What is make good and tenancy reinstatement
Make good and tenancy reinstatement is the work required to return a commercial tenancy to the condition required by the lease, landlord, or building. It often follows strip out or defit, and it is what determines whether handover is accepted smoothly or becomes a defects battle.
Keypoint Projects completes make good and tenancy reinstatement across Perth with clean finishing, clear scope, and program certainty.
When make good is required
Make good is commonly required when:
A tenant is exiting a commercial lease
A landlord has issued make good requirements
A dilapidations report lists items to rectify
A refurbishment needs the space returned to base building
A new tenant requires a clean reset condition
If you have a landlord scope or report, we can quote directly to it.
