Unit handover decisions
Reconcile old floor markings with a warehouse removal plan
- Unit handover decisions
Old rack lines, painted walkways and equipment outlines can help orient a walkthrough, but they are not current removal instructions. An incoming tenant may interpret them differently from the outgoing tenant. Use the agreed plan to identify what changes and treat historic markings as observations.
Establish a current reference
Choose existing columns, doors or other fixed references to locate the proposed scope. Label photographs to those references. If a painted line differs from the drawing, record the discrepancy rather than assuming one is more recent.
Separate markings from physical items
List racks, anchors, equipment bases and floor coatings independently. A request to clear a storage bay does not automatically include coating removal or specialist surface preparation. Confirm each item and the responsible contractor before making a blanket floor-ready promise.
Prepare the next-layout review
After the agreed removals, walk the area with the incoming tenant or designer and note what remains. Old markings may still need a separately scoped treatment. Do not apply a new layout as part of demolition unless that work has been expressly assigned.

- Are painted lines reliable dimensions?
- No. Use them as location clues only; the responsible designer or installer should establish the dimensions needed for the new layout.

Separate a removal mark from reinstatement
An old equipment outline may surround concrete that remains useful. Compare it with the reviewed new layout and any responsible professional's assessment. If a specified pad leaves, record the retained slab boundary and the contractor responsible for repair or new work. Repainting a line, removing a base and reinstating a floor are different instructions; a faded marking does not authorise any of them.
