Commercial Make Good Specialists
Melbourne
We work with tenants, property managers and owners to restore commercial spaces to their original condition. One contractor. One quote. Every trade covered.
A make good is the work a tenant must complete at lease end to return a space to the condition set out in the lease. For offices that usually means removing partitions and fitout, capping services, and repairing floors, walls and ceilings. For warehouses it often means racking removal, floor restoration and line marking.
We inspect the site, review your lease obligations and give you a fixed price quote that covers every trade. A small office strip out can take 1 to 2 weeks and a large warehouse restoration 4 to 8 weeks, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to meet your handover date. Beyond lease end, we also deliver building remediation and commercial roofing. New to the process? Read our make good guide or see how a project runs from proposal to handover.

Roofing Solutions → Make Good, Strip Out or Defit: What's the Difference?
These terms get used interchangeably when quoting, which is how two quotes for the same tenancy end up far apart. Here is how we use them.
Make good
The obligation and the result
Returning the space to the condition your lease requires, including repairs and cleaning, with the landlord signing it off at handover.
Strip out
The removal work
Taking out partitions, ceilings, flooring, cabling and joinery. It is one stage of a make good, and it is also done before a refurbishment or new fitout.
Defit
Also written de-fit
Removing the tenant's fitout and equipment back to a shell. Often used to mean the same as strip out, so always check what a quote actually includes.
Strip out and defit are the work. A make good is the full job, including reinstatement and landlord sign off. Always ask contractors to quote against your lease, not a generic label.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a make good and when is it required?
A make good is the process of returning a commercial space to its original or agreed condition at lease end. Most commercial leases have a make good clause. It's triggered when you vacate—whether at lease end, early termination, or break clause.
How much does a make good cost in Melbourne?
It depends on size and scope. Office make goods typically run $100–$200 per square metre. Industrial spaces are often less. We quote after a site inspection—fixed price, no surprises.
How long does a make good take?
Small office strip-out: 1–2 weeks. Large warehouse restoration: 4–8 weeks. It depends on size, complexity and coordination with the landlord.
What areas of Melbourne do you service?
All of metropolitan Melbourne, including the CBD, Port Melbourne, Richmond and the inner suburbs, plus the south east industrial belt of Clayton, Mulgrave, Dandenong, Dandenong South, Hallam and Braeside, and outer growth corridors. We also work across Victoria.
What is building remediation and when is it needed?
Remediation is rectifying defects or damage—structural issues, water ingress, concrete spalling, cracking. It's needed when the problem affects the building's safety, integrity, or compliance.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. Free site inspection, lease review and detailed fixed-price quote. No obligation.
