Curtain & Track Project Information Checklist
Use this checklist before professional project review. It is designed to identify the information needed to coordinate aperture geometry, track route, fixing interface, curtain construction, stack-back, access and programme. Final survey and specification remain project-specific.
1. Project & package status
- Professional role and project contact
- Project stage: concept, developed design, technical design, tender, construction or fit-out
- Project address and site contact
- Number of apertures, rooms, plots or repeated window types
- Target survey, approval, manufacture and installation dates
2. Drawings & geometry
- Latest GA plans, reflected ceiling plans where relevant, elevations and sections
- Window schedule or opening references
- Finished aperture width, side heights, apex/peak height and relevant angled dimensions
- Ceiling line, recess depth, wall returns and adjacent joinery
- Any known dimensional tolerances or construction still subject to change
3. Track & fixing interface
- Proposed track route and whether the design follows the aperture, frames it, or uses another arrangement
- Ceiling, wall or recess fixing preference
- Known substrate/build-up at track level
- Available fixing zones and any services or obstructions
- Required operation and any limits on draw direction
- Expected curtain weight or textile specification if already known
4. Curtain specification
- Heading type and fullness if defined
- Face fabric, pattern repeat and orientation if defined
- Lining, blackout lining, thermal lining or interlining requirement
- Finished drop, floor relationship and sill/obstruction conditions
- Stack-back target and minimum clear-opening requirement
- Tieback or hold position only where part of the confirmed design intent
5. Access, installation & handover
- Finished floor level and installation height
- Working-at-height or access-equipment constraints
- Site access, delivery route and protection requirements
- Programme sequencing around ceilings, decoration, flooring and joinery
- Power or control interfaces only where relevant to the agreed system
- Snagging, commissioning and handover requirements
