Explain what will happen inside
Describe the goods stored, activities performed, equipment installed, and areas used by staff or visitors. Include changes to an office area, mezzanine, storage layout, or utilities. Give the project team a factual outline rather than relying only on a building listing or the previous tenant’s business.
Check property use and the existing approvals
Gather the address, available zoning information, permit history, and occupancy records. Property-use approval and construction approval are related questions with different records. Orlando publishes a Certificate of Use process, and Orange County distinguishes use-permit situations from building-permit situations. Confirm which authority and process apply before treating the previous approval as approval for your new operation.
Make site and equipment questions visible
Provide a site plan or survey if you have one. Identify loading, parking, outdoor activity, and proposed equipment connections. Share storage or rack information and any plans for new structures. These details help the responsible professionals assess the actual scope; they do not establish a permit exemption or an approved capacity.
Keep one list of changes and missing documents
A facility project can involve drawings, trade information, review comments, and a sequence of inspections. Track which professional supplies each document and keep current revisions together. Tell us whether operations must continue during the work and whether a lease or production deadline affects the schedule.
Send us a useful starting package
Include the address, previous and proposed use, available floor/site plans, equipment descriptions, current permits, and target dates. We can propose permit and professional-team coordination. Technical evaluations, construction, and operational approvals remain separately defined responsibilities.
