Frequently Asked Questions
What is a defit and make good?
A defit and make good is the process of removing tenant-installed fitout items and restoring a commercial space to the condition required under the lease when vacating a premises.
This typically includes removing partitions, ceilings, floor coverings, joinery and services installed during the tenancy, then completing repairs and reinstatement works so the space meets the landlord’s lease return conditions. The exact scope depends on what the lease requires and how the space was originally handed over.
Defit and make good works are usually carried out at the end of a commercial lease and are designed to support a smooth handover, reduce disputes, and allow the premises to be re-leased without delay.
What exactly is involved in make good works?
Make good works typically include removal of all tenant installations, repair of any damage, restoration of surfaces, and reinstatement of base building services. The exact scope depends on your lease requirements.
How long does a typical defit take?
Timeframes vary based on the size and complexity of the fitout. A standard office defit typically takes 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed schedules during consultation.
Do you handle all compliance requirements?
Yes, we manage all necessary permits, certifications, and compliance documentation. This includes council requirements, building management approvals, and waste disposal certificates.
Can work be done after hours?
Yes, we regularly work outside normal business hours to minimise disruption to other tenants. This is particularly important in multi-tenant buildings.
How do you ensure landlord approval?
We document all works thoroughly and conduct a detailed final inspection with the landlord or their representative to ensure all requirements are met to their satisfaction.
