Review architect and design-team coordination ↗02 / Occupied-space coordination
Make the work legible while the space stays in use.
Occupied commercial interiors need a clear plan for access, protection, deliveries, noise, dust, and the handoff between work areas and daily operations.
The building’s rules and the tenant’s operating needs shape the sequence. We coordinate the moving pieces with the project team and licensed trades.
Read the building rules and logistics guide ↗03 / Design-team coordination
Keep drawings, trades, and site decisions aligned.
Architect and design-team coordination can keep finish intent, existing conditions, submittals, and field decisions connected as the interior takes shape.
We work with the project’s architect, designer, building representatives, and licensed trades within their respective roles.

05 / Insurance and COI overview
Requirements are building- and project-dependent.
Commercial buildings may require certificates of insurance, Additional Insured wording, workers’ compensation documentation, trade certificates, and other project-specific paperwork. Requirements vary by building, management, scope, and contract.
Corniel does not publish specific insurance limits here. The project team confirms the applicable requirements before work begins.

Keep the filing conversation in the right hands.
We help coordinate alteration agreement requirements and DOB-related filings through licensed professionals when required. Final approvals remain with the building, board, or applicable agency.
The applicable filing path depends on the scope, existing conditions, design documents, and agency requirements.
