INTERFACE MATRIX

Package-to-Package Dependencies

Which packages depend on which. Read across: the row package requires the column package to be complete (or partially complete) before it can start. P = predecessor (must complete first). = concurrent interface (coordinate access).

WP-06 (L6 Reception) and WP-08 accent finishes omitted for clarity — both follow the same dependency chain as WP-05 joinery. The critical path runs: WP-01 → WP-02 → WP-09/WP-10 (concurrent) → WP-04 → WP-05 → WP-07 → commission → handover.
