BEFORE WORK STARTS

Condo renovations involve the unit and the building

Each condominium corporation can have its own renovation rules. Owners should confirm requirements with property management before scheduling construction.

Management approval

Some buildings require drawings, contractor documents or written approval before work begins.

Elevators & deliveries

Service elevator reservations and delivery windows can affect the construction schedule.

Work hours & noise

Renovation hours, noisy work and common-area protection are often controlled by building rules.

Flooring requirements

Some condos specify acoustic underlay or other flooring requirements.

Debris removal

Construction waste may need to follow building-specific routes and disposal rules.

Insurance & contractor documents

Property management may request contractor insurance or other documentation.

COORDINATION

Plan building logistics before demolition

Confirm the condo corporation’s current requirements directly with management. This helps prevent avoidable delays once construction is scheduled.
