Prepare trade interfaces
How should a condo kitchen removal account for shared risers?
Ask management and the responsible trades to identify shared-service boundaries before treating the kitchen as a self-contained removal area. Cabinets and finishes can sit beside systems serving other units. The planning task is to distinguish the proposed finish removal from service work and common-element questions.

Describe the kitchen change precisely
Mark which cabinets, counters and finishes are proposed for removal and which appliances or fittings remain. Identify visible connections without assuming where they lead. Ask the designer or appropriate trade to resolve the relationship between the proposed work and shared services. A photograph can locate a question but cannot establish the status of a concealed riser.
Coordinate approval and shutdown questions
Management should identify applicable building procedures and the contact for shared-system review. Required municipal permissions depend on the actual alteration and should be confirmed with the responsible authority. Keep any approved shutdown arrangement separate from the removal instruction so the demolition team can see both the boundary and the condition needed before proceeding.
Define the handover to the next trade
Record which connections remain untouched and who receives the exposed area. If an unexpected connection appears, raise it for review rather than extending the removal because the replacement kitchen needs space. This guide addresses the shared-building interface, not kitchen layout design, plumbing methods or a new specialist service offered by SiteClear.
