Commercial Demolition & Strip Outs on the Sunshine Coast

Strip outs and make goods

At the end of a lease, the agreement usually says what must go back to base building condition. A strip out removes partitions, ceilings, floor coverings, joinery and services back to that point. Bring your lease clause and any plans to the first conversation, because a contractor can then price from the same document your landlord will check against.

Working around neighbours

Tenancies in shopping centres and strata buildings often limit noisy work to set hours, and loading dock access may need booking. Ask the centre or building manager for their contractor rules before you lock in a date.

Full building demolition

Larger jobs bring in more planning: a demolition plan, traffic control if the work is close to a road, and notifying the regulator for bigger structures. In Queensland, demolition licensing sits under work health and safety law rather than a QBCC licence class, so ask your contractor which licence applies to the job.

Asbestos in commercial buildings

Most workplaces built before the end of 1989 must hold an asbestos register. Ask for yours early. If there isn't one, arrange asbestos testing before the strip out begins.
