Preparing a Commercial Property for Strip Out
A pre-start checklist for landlords, tenants and project managers preparing a commercial unit for strip out works.
Time spent in pre-start saves days on site. Whether you're handing back a lease, refurbishing a unit or preparing a building for redevelopment, a well-prepared property keeps the strip out crew productive from day one.
Isolations and disconnections
Power, gas, water and data should be isolated and certified before any tools come out. Coordinate with the building's M&E contractor and confirm in writing which services are live and which are dead.
Asbestos and hazardous materials
A refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey is a legal requirement before intrusive work in any pre-2000 building. Share the survey with your contractor before tender — it directly affects price, programme and method.
Access, welfare and protection
Confirm loading bay access, lift use, working hours, and protection requirements for retained finishes. Agreeing these up front avoids variation orders and keeps neighbouring tenants happy.
