- Clear opening and swing/slide space
- Ground levels, drainage and foundation positions
- Vehicle turning and pedestrian routes
- Existing walls, posts and boundaries
- Power/data route if automation is planned

In Cheslyn Hay, the access and existing-condition points described above can also affect how many visits or stages are needed.
