Commercial Capability
Commercial & Office Make Good, Sydney
FRANCA FITOUTS manages make good works for outgoing commercial and office tenancies — removing the existing fitout and reinstating the space to the condition your lease requires, coordinated directly with your landlord or building management.
Most commercial leases require the tenant to return the space to base-building condition — or another condition set out in the lease — before handing back the keys. That's a make good: removing the fitout that was built for your business, repairing the base building, and reinstating services, so the space is ready for the landlord's next tenant.
FRANCA FITOUTS manages make good works as a standalone project, or coordinated alongside the fitout of your next premises — so the two run on one program instead of competing for time, trades and attention. See our office fitouts and commercial fitouts pages for the fitout side of the same move.

Common Questions
Commercial Make Good Sydney — FAQ
What is a make good in a commercial lease?
A make good is the work required to return a leased commercial tenancy to the condition set out in the lease — typically base-building condition — before handing it back to the landlord at the end of the lease. It usually involves removing the existing fitout, repairing walls, ceilings and floors, and reinstating services.
Can you carry out a make good and fit out our new premises at the same time?
Yes. FRANCA FITOUTS regularly coordinates a make good on an outgoing tenancy alongside the fitout of a tenant's new premises, managing both as one program so the two don't compete for the same trades or timeline.
How much does a commercial make good cost in Sydney?
Make good cost depends on the extent of the existing fitout, the condition required by the lease, and how much repair and reinstatement work is involved. FRANCA FITOUTS reviews the lease's make-good clause and the tenancy itself before providing a detailed quote.
How long does a make good take?
Timelines depend on the size of the tenancy and the extent of works required by the lease — a small suite reinstatement takes considerably less time than a full-floor make good. A defined program is provided once the scope has been confirmed against the lease.
Do you deal directly with our landlord or building management on a make good?
Yes. FRANCA FITOUTS coordinates access, timing and sign-off requirements directly with the landlord or building management, so the make good is completed and signed off to the standard the lease requires.
Is a make good only for offices, or does it apply to retail and other tenancies too?
Make good obligations apply to most commercial leases, not only offices. FRANCA FITOUTS carries out make good works for office, retail, hospitality and other commercial tenancies across the Eastern Suburbs and greater Sydney.
