Lanes here often hold homes and shops together, so material delivery, parking and working hours need planning before work starts.

These are general planning points, not a promise about any one building. The site visit confirms what applies to yours.
In flats, painting is usually priced on carpet area and often includes touch-ups for seepage marks and hairline cracks near windows. Ask whether the society restricts using lifts for material.
In independent houses, exterior walls, staircase, boundary wall and terrace parapet are separate scopes and need scaffolding or ladders. Ask for them as separate line items.
In shops and offices, painting is often done after business hours or on a closed day, so confirm timings, shutter access and drying time before the next working day.
