- Permit filing fees and plan review, unless the pro agrees to coordinate them.

Before you book tenant improvement & white-box demo
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Get the lease turnover language
Read the section on surrender condition and ask the landlord what white box means in writing. The scope depends on it.
Ask for a hazardous-material survey
Especially in an older building, ask the landlord for any existing survey or order one. Do not let anyone scrape, sand or break up old flooring or ceilings before results are known.
Confirm utilities and shutoffs
Find out who controls power, water and sprinkler shutoffs and arrange them ahead of the visit. A pro cannot start safely until the right systems are isolated.
Clear tenant property first
Remove computers, files, equipment and personal items before demolition. Decide what is being salvaged, sold or donated, and what the pro should dispose of.
Arrange building access and insurance
Book the freight elevator, loading dock and parking, and send the building any insurance certificate it asks for. Delays here can hold up the entire job.
Document the starting and ending condition
Photograph the space before and after, including walls and floors in common areas. Photos give you a record if the turnover is questioned.
Say where in Atherton you are
