What defines \'finished floor\', \'finished ceiling\'. Example - the project we are working on was a former warehouse space converted to offices. The existing concrete slab remains intact, but we have selected a Shaw-Eco carpet to be installed over the slab. Is the slab considered a retained area or not because we are putting a new finish over it? Example - we maintained existing interior block walls but furred them out and put a new finish on due to their condition. Is that calculated as a retained area since it was not demolished? Example - we maintained the open exposed ceiling but painted it white for daylighting and lighting benefits. Is this still considered retained area? Please provide explicit guidance on how to deal with these calculations.
