& Make-good.

Lease ending? A defit strips a leased space back out; a make-good restores it to the condition your lease requires. DesignFit handles both, fully documented, so you hand the keys back clean, recover your bond and avoid a costly dispute with the landlord.

Hand the keys back clean

End-of-lease obligations catch a lot of businesses out. If the make-good isn't done properly, the landlord can hold your bond or bill you for works. We strip out, reinstate and restore the premises to the exact condition your lease specifies, and we document it, so there's a clear record and no argument.

As a registered building company we self-deliver the work under our own licence and insurance, which keeps the whole process accountable and compliant.

What defit and make-good covers

Removing partitions, joinery, fitout and services, patching and reinstating ceilings, walls and floors, restoring base-building condition, and disposing of materials responsibly.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a defit and make-good?
A defit is stripping a leased space back out at the end of a lease. Make-good is restoring it to the condition your lease requires. DesignFit handles both, fully documented, so you satisfy the landlord, recover your bond and avoid a dispute.
Why does make-good matter?
If the make-good isn't done to the lease standard, a landlord can withhold your bond or invoice you for the works. Getting it done properly and documented protects you financially.
How much does a defit cost in Perth?
It depends on the size of the space and the lease requirements. We provide a fixed-scope quote after inspecting the premises and reviewing your make-good clause.
Do you provide documentation for the landlord?
Yes. We document the works so there's a clear record that the premises were returned to the required condition.
