Just out of curiosity, how do you perform demo in a second floor bathroom over a finished plastered room. The shower was tiled with a mudset on the walls and floor. It is difficult to get anything done without banging and using hammer drills. So how do you all prevent from cracking plaster in the rest of the house in areas that are not in the construction zone?

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

You don't. You price in the repair and painting of ceiling below "if needed".
Other than that, get the chipper at a low angle. I suppose you could cut the floor but, in the end, the ceiling is either going to crack or it's not pretty much whatever you do.
