Tenant Fit-up plans in Ottawa

The team at R.Viau Drafting & Design has helped a multitude of businesses in Ottawa move into leased spaces designed to suit their work.

Tenant fit-up plans are created to outline how a commercial or retail space will be customized or renovated to meet the specific needs of a new tenant. These plans are a critical part of the process when a business moves into a leased or rented space and requires modifications to the interior layout, utilities, or design to suit its operations.

Customization

These plans allow the tenant to customize the space to fit their specific operational requirements, creating a functional environment that supports their business activities.

Building Code Compliance

Fit-up plans ensure that all changes to the space comply with local building codes and safety regulations. For example, the plans may specify the number of exit doors required based on occupancy load or ensure the layout adheres to fire code requirements.

Landlord / Building Owner Approval

Fit-up plans are often required by the landlord or building owner before they approve the tenant’s request for changes. They ensure that the alterations won’t damage the building or violate lease agreements and that the building’s infrastructure can support the new layout.

Cost Estimation

Tenant fit-up plans provide an accurate cost estimate for construction and renovation work. This helps tenants plan their budgets and allows contractors to give quotes for the work based on the detailed plans.
