, board type, recesses, surface preparation and paint. A fixed price before examining the substrate and service points can conceal missing stages.
Scope and specialist trades
Nikolai's finishing scope is not a substitute for a technical handover inspection or a promise to remedy unknown developer defects. Structural alterations, live electrical connections, kitchen installation and door supply are not automatically included. Name the appropriate specialist and handover point when those tasks affect the finishing sequence.

Questions
Can we paint before building the new ceiling?
That often means protecting and repainting surfaces twice. Agree hidden routes and drywall first, then finish.
Who fixes developer defects?
Record them separately before changes start. Developer responsibility and Nikolai's added work should not be merged into one vague quote line.
