Typical retail reinstatement scope

Every shop is different. The written scope should distinguish the tenant’s additions from landlord-provided elements that must remain.

Removal of tenant branding, signboards, light boxes, decals and approved shopfront additions without damaging retained landlord elements.

Dismantling of counters, shelving, product displays, fitting rooms, storage units and tenant-installed partitions.

Removal or making-good of tenant finishes, patching fixing points and restoring the return specification stated by the landlord.

Isolation and removal of tenant lighting, sockets and wiring, with retained services left in the agreed handover state.

Planning around loading-bay bookings, hoarding, lift protection, after-hours work and debris-removal procedures.

Snagging, cleaning and a condition record prepared for the landlord or centre-management inspection.

Close the shop without missing the handover

Identify items to relocate, sell or dispose of before dismantling begins.

Match the lease and mall manual to access bookings, deposits, protection and work hours.

Sequence removals and making-good so retained landlord services are protected.

Snag the shop and record the return condition before the formal handover.

Do not assume “bare shell” means the same thing in every retail lease. Confirm the exact retained and removed elements in writing.

Send the outlet address, lease-end date, fit-out manual and current photos. MCSG will scope the required removals and landlord handover.
