Running an apartment complex, a condo association or a portfolio of rented houses? The rules you face depend on how many units each building has. We schedule unit turns, corridors and whole-building jobs around residents and your turnover calendar.
Renters live in nearly half of Richardson's occupied homes (49.3%), and 35.7% of its housing units are in buildings with five or more units.
Multifamily projects
Corridors, laundry rooms and mechanical rooms
Corridors and laundry rooms stay in use until the day work starts. We set closure dates with your manager, mark the work area with signs and keep residents' routes clear.
Condominium buildings
For condo buildings, Texas treats the whole building as a facility, so a survey comes before renovation. The association owns the shared areas and each owner owns a unit, which means agreeing early on who orders the survey and who signs off.
Duplexes and fourplexes
Small buildings stay outside the state rules at up to four units. Federal rules still reach them if several belong to one owner, sit within 660 feet of each other and are renovated or torn down together, or if a demolition is part of a larger project.
Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the survey, the owner or the property manager?
The owner. For a public building the duty stays with the owner even when a manager runs the property; only the paperwork can be handed off, in writing, to a licensed contractor or consultant.
Do I have to tell contractors about asbestos?
In a public building, yes. The owner must tell anyone doing construction, maintenance or custodial work where the material is. Notices to tenants are a separate legal question, so ask a Texas attorney.
Mixed-use building? See commercial interior remodels or the homepage.
