SOLUTION: Use the Field Guide for Retrofits in Occupied Buildings

LISTEN...

Most multi-unit residential owners are accustomed to undertaking as-needed capital repairs, structured as small, like-for-like improvement projects. For most owners, this will be the first complex retrofit undertaken at their property.

The Field Guide provides owners with an understanding of what a retrofit might entail, designing projects to mitigate disruption to tenants, special considerations for construction in occupied suites, and a number of innovative approaches that can help make these projects successful.

For tenants, the Field Guide is a tool to help frame expectations and anticipate what may happen during construction. It will also help tenants understand their rights during construction, how they may be able to get involved to improve the outcomes for themselves and their communities, and how to understand the risk of renoviction.
