Coordinate building access
How are dust and noise contained in an occupied tower?
Ask for a building-specific control and communication plan. In an occupied tower, the important interfaces are shared air, structure, access routes and the activities proposed beside tenants.
SiteClear planning resources / Reviewed 7 October 2026
Ask about the interfaces
Identify who controls ventilation and building systems, who coordinates neighbouring occupants and how the work zone connects to common areas. A demolition contractor should not assume responsibility for changing shared systems without the responsible building team's direction.
Agree what will be checked
Discuss how the project team will inspect separation, debris handling and shared routes, and how an occupant concern will be assessed. Dust and noise need different responses; neither is resolved by moving all work to evenings. Current City rules and building conditions still apply.
Recognise the limit of general advice
If the material assessment identifies a regulated hazard, the corresponding requirements must govern that work. This guide is for owner coordination and does not prescribe equipment settings, asbestos procedures or a universal containment design.
