GLOSSARY
Conversion
A conversion is a change that turns space designed for one use into another, such as a garage into living space or a house into offices. In the records we hold the term covers the structural, envelope and system work the new use requires.
Detail
About Conversion
A conversion set shows the existing space, the proposed use and the changes needed to serve it, including egress, ventilation, plumbing and any new separation between uses. Scope is usually driven by how different the new use is, since a change of occupancy can add requirements that a like-for-like remodel does not. Conversion records commonly appear with change of use, garage and plumbing headings.
