I am working on a renovation project in New Jersey wherein the client is looking to renovate a portion of a building and convert another portion to shell space. The challenge is that the shell space has an opening to the floor above, which is occupiable space.
Several voices are debating if a physical boundary must be created to separate the "shell" from the "occupiable" space. One side insists that an imaginary line across the open air of the floor opening is all that is needed to designate the shell space while others wish to build a temporary wall around the opening to create a physical boundary until such time as the shell space gets fit-out and becomes occupiable again.
Any insight on this condition would be very welcome.
