How We Support

Construction Safety & Protection Planning Services

Site Safety Plans (SSPs)+

Common Project Types

  • New Building Construction
  • Major Alterations
  • Building Enlargements
  • Full or Partial Demolition
  • Facade Restoration Projects
  • Certain Low-Rise Construction Projects

Overview

Site Safety Plans establish project-specific safety and protection measures for construction operations, public protection, site logistics, access requirements, and overall compliance coordination. Plans should reflect actual field conditions, construction sequencing, and project-specific challenges.

Tenant Protection Plans (TPPs)+

Common Project Types

  • Buildings containing one or more occupied dwelling units
  • Mixed-use buildings with occupied residential units
  • Residential alteration projects
  • Commercial work performed within buildings containing occupied residential units
  • Occupied multifamily buildings undergoing construction

Overview

Tenant Protection Plans help address occupant safety, egress, fire safety, noise, dust control, essential services, and construction coordination when work is performed in a building containing one or more occupied dwelling units. Even when construction activities occur within a commercial space, a Tenant Protection Plan may still be required if the building contains occupied residential units.

Occupant Protection Plans (OPPs)+

Common Project Types

  • Occupied commercial buildings
  • Office fit-outs and renovations
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Educational facilities
  • Mixed-use buildings with occupied non-residential spaces

Overview

Occupant Protection Plans help address safety, access, egress, and operational concerns when construction activities occur within occupied commercial, institutional, or mixed-use facilities.

Maintenance & Protection of Traffic Plans (MPTs)+

Common Project Types

  • Projects requiring sidewalk occupancy
  • Projects requiring street occupancy
  • Temporary pedestrian routing
  • Construction activities affecting public right-of-way
  • Material handling and construction logistics operations

Overview

MPT Plans support the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles when construction activities affect sidewalks, streets, curb lanes, loading areas, or public access routes. These plans help coordinate construction operations with public safety and agency requirements.

Adjoining Property Protection Planning+

Common Project Types

  • Excavation projects
  • Facade restoration projects
  • Demolition projects
  • New building construction
  • Projects affecting neighboring properties or shared access areas

Overview

Adjoining Property Protection Planning helps identify neighboring property concerns, protection requirements, access needs, and potential construction impacts early in the planning process. Early coordination can help reduce project delays, support discussions with neighboring property owners, and improve overall project readiness before construction begins.

Pre-Fire Plans+

Common Project Types

  • High-rise construction projects
  • Demolition projects
  • Major alteration projects
  • Large-scale construction operations
  • Projects requiring fire safety coordination during construction

Overview

Pre-Fire Plans support fire safety coordination during construction activities by addressing emergency access, construction phasing, temporary conditions, fire protection systems, and emergency response considerations.

Common Challenges

Late identification of compliance requirements resulting in permit delays, redesign efforts, or schedule impacts.
Coordination challenges between owners, contractors, consultants, and property management teams.
Construction sequencing conflicts affecting logistics, access, and protection measures.
Adjoining property concerns, access limitations, and neighboring property coordination.
Unclear responsibilities or compliance obligations affecting project readiness and construction progress.

How Kaya Compliance Helps

Kaya Compliance reviews site conditions, anticipated construction activities, occupied building needs, access constraints, and agency requirements to help project teams develop protection strategies that are practical, coordinated, and aligned with construction operations.

Why early involvement matters

Early involvement can help identify protection obligations, access limitations, right-of-way coordination needs, tenant or occupant concerns, and filing strategy issues before they become objections, redesigns, schedule impacts, or field disruptions.

Coordination Approach

Built around construction realities.

Effective protection planning begins with understanding how construction activities interact with occupied buildings, public areas, adjacent properties, access requirements, and project logistics. Our approach focuses on developing practical protection strategies that reflect actual site conditions and support construction operations.

01

Review Project Conditions

Review site logistics, occupancy conditions, construction activities, adjacent properties, public exposure, and agency requirements that may affect protection planning.
02

Identify Protection Requirements

Determine applicable safety measures, protection plans, agency requirements, and project-specific coordination needs based on actual site conditions.
03

Support Implementation

Coordinate with owners, contractors, design professionals, and agencies to help support compliance throughout construction.
