Confirm products, phasing, and deliveries

Identify transitions, adhesives, underlayment, and finish details.
Remove existing flooring and install the new system
The active work phase should follow plan removal, substrate preparation, deliveries, installation, and required adhesive or coating cure times around facility operations. Coordinate access, furniture movement, dust control, and protection of adjacent areas before scheduling work.
