Plan an interior stone floor from the doorways inward
Draw the floor as a set of connected rooms rather than a blank rectangle of attractive stone. Mark doorways, cabinets, existing thresholds and any neighboring finish that will remain. Identify which rooms the household must keep using during the work and where furniture will be moved. This first drawing is an owner coordination tool, not a technical substrate assessment. It helps the installer explain the project in context instead of quoting an area that omits the edges and transitions most likely to affect the finished experience.

An interior stone floor handoff that explains what is beneath the finish
Ask the installer to identify the selected stone, finish and installed assembly in the final floor record. Include the relevant product instructions and drawings they relied on, with dates or revision labels where available. This record is not an owner-written recipe for reconstructing the floor. Its purpose is to preserve the actual decisions so a later repair or remodeling conversation does not begin with guesses based only on the visible tile. Where information is unavailable, describe that gap instead of filling it with the generic specification of another room.
