Industrial return scopes need careful boundaries
A useful quote identifies what is tenant-installed, what belongs to the landlord and what needs specialist assessment before work starts.
Racking and storage systems
Dismantling tenant racking, platforms and storage structures, with floor fixings made good to the agreed condition.
Machinery bases and anchors
Removal planning for equipment plinths, anchors and penetrations after confirming the safe method and required slab finish.
Partitions and offices
Removal of tenant-built offices, cages, mezzanine interfaces or welfare areas where the lease requires reversal.
Power and services
Coordination of tenant electrical distribution, data, compressed-air or other service alterations with the appropriate specialists.
Floors and loading areas
Assessment and making-good of coatings, fixing points, damaged areas and loading-zone interfaces against the handover record.
Waste and documentation
Planned removal routes, disposal records where applicable, snagging and evidence of the final return condition.
From decommissioning to landlord handover
Inventory
Separate movable assets, tenant installations, landlord fixtures and anything requiring specialist decommissioning.
Scope
Match the lease and original condition record to a safe, itemised return specification.
Sequence
Coordinate asset removal, services isolation, dismantling and surface restoration in the right order.
Close out
Inspect, snag and document the premises before landlord sign-off and key return.
What to prepare before the survey
- Lease and make-good clause
- Original condition report
- Approved alteration drawings
- Electrical and services information
- Plant and racking removal plan
- Known floor or wall penetrations
- Access and operating restrictions
- Inspection and lease-end dates
Structural, regulated or specialist systems may require separate professional review. The site survey identifies those boundaries before pricing.
