DEFITS, MAKE SAFE & MAKE GOOD

A Defit is the process of removing all fixtures and fittings from a Commercial, Industrial or Residential space and returning it to its original, empty state.

 

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL

For Commercial & Industrial, this can be necessary for several reasons, such as when a business is moving to a new premises or when the lease on a property is coming to an end.

 

RESIDENTIAL

For Residential Properties, this can be in preparation for an extension, make over, renovation, alterations, or repurposing the property for office space.

Strip out demolition is often required as part of a refit or refurbishment project, as it provides a blank canvas that can be tailored to the new tenant’s needs.

The defit process can be complex, time-consuming and dangerous, so it’s important to choose a contractor like BKM Australia to complete your Commercial, Industrial or Residential defit quickly, safely and efficiently.
