Services for Commercial Property Managers

---

This is the first architectural step before permit drawings are prepared.

It defines:

• how suites can be divided or combined
• how exits and public corridors must function
• what base‑building work is required vs. optional
• where cost can be reduced without compromising compliance

• Tenant suite demising or recombination
• Corridor and exit reconfiguration
• Base‑building fire separations
• Accessibility upgrades in public areas
• Orders to Comply affecting landlord scope
• Capital reinvestment tied to leasing

• Confirm the code‑compliant demising strategy
• Identify required base‑building upgrades
• Establish a clear scope for permit drawings
• Proceed into coordinated permit documentation and general review

By confirming the compliant demising strategy first, we narrow scope early, align drawings with OBC requirements, and cut down on late‑stage changes.

If a demising or base‑building strategy needs to be confirmed before drawings proceed, start with suite demising and building code compliance planning to define scope and next steps.

This service is well suited to landlord or tenant‑driven changes where demising, exits, or base‑building requirements need to be clearly resolved so permit drawings can proceed efficiently.

This service does not address cosmetic tenant refreshes or informal code opinions. It is intended for situations where demising, exits, or base‑building compliance must be clearly defined before permit drawings proceed.
