Resources / Building coordination
Building documents, property governance and project scope determine what materials and reviews may apply. Use the current documents for the actual property; this reference is not legal advice, a permit determination or approval.
Building coordination
01
A tenant improvement conversation starts with the lease boundary, landlord work letter, existing building documents and specific scope. Clarify which party controls shared or base-building systems and who reviews the tenant submission.
02
Ask the owner or authorized building representative which current bylaws, house rules, contracts or alteration requirements apply to the commercial interior scope.
03
Identify the lobby, hallway, corridor or other shared space, the proposed work and the boundaries of the project request.
04
The landlord or property manager, owner representative, architect/designer, engineers, contractors and procurement contact may hold distinct responsibilities. Confirm who owns each decision.
05
Applicable filings, permits, insurance and professional responsibilities depend on the defined scope and actual property. Obtain confirmation from the responsible design professional and applicable authority.
06
Record the current requirements, submitted scope, reviewer questions and written decisions in the approved project record. No approval or timeline is promised by this guide.

Commercial / project planning
Share project location, scope and available documents. Do not email confidential plans or bid files.
Use a building-specific planning discussion to organize current commercial tenant and landlord scope, building documents and responsible project-team questions.
Send the address, the scope and your drawings or photos. Waldy Corniel reviews every inquiry personally.
