Coordinate building access
How can a building plan separate public and contractor access?
Begin with the public journeys that must continue and the proposed contractor route. Ask the building team to review their intersections before agreeing access. Separate entrances may help, but they do not by themselves resolve shared corridors, lifts or destinations inside the building.

Draw both journeys to their endpoints
Include the reception desk, tenant entrances, delivery point and work boundary. A side entrance can still lead into a public corridor. Record when each route is used and which doors are controlled by management. Do not direct occupants through service spaces simply because the usual entrance is inconvenient for the removal work.
Review conflict points with management
Ask how deliveries, visitors and contractor movement will be coordinated where paths meet. The responsible team should determine any required protection, supervision or alternative arrangement. Signage can communicate an agreed route; it cannot make an unsuitable route acceptable. Keep accessibility and emergency arrangements within the building team's review rather than prescribing them from a generic diagram.
Keep the instruction current
A tenant move, an event or another contractor can change the access picture. Identify who can revise the route and how the change reaches reception, security and the removal team. Before a commercial strip-out assessment, provide a marked access plan and operating constraints so the proposed work can be considered in its occupied-building context.
