Professional defit and strip out services across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Experts in efficient removal of fixtures and fittings with minimal disruption.
When a commercial lease comes to an end, returning the premises to its original condition is often a legal requirement and that’s where professional commercial defit and strip out services come in. Whether you're a tenant vacating a retail shop, an office, a hospitality venue or a warehouse, or a landlord preparing the space for the next occupant, a well-managed defit is essential to avoid unnecessary costs, delays, or disputes.
A commercial defit, also known as a strip out or make good, involves the careful removal of all tenant-installed fixtures, fittings, and finishes. This may include removing partitions, ceilings, lighting, joinery, floor coverings, signage, air conditioning units, data cabling, and more. The goal is to return the space to a clean, compliant, and lease-specified condition, ready for handover or future fit-out.
Our experienced team serving the Gold Coast and Brisbane understands the tight timeframes and specific requirements that often come with commercial defits. We work with property managers, business owners, and real estate agents to deliver professional, cost-effective strip out solutions tailored to your needs. From small shopfronts to multi-storey offices and hospitality venues, we ensure all works are carried out safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with building codes and tenancy agreements.
If you’re looking for reliable, end-to-end commercial defit services on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane that take the stress out of the make good process, you’re in the right place.
A commercial defit, also known as a strip out or make good, is the process of removing all non-essential and tenant-installed elements from a leased commercial space. This is usually required at the end of a lease agreement to return the premises to its original or agreed-upon condition. Commercial defits can range from basic removals in small retail shops to complete structural strip outs in offices, restaurants, warehouses and medical suites.
Every lease is different, but most will include a clause requiring tenants to carry out a ‘make good’ on vacating the property. Failing to meet this obligation can lead to disputes or additional costs passed on by the landlord. Engaging professionals to manage the process ensures it’s done thoroughly, safely and in full compliance with the lease terms.
Each commercial strip out is tailored to the condition of the premises and the requirements of the lease, but typically includes:
We can also assist with project management, subcontractor coordination, site safety compliance and after-hours work where needed. Our goal is to minimise disruption and deliver a smooth handover process for all parties involved.
