Understanding Schedules 229
9.3 FINISH SCHEDULE.
A finish schedule specifies the interior finish material for each room, space, and floor in the building. The
finish schedule provides information for the walls, floors, ceilings, baseboards, doors, and window trim.
Finish schedules can vary in both format and complexity. A single-family home will generally consist of
a limited number of finishes. Commercial buildings, on the other hand, may consist of a larger number
of wall and floor finishes. The larger finish schedules are normally in a matrix format and are typically
divided into categories such as by space use or by floor. The Y axis lists the spaces, and the X axis is
sectioned into floors, base, walls, and ceilings. The room finish schedule should have an entry for every
room and hallway in the house or room addition. Finish schedules will also list ceiling heights and marks
for each space. The marks can constitute room numbers. Typical examples of finish schedules are
shown in Figure 9.7.
