Small, boring mistakes. Big, expensive faces. Every one of these happens on real fit-outs.

Ambulant WC frames need a deeper waste connection and a different flush-button connection. Order the standard frame and you're re-buying the IPS panels.

Screens, grab rails, wall-hung joinery and sanitaryware need pattressing before boarding. Miss one and the finished wall gets cut open again.

"Floor to ceiling" means from the finished floor. Brief the dryliner, agree the datum and check levels early, or the doors, glazing and joinery won't fit.
The 101 mistakes are grouped by RIBA stage, so you can jump to where your project is today.
Drawingman is run by Enrico, a design manager on commercial office fit-outs in London. This book collects the mistakes he sees again and again, so you can catch them on the drawings, not on site.
