Commercial fit-out planning in Singapore

Commercial reinstatement works for end-of-lease handover

Reinstatement is defined by the lease and the landlord handover requirement, not by a generic demolition list. The current fit-out, original condition records and landlord instructions should be compared before removals, service disconnections and making-good work are priced.

What to confirm before work starts

The final scope depends on the unit, approved layout, building rules, existing services and the responsibilities stated in the quotation.

Practical planning and work sequence

Frequently asked questions

What determines the reinstatement scope?

The lease clause, landlord handover standard, approved fit-out changes, original-condition records and current site condition determine the scope. A generic checklist is not enough.

Can existing fixtures or finishes be left in place?

Only where the landlord or agreed handover requirement allows it. Retained items should be confirmed in writing before removals and making-good work begin.

What affects reinstatement pricing?

Key factors include the extent of removals, M&E disconnections, surface repairs, access hours, protection, waste handling, inspection requirements and the remaining time before handover.
