FIT-OUTS

Fitouts run on a deadline that isn't negotiable — a lease start date, an opening date, a rent-free period that ends whether the fitout is finished or not. We build the entire program around that date rather than treating it as an aspiration, which means procurement, trade sequencing and base building coordination all get locked in early instead of being figured out as we go. Where a tenancy is opening inside a live retail or commercial environment, we schedule noisy and disruptive work after hours so neighbouring tenancies keep trading normally. Coordinating with landlords and base building requirements is often where fitout programs actually slip, so we manage that relationship directly rather than leaving it as something the tenant has to chase separately. One project lead runs every trade to the fixed handover date, which means if something threatens the program, you hear about it — and the plan to fix it — immediately, not after the date's already been missed. We also manage the compliance sign-off that actually lets you open — fire safety certification, occupation certificates and any base-building sign-offs required by the landlord — because a beautifully finished fitout that isn't legally ready to trade is still a missed opening date.
