Office soft strip and clearance in Perth.
Every office lease is different. Some handovers require furniture and partitions to be removed; others specify ceilings, flooring or repairs. We work from the lease make-good schedule, landlord instructions or builder’s drawings to define a clear scope.
In Perth CBD offices, the removal route can be just as important as the demolition itself. Lift bookings, loading areas, floor protection and building-approved hours need to be considered before the team arrives. Tell us what access is available so it can be allowed for in the quote.
Office clearance and soft strip are different scopes. Clearance may cover loose furniture and workstations, while a soft strip removes agreed fixed fit-out elements such as non-structural partitions, ceilings and finishes. Mark any furniture, cabling, doors and fittings that must stay so the removal boundaries are clear.
For a staged office refurbishment, identify the work zones, occupied areas and routes that must remain open. Provide building-management requirements and the isolation plan from the relevant trades. We can then assess the demolition, protection and waste-handling allowances for each agreed stage.
If the lease requires adhesive removal after the carpet comes up, include our floor removal and concrete grinding service in your enquiry.
What we can include
Your quote will identify the items included for your project. Depending on the scope, these may cover:
- Workstations, built-in joinery and agreed office furniture
- Non-structural office partitions and internal glazing
- Suspended ceilings and bulkheads identified for removal
- Carpet tiles, vinyl and other agreed floor finishes
- Agreed make-good items and removal of demolition waste
Office defit, soft strip or full make-good?
An office defit removes the agreed fit-out. A soft strip usually focuses on non-structural fittings and finishes. Make-good is the broader handover requirement and may also call for repairs, decoration or services work. Send the landlord’s schedule so we can identify what our quote covers and what needs another trade. Floor level, goods-lift capacity, waste handling and permitted hours all affect the price.
Read our Perth strip-out cost and quote-comparison guide for the allowances to check before booking.
Help us quote accurately
Send the lease make-good schedule or demolition drawings, office size, floor level and required handover date. Include building-management contacts and access requirements if available.
Painting, relamping, fire services, mechanical services, new floor finishes and landlord certification are not automatically part of a defit. Any included reinstatement work must be itemised in the quote.
Common questions
Does office clearance include IT equipment and confidential records?
Tell us which furniture and fittings need removal. Arrange confidential records, IT data and equipment for reuse with your own providers before demolition. Specialist recycling or disposal is not assumed to be included; any agreed waste handling is itemised in the quote.
What does office make-good mean?
It is the work required to return the premises to the condition set out in the lease or agreed with the landlord. The exact requirements need to be checked for your tenancy.
Can you quote a CBD office with no skip space?
Yes. Let us know the loading access, parking restrictions, lift dimensions and booking requirements so we can assess how waste will leave the building.
Should I send my lease or the demolition drawings?
The make-good schedule and marked-up drawings are the most useful starting point. If the documents disagree, the scope should be clarified before work is booked.
