With every interior production you are managing, ensure that there is protective floor covering on the delicate surfaces. This is especially true for private homes. The last thing you want is to have to remedy or pay for avoidable scratches and damages.

Ornaments of a private house are best packed away and replaced with props. Something may not look priceless but if broken or damaged , it will cost you a replacement fee.

No matter how small the damage is, it is a damage and it needs to be reported. Keep a log of EVERYTHING when you are handed over a location. Take pictures of everything, pictures with time and date stamps, catalogue the images. If a damage already exists ensure the property owner is aware so that it is not deemed to have been made by the production. When the shoot is over, put everything back as it was and re-catalogue with pictures and data ready for hand over.
Just a few hints to keep you on your way to being the best location manager you can be.
