Workshop planning checklist

Project: __________________ Date: __________________

Define the purpose Name the next three projects. Decide which household uses must remain. Choose a shared or dedicated workspace.

Record the room Measure length, width, ceiling and openings. Mark doors, fixed equipment and access routes. Record storage and equipment footprints. Check operating clearances against manufacturer instructions.

Make the budget List what is needed now and what can wait. Include tax, delivery, installation and professional work. Check current prices rather than headline savings.

Resolve before setup List electrical, dust, ventilation, noise and safety questions. Consult qualified professionals where needed. Check building-use rules and equipment requirements.

Review after the first project Note the layout changes that would help. Identify unused purchases before buying more. Keep access routes and equipment movement clear.
