What is considered a limitation in the context of restoration work?

In the context of restoration work, a limitation refers to any factor that restricts the ability to perform tasks efficiently or effectively. When considering restrictions placed upon the restorer by the customer, these represent clear limitations as they can dictate how the work must be conducted. Such restrictions might include specific conditions regarding the safety of the premises, preferred methods of restoration, or limitations on access to certain parts of a property, which then influence the overall approach and execution of the restoration project.

While additional resources, weather conditions, and time constraints can all pose challenges, they may not always fall under the direct control of the restorer or could be managed through planning or adaptation. Customer-imposed restrictions, however, are more likely to impact the scope and efficiency of the restoration process and necessitate careful negotiation and management to ensure that the project meets both the client's requirements and the standards of restoration practice.
