Compare retained and duplicate facilities
| Existing feature | Decision in the combined layout |
|---|---|
| Two kitchens | Which remains, and what happens at the removed kitchen's finishes? |
| Separate wet rooms | Which are retained or renewed under the design? |
| Two circulation routes | Which doors and partitions remain useful? |
| Separate floor finishes | How will new surfaces meet across the combined plan? |

Illustrative two-suite plan
Suite A retains its kitchen and living area. Suite B becomes additional bedrooms and a study, with its kitchen removed under the approved plan. The ordinary package includes specified cabinetry, partitions and finish layers within each suite. The connecting boundary follows its own reviewed design and release.
A wider option renews more floors and ceilings across both suites. That may change the finish handover but does not remove the need to identify retained building systems and construction.
Coordinate the two interior packages
Number the areas consistently on drawings and removal lists. Identify which contractor receives the former kitchen, the connection edges and the continuous finishes. Unexpected conditions in one suite should not automatically change instructions in the other.
Bring the combined drawings to SiteClear
Provide the current and approved proposed layouts, management instructions and the builder's receiving requirements. SiteClear can assess ordinary interior removals and any separately supported reviewed scope. Use the existing condo management guide for building coordination; a booked elevator is not approval to alter the connecting wall.
