Plan the handover between office strip-out phases

An office phase should have a boundary that people can identify on site. Mark the rooms being stripped, the areas that remain occupied and the shared routes between them. A line around the work area is incomplete if debris must pass through a corridor used by staff.

Prepare a simple plan key: W for the proposed work zone, R for retained space and L for the agreed load-out route. This is a coordination sketch, not a safety or access approval. Property management and the responsible project team need to resolve any conflict before a phase begins.

Do not treat a date in a programme as proof that an area is ready to change hands. Agree who checks removed items, retained finishes, housekeeping and any temporary condition. Record the open items that prevent release and who will resolve them.

Confirm what happens to furniture, IT equipment and active building services before the boundary moves. Disconnection and relocation belong to the responsible specialists. A demolition crew should not infer that a cable or device is abandoned because a desk has been removed.

Identify any access needed through a completed area for later work. If that route must stay protected, state when protection can be removed and who accepts its condition. Record revised boundaries so the next crew does not work from the earlier phase plan.

CoreCut’s commercial strip-out service starts from these building and scope arrangements. For the initial pricing package, use the tender schedule; this phase record is for releasing areas during the work.

Use one entry per item or work area. Add the drawing or photograph reference, record unknowns explicitly and name the person who will resolve them. Keep the completed record with the agreed scope; the blank fields below are a discussion aid.

Request an estimate with the location, the proposed removals and what must stay. Mention the unresolved items in this record so they can be discussed before the scope is agreed.
