Retail Strip Outs
Ultimo 2007

Retail defits in Ultimo run on lease deadlines. We strip shopfronts, fit-outs and services back to the make-good specification in the landlord's schedule — typically inside a week, often overnight to protect neighbouring trade. Work zones in Ultimo are booked weeks ahead with the City of Sydney because footpath occupancy is the scarcest resource on any project here.

For retail strip outs in Ultimo, the local starting point is dense education, media and warehouse-conversion buildings pressed against the Powerhouse precinct. That building stock determines what must be inspected, isolated or retained before our crew can deliver fast retail defits between tenancies, with make-good to landlord specification. Access is planned around a compact one-way grid shared with students and pedestrians all day, every day, rather than assumed from a standard machine-and-truck allowance.

Our Sydney Metro team scopes retail strip outs against the conditions found in Ultimo, including this local constraint: Work zones in Ultimo are booked weeks ahead with the City of Sydney because footpath occupancy is the scarcest resource on any project here. The service plan also follows the region's material pathway: load-outs are sequenced into night windows and hauled to recycling stations outside the CBD to keep laneways clear. This is recorded in the quote as a service-specific method, not added later as a generic local surcharge.
