Confirm scope and approvals

What building information should a tenant share before demolition planning?

Give the planning team information about the work area and the operations that must continue, while limiting personal and business-sensitive detail. The goal is to describe constraints accurately: which spaces remain occupied, what needs access and who can make building decisions.

Describe operations without exposing records

Identify relevant opening periods, deliveries, occupied rooms and equipment that must remain available. Use functional descriptions such as active communications room rather than passwords, customer records or security codes. A plan can mark a restricted room without including its contents. Ask the building contact how sensitive drawings or photographs should be shared.

Separate tenant knowledge from building authority

A tenant may know how a room is used but not own the systems serving it. Record who supplied each important constraint and which points still need management or professional confirmation. This prevents an assumption about a cable, duct or riser from becoming a removal instruction simply because it appeared in the tenant's inventory.

Maintain one current operations note

Update the note when occupancy, deliveries or retained equipment change. Tell the project lead which earlier information is superseded and which trades need the revision. Keep the demolition enquiry focused on site and scope facts, not confidential access credentials. SiteClear can use this operational context when reviewing commercial removal and coordination needs with the responsible building team.
