Describe the junctions users cross
Follow corridor flooring to suite doors, lift lobbies and stair entrances. The receiving installer determines the new finish transitions and repairs. Do not assume removing a covering also includes every backing layer or establishes the final surface level.
In a lobby, distinguish loose furniture from attached desks, display joinery and connected fixtures. Management identifies ownership and retained functions. Elevator equipment, access-control systems and fire-protection work need their responsible specialists; they are not included by calling the area a lobby strip-out.
Agree access through the building team
Management and the responsible professionals determine which spaces can be released, how building users are accommodated and what arrangements apply to shared routes. A proposed phase line does not itself establish a safe or approved circulation route.
Use the phase handoff guide for recording release conditions. Keep the design comparison here focused on the physical work each stage leaves for the next contractor.
Compare two refurbishment packages
One illustrative proposal keeps the lobby layout and renews finishes around the existing desk. Another replaces the desk and changes an adjoining amenity-room partition. The second adds attachment, ceiling-edge and room-boundary questions; neither automatically includes corridor flooring on every floor.
The GC should identify where demolition stops and new flooring, millwork, services and final finishing begin. Reopening decisions belong to the building's project team.

Contact Clearpath with the shared areas, proposed changes and authorised management contact. Our interior-demolition service is the route for the ordinary removal contribution. Private-suite work is a different package; see the complete condo strip-out guide when that is the actual project.
