When is a defit the right choice for a commercial space?
If you’re a business owner planning to move out of your current premises, your lease agreement will likely require you to restore the space to its original condition.
This process is necessary when you’ve installed custom fixtures, altered layouts, or made other modifications to the space.
You may need it if:
- You’re vacating a leased property and your agreement includes make-good obligations.
- You’ve completed a shop fit-out and need to remove partitions, furniture, or signage.
- You’re downsizing or relocating and the property needs to be restored for new tenants.
Essentially, if you’ve made any changes to the property during your tenancy, a commercial defit is crucial to avoid penalties or disputes when your lease ends.
How much does commercial defit cost?
The cost can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the space, the complexity of the work, and specific requirements outlined in your lease. Here’s a general guide to pricing ranges:

CHECKLIST: How to identify a professional commercial
defit team?
Choosing the right provider is key to ensuring a smooth, hassle-free process. Here are a few factors to consider when selecting a provider to ensure you’re working with a true professional:
- Experience and Expertise: Look for a company with proven experience, particularly in your specific industry or property type. An experienced provider will understand the complexities of defitting different spaces, from office buildings to retail stores, and ensure all work is done to meet your lease obligations.
- Comprehensive Services: A good company should offer a full range of services, including removal of fixtures, electrical disconnections, flooring removal, and make-good services. This ensures a streamlined process without the need for multiple contractors.
- Compliance and Safety Standards: Ensure the company follows all local regulations and safety standards. A professional provider will be up to date with Perth’s building codes and environmental requirements, giving you peace of mind that the job is done correctly and legally.
- Transparent Pricing: Choose a provider who offers clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. A trustworthy company will provide a detailed quote based on a site visit and scope of work, so you can make an informed decision without any surprises.
- Positive Reviews and Testimonials: Read reviews from previous clients or request testimonials. A professional defit company will have a track record of satisfied customers who can vouch for their quality of work and reliability.
