The report room
Specimen plates from the report room
Bound examples of occupancy plates, arrears columns, and lease calendars — the paper the briefing is walked from.
The report room on Level 9 keeps bound specimens from commissions whose owners have allowed a redacted copy to stay. Names are struck. Unit numbers sometimes remain, because a plate without numbers is a poster.
Sit with a specimen before you decide the shape of your own report. Some owners discover they need a rent-roll reconstruction first; others see that a lease calendar is the only plate they actually wanted. That hour saves a fee spent on the wrong folio.
Specimens do not leave the desk. If you cannot come to Tsereteli Avenue, we can walk two or three plates during a video sitting, still from the bound copy in the room. Photographs of specimens are not sent by mail — once a plate is copied loosely, it stops being a specimen and becomes a rumour.
Ink, paper weight, and the double rule at the head of each plate follow the same house style you see on this site: newsprint, burnt margin, figures large enough to be read across a table. Charts are drawn as plates, not as glowing rectangles. The point is that a partner at the far end of the table can still see which floor is empty.
Occupancy by floor
Vacant units are left as paper. We do not tint emptiness to make the plate look busy.
The building as it stands
A photograph may sit opposite the occupancy plate so unit numbers can be pointed at without a site visit.
Common parts and costs
Contractor invoices, not averages from another courtyard. Missing bills are a labelled gap.
Keys and occupation
If the keys and the rent roll disagree, the reconstruction happens before the occupancy plate is inked.
Sit with a specimen before you commission
The Tbilisi desk keeps bound examples of occupancy plates, arrears columns, and lease calendars. Ask to see them when you write.
