Full Service Defits Adelaide
From strip-out to sign-offMost defit problems come from fragmented responsibility. A demolition contractor who stops at strip-out, a separate trade for patching, another for painting, and no single party accountable for the condition of the handback. At Build Eleven, we manage the full scope under one contract. We interpret the lease requirements, price the work accordingly, and carry the project through to a handback that satisfies your landlord’s standard. One point of contact from vacant possession to final inspection, with no gaps in between.

Frequently Asked Commercial Fit Out Questions
- Can you coordinate the defit with our landlord or building manager?
Absolutely. We are experienced in coordinating directly with landlords and building management to ensure the defit process adheres to all building compliance standards, access requirements, and approval conditions.
- What exactly does a commercial defit involve?
A standard defit involves the removal of non-structural elements, including partitions, fixtures, fittings, and associated services (such as data and electrical) that were installed during your tenancy. The goal is to clear the space to meet the handover specifications of your lease agreement.
- How soon can you start a defit project?
Because we operate with an efficient business model, we can often mobilise quickly to accommodate strict lease expiry timelines. We recommend contacting us as soon as you have your “make good” requirements from your landlord so we can assess the scope and provide a prompt quote.
