Hypothetical example / San Luis Obispo
Small café tenant improvement
Imagine a café tenant improvement with new lighting and a water heater. Ask which forms apply. Cafés often add new lighting, a water heater and possibly refrigeration. Provide a lighting fixture schedule with controls, specify the water heater, and confirm whether HVAC changes are involved. Ask which nonresidential forms apply to each scope, and coordinate with the landlord on any base building systems. If a hand sink or dishwasher adds hot water demand, mention it so the water heater specification reflects realistic use and documentation stays consistent.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
