Understanding make good obligations

No more, and no less, than your lease requires

Make good clauses typically require the outgoing tenant to restore the premises to a defined condition — usually base building (removing all fitout) or a lesser standard (e.g. “broom clean with services capped”). Before commencing any works, we recommend reviewing your lease with a commercial property solicitor — over-making-good can be as costly as under-delivering.

We can review your make-good clause alongside your fitout documentation and provide a scope of works and fixed price to deliver exactly what is required — no more, no less.

Strip Out & Make Good FAQ

Questions we're often asked

Your lease’s make-good clause specifies this. We recommend confirming the interpretation with your solicitor before committing to a scope. We are happy to attend a make-good meeting with you and the landlord’s representative to agree scope.

If asbestos-containing materials are identified or suspected, we engage a licensed asbestos assessor to conduct a survey and supervise removal by licensed asbestos removalists. We do not remove asbestos without a proper licensed process.

Yes — and this is often the most efficient approach. We sequence the works to minimise programme and share preliminaries between the strip and the new fitout.

Depending on fitout complexity and floor area, a commercial strip out typically takes 1–3 weeks. A large, complex fitout across multiple levels may take longer. We provide a timeline with our fixed-price strip-out proposal.
