FAQs on Office and Factory Reinstatement Works
What exactly does commercial reinstatement involve?
Reinstatement is the process of restoring a leased office, retail, or factory space back to its original bare-shell condition as stipulated in your tenancy agreement. This typically includes demolishing temporary partitions, removing added fixtures, hacking up custom flooring, restoring the original ceiling board layout, and reinstating standard electrical, plumbing, and fire safety (sprinkler) systems

Who is responsible for securing management and regulatory permits?
We conduct a pre-handover joint inspection with you to ensure every clause of the lease agreement is met. Because we strictly follow building management guidelines, we guarantee a successful handover. In the rare event that the landlord requests a touch-up during the official joint inspection, our team rectifies it immediately at no extra cost to you.
We handle everything. Our team manages the entire administrative process, including coordinating with your building’s property management, submitting necessary risk assessments, securing security deposits, and obtaining approvals from local regulatory bodies (such as FSSD/SCDF for fire safety modifications). You won't have to chase paperwork.
Most standard office or shop reinstatements take between 2 to 4 weeks. However, the exact timeline depends entirely on the square footage of the space and the complexity of the custom fit-outs that need to be removed. We recommend reaching out at least 4 to 6 weeks before your lease ends to allow ample time for site inspection, permitting, and execution.
While heavy hacking and demolition are highly disruptive, we can strategically phase the project. For businesses looking to transition smoothly, we can schedule high-noise or high-dust work during off-peak hours, weekends, or nights to minimize the impact on your remaining staff and day-to-day operations.
Reinstatement costs are generally calculated per square foot and are influenced by:
The total volume of built-in structures, partitions, and custom masonry to be demolished.
The complexity of restoring electrical wiring, MVAC (air conditioning), and fire sprinkler lines back to the original grid layout.
Building accessibility (e.g., restricted loading bay hours or lift constraints).
We provide transparent, itemized quotes upfront so you don't face unexpected variations at the end of the project.
