Unit scope and shared systems

A building request is easier to follow when the proposed removal and the unanswered questions travel together. Start with the rooms and finishes involved, then list what remains. Flag any connection to shared plumbing, ventilation, alarms or structure for the appropriate building contact. A finish marked for removal does not establish permission to alter the system behind it.

Build the packet index

Give every drawing, photograph set and contractor document a name and date. Ask management which documents apply to this unit and who reviews them. Put missing information in the index as pending rather than attaching an unrelated certificate or treating a requested document as approved. Keep contact details in your private working copy, not in publicly shared drawings.

Record responses without assuming approval

Record the date sent, recipient and response for each item. Separate approval of the removal scope from an elevator reservation or a proposed work period. If a response changes the plan, identify the affected drawing and ask which version should govern. This packet organises a conversation; it does not determine the building's rules or replace municipal or professional review.

Carry the agreed limits into the estimate

Bring the current index, removal drawing and unresolved questions to the condo interior enquiry. Note who will book the route from the unit to loading, which areas require protection and who will accept the common areas afterwards. The estimate can then identify dependencies instead of silently assuming that every permission is in place.
