Plan a residential renovation

Demolition packages for several lawfully vacant apartments

Several vacant apartments need not share one removal scope. Compare each suite's planned renovation and known existing layers before grouping work. The owner must separately resolve lawful authority and applicable approvals; physical vacancy alone does not establish permission to begin.

Record exceptions within each group. Earlier renovations, different bathroom layouts or retained built-ins can change a suite even where its floor plan resembles the one next door.

Illustrative three-suite programme

One suite keeps its kitchen, a second renews only the bathroom, and a third changes selected room divisions. Assessing a representative room can clarify the receiving condition, but it does not make all three packages identical. Keep the different stopping layers and retained fittings visible in the schedule.

Coordinate the shared building

Management and the GC establish suite access, common routes and material collection. Other residents may use those same corridors and lifts. Explain which suites can be released, which decisions remain open and which contractors need access next; avoid placing personal tenant information in the enquiry.

The Toronto rental-renovation planning guide separates the licensing question from operational access. It is not tenancy or eviction advice.

Request the first assessments

Provide suite types, current/proposed layouts, retained fixtures and the authorised project contact. SiteClear can assess the ordinary interior removals and next-trade handover. A grouped programme does not imply simultaneous crews, a fixed vacancy period or a promised production rate.
