01 / UNDERSTAND THE MARKET
The location informs
the scope.
Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park commercial requests should identify the actual facility and jurisdiction, particularly where a Westlake mailing name creates ambiguity.
Decisions to resolve before pricing
For an occupied office, commercial or managed property, describe the portion released for construction and the systems remaining operational. Separate building-owner work from tenant improvements and identify who approves each package.
Separate the work packages.
Identify demolition and preparation, building systems, finishes and any recovery work separately. Ask each proposal to state assumptions, exclusions, the information still needed and the person authorized to approve changes.
