AI-generated illustrative design concept; not a completed CBD Projects project, approved drawing or technical compliance detail.
An approved layout can drift when furniture changes, a room moves or equipment is substituted during construction. In JLT, the project team should check the relevant approval process before treating those changes as site instructions. Searching for a “Concordia approved fit-out contractor” should lead to a check of current evidence and project responsibilities, not an assumption that every proposed change is already authorised.
Compare each proposed change with the current approved package, identify affected disciplines and ask the appointed approval team to confirm the required action. Maintain a clear record of what is proposed, submitted, accepted and issued for construction.
Establish the current baseline
Collect the approved drawings, conditions and current project reference in one controlled location. Check that the site team is working from the same revision. A drawing marked latest in an email is not enough if it differs from the accepted package. Connect the baseline to the wider JLT office fit-out guide.
Describe the change precisely
Mark the affected area and explain the operational reason for the change. List possible interfaces such as partitions, services, doors and equipment. This initial review helps the responsible designers assess consequences; it should not be used by an unqualified person to decide that a change has no compliance effect.
Confirm the applicable submission route
Concordia’s public fit-out portal describes revised drawing approval for changes on active existing jobs. Ask the appointed team to check the current route and requirements for the specific job. Verify supporting information directly before submission; this article does not assert a new regulatory change or a universal fee or turnaround time.
Separate approval from commercial agreement
A client’s acceptance of a cost variation does not establish that authority or building approval is complete. Track those decisions independently. Use the variation-control guide for pricing and instruction records, while the approval register records the permission status and any conditions affecting execution.
Issue and close the revision
Once the responsible team confirms the change can proceed, issue coordinated drawings through the agreed process and withdraw superseded site copies. Verify the completed work against the accepted revision and update the final records. Keep the reason, approval reference and affected drawings traceable so later maintenance teams can understand what was actually delivered.
Frequently asked questions
Does contractor registration approve all project drawings?
No. Verify the contractor’s current status separately from project-specific approvals, conditions and changes.
Should as-built drawings be used to regularise an unreviewed change?
Do not assume they can. Refer the proposed change through the applicable review process before execution and maintain accurate final records afterward.
