Office Strip Out, Defit & Make Good Services

We are Office Strip Out and Makegood Specialists, servicing the needs of Tenants and Landlords.

If you are relocating, DY Constructions Australia can retrofit your office to a ‘makegood’ standard in compliance with your lease agreement. Office strip outs and make good services deal with the obligation of a tenant to remove all redundant fixtures, fittings, installations and alterations carried out to a commercial office space, that are not required by the new tenant, or are required to be removed in the lease agreement.

We have extensive experience successfully delivering ‘makegood’ and office stripouts projects throughout Sydney for tenants, landlords and building owners. After the office stripout, there may be work required to bring the property back to a leasable status, such as repair and makegood services. DY Constructions Australia can complete all repair works, including removal of partitions, and repairs to ceilings, floors, walls and repainting, in preparation for the next tenant or landlord requirements. 

List of Makegood Services We Provide

This is a list of works that are often required in office stripout and defit projects. This list will vary according to the end of lease obligations and make good provisions of your lease, and also the conditions in the tenancy fit out guidelines that the landlord has provided for your building. The Make Good clause generally obliges the tenant to return the office to its original pre-lease condition, but will often include a list of specific repair and de fit tasks that have to be performed by the tenant.

We will meet with you onsite to discuss the details of your obligations, and then provide you with a detailed proposal for the works, which will include returning your office to the original base building layout, and the repair, makegood and repainting of lobbies, bathrooms, kitchens and perimeter walls. We will then co ordinate all the Make good works with your landlord, to ensure that the project is completed on time before your lease expires.
