After the initial construction of your space has been completed, you may find that you need additional items or specific requirements have changed. As you discover changes, please notify us.
All construction, electrical work and so forth, must be approved by Property Management prior to any work starting in the building.
In all instances we require that your contractor execute a Lien Waiver and provide copies of licenses and insurance to Cushman & Wakefield. Click here for a Waiver of Lien. Depending on the scope of the work, we may require drawings for our files that show the changes made.
Contracting on Your Own
Many Tenants prefer to contract on their own for alterations. To coordinate well with building systems and the needs of other Tenants, please remember to:
- Forward your plans to the Property Manager well in advance of scheduling the work. We will review them, suggest any needed changes, and advise you of the Landlord’s approval;
- Once approval has been obtained, be sure that your architect or general contractor obtains all required permits, and forward copies to the Property Manager.
- Provide Property Management with the name of the contractor and sub-contractors you plan to use. While it is rare, Cushman & Wakefield reserves the right to reject a specific contractor and request that you use someone else;
- Provide a general schedule for your construction, as well as names and telephone numbers for the contractor and all sub-contractors.
- Provide copies of contractor licenses and a certificate of insurance for each contractor working in the building;
- Remind your contractors of the need to comply with building procedures for noise, deliveries, and debris removal;
- If your alterations require work to be done to building electric or HVAC systems, remind your contractor to consult early and often with the building engineering staff - they can help you achieve a successful project.
- When paying your contractor, be sure to obtain a Lien Waiver from your contractor and any sub-contractors, and forward them to the Landlord.
- When the project is complete, provide us with an air balance report (if applicable) and as-built drawings.
If you have questions about any aspect of the construction, please contact your Property Manager. We are happy to assist you.
