Phasing Monoglass work in an occupied building

By Industry Army Marketing (IAM) · September 28, 2026

An occupied building needs a handover plan as well as an installation schedule. Define the boundaries of each phase so the owner, contractor and occupants understand when an area is unavailable and who can release it for use.

Describe what must stay open

Mark public routes, deliveries, tenant access and equipment that must continue operating. Give the contractor realistic working windows instead of a general request to minimise disruption. Ask the building team to resolve conflicting activities before the programme is priced.

Plan separation and protection

Have the contractor explain the proposed work-zone controls, protection, cleaning and ventilation arrangements using the current product documentation. Building operations should confirm how those arrangements affect adjacent spaces and systems. Do not substitute a generic overnight allowance for an agreed site-specific plan.

Define the daily handover

Use a short handover record showing the completed area, outstanding work, protected surfaces and any restrictions still in effect. Identify who inspects the area and authorises reopening. Include a contingency for a phase that cannot be completed within the planned window.
