Tenant deadlines don't wait for coordination.

Twelve tenants, twelve fit-out contractors, twelve programmes. All running against one opening date. Your shell-and-core team is issuing drawings while the first tenants are already on site. We coordinate the shell once, demarcate the tenant interface, and release each fit-out package as an independent verified handover.

Retail coordination

Coordinate the shell once. Release each tenant package independently

Four coordination layers that keep parallel fit-outs on track against a fixed opening date.

What it is
What it delivers
Shell & Core to Tenant Interface

Clear demarcation between landlord base-build and tenant fit-out zones. MEP capping points, structural load allowances, and ceiling void depths documented per unit.

Every tenant contractor starts from verified base-build data, not assumptions. The first week of fit-out isn't spent resolving demarcation.

Multi-Tenant Coordination

Each tenant package coordinated against the landlord shell and adjacent units in a federated model. Multiple fit-out contractors working to different programmes, all checked at unit boundaries.

No clashes at shared walls, service risers, or common area boundaries. Fit-outs run in parallel without conflicts.

Ceiling & Public Area Coordination

Public-area ceilings modelled as a combined services and architectural element. Lighting, sprinklers, HVAC diffusers, signage, and acoustic treatment integrated into one coordinated layout.

On-site clashes eliminated at the most visible parts of the building. Public areas open cleanly.

Programme-Driven Phasing

Model structured for phased handover so anchor tenants, food court, and common areas release independently. Each phase has its own coordinated package with stage-gate sign-off through the CDE.

The opening date is protected because each phase is independently verified, not held hostage by the slowest fit-out.

What we deliver

From shell to opening day
One team.

Three stages. Click any to expand the deliverables and BIM requirements at that stage.

Landlord and tenant scope separated at LOD 300. Shell-and-core base-build coordinated against tenant interface requirements so every fit-out contractor starts from verified data. Public-area ceilings designed as a combined services and architectural element from the first federation.

Key Processes

Shell & core demarcation

MEP capping points, structural load allowances, and ceiling void depths documented per unit so every fit-out starts from verified base-build data.

Back-of-house services

Loading docks, service corridors, plant rooms, and vertical risers coordinated at LOD 400 for routing, access, and maintenance clearance.

Ceiling & public-area layout

Lighting, sprinklers, HVAC diffusers, signage, and acoustic treatment modelled as a combined services and architectural element across all public zones.

Deliverables

  • Federated design models (LOD 300)
  • Shell-and-core demarcation drawings per unit
  • Tenant interface specifications (MEP capping, structural loads, void depths)
  • Public area ceiling coordination models
  • Coordinated GA and tender drawings

BIM Requirements

BEP with tenant demarcation

BIM Execution Plan defining shell-and-core vs tenant scope, phased handover requirements, and fit-out interface protocols.

CDE per tenant zone

Common Data Environment structured by zone with naming conventions and approval workflows so each tenant package is independently trackable.

LOD by handover phase

Level of Development requirements tied to each opening phase, not just discipline. ISO 19650 enforced through Solibri before drops.

Each tenant fit-out issued as an independent coordinated package against the base-build and adjacent units. Anchor tenants, food court, and common areas released as separate stage-gated packages. Signage and wayfinding coordinated against fit-out boundaries before installation.

Key Processes

Phased package release

Anchor tenants, food court, and common areas issued as independent coordinated packages, each with stage-gate sign-off through the CDE.

Parallel fit-out management

Multiple tenant contractors coordinated against the base-build and each other. No clashes between adjacent fit-outs at shared walls or risers.

Wayfinding & signage

Signage, wayfinding, and tenant frontage coordinated against fit-out boundaries per zone before installation.

Deliverables

  • Per-tenant fit-out coordination packages
  • Clash detection reports per zone
  • Phased release construction models
  • Back-of-house services coordination (LOD 400)
  • Signage and wayfinding coordination per zone

BIM Requirements

Per-zone clash cycle

Federation reviews run per tenant zone with issues tracked in BIM Track to closure before each stage gate.

LOD 400 audit · BOH

Loading docks, plant rooms, and vertical risers validated against fabrication tolerances and maintenance access.

Stage-gate sign-off

Each phase package signed off through the CDE before the next opening tranche starts. Navisworks federation per stage.

As-built models verified per tenant unit against installed conditions. Asset data structured by zone and common area so FM systems receive clean datasets at each opening phase, not a bulk dump at the end. Each opening tranche transferred with verified documentation.

Key Processes

Per-tenant as-builts

As-built models verified per unit against installed conditions. Each tenant zone independently confirmed before handover.

Asset data by zone

COBie data structured per tenant zone and common area so FM systems receive clean, zone-specific datasets at each opening.

Phased FM handover

Each opening phase transferred with verified documentation. No separate data collection exercise at the end of the programme.

Deliverables

  • As-built models per tenant zone
  • COBie asset data per unit and common area
  • Maintenance access verification
  • Common area FM documentation
  • EIR compliance validation reports

BIM Requirements

COBie validation

Asset data audited against the EIR's information requirement schedule, zone-by-zone.

IFC final drop

IFC 4.0 federation deposited in CDE per phase with EIR sign-off attached.

FM system handshake

Asset data mapped to client CAFM / EAM schema before transfer at each opening tranche.
