Commercial · Greater Vancouver
Multi-family buildings, retail and restaurant units, and rough in work for general contractors. The trade is the same; what changes is the coordination. Access to occupied units, work that cannot run into opening hours, and a site schedule you are not the only one on.
On residential work a verbal understanding usually survives contact with the job. On a building with a council, a property manager, tenants and other trades, it does not. Everyone needs the same document: what is being done, what is not, where the isolation points are, and how long the water is off.
That is as much for our benefit as yours. A scope in writing is what prevents the conversation where the work is finished and someone expected something different.
A retail unit cannot lose water during trading. A restaurant cannot lose a kitchen at lunchtime. An occupied residential building needs notice before anyone knocks, and the notice period is usually set by the Act rather than by preference.
So the work gets staged around those constraints rather than the constraints being treated as an inconvenience. Sometimes that means evenings or early starts. It is generally cheaper than the alternative, which is a tenant claim.
For GCs, what matters is that we hold our dates, keep our part of the site clean, and do not leave the trade behind us with a problem to solve. We would rather flag a conflict on the drawings in week one than be the reason a pour gets delayed.
