Position and thickness may offer clues but do not prove the function. A partition can provide fire or acoustic separation or contain services. Provide drawings and arrange appropriate assessment.
Services and connections
Water pipes, cables and other facilities may run within the wall. The designated trade makes them safe and identifies retained connections.
Surrounding finishes
Agree the removal line, rubble collection and any floor, ceiling or wall repairs. Closing the floor joint is not automatically included in wall removal.
What is included?
The quotation lists removed components and layers, protection and waste arrangements. Structural provisions, service adjustments and reinstatement are included only where expressly specified.

Work sequence and safety
Photos and documents support the initial assessment. Where needed, a site visit or specialist information follows. Equipment, dust control, protection, sorting and handover fit the actual project. Unknown materials or structural functions require assessment before work continues.
Your Amsterdam property
Include the floor level, access route and permitted lift loads. Shared areas, homeowners’ association arrangements and any protected status are considered when preparing the work.
