Estimate timeframes and crew requirements for commercial interior defit projects.
* This assumes continuous work (after-hours if required by building management). Every site is different — get a precise assessment.
Commercial strip-outs require a surgical approach. Unlike structural demolition, a defit involves removing non-load-bearing elements—partitions, ceilings, floor coverings, and services—while protecting the base building structure and minimizing disruption to active tenancies.
The duration of a strip-out is heavily influenced by site access. A ground-floor retail space with a loading dock can be cleared rapidly. Conversely, a high-rise office defit relying on a single goods lift operating only after hours requires meticulous logistical orchestration.
This calculator provides an indicative timeframe for interior demolition. Complex fitouts containing dense masonry partitions, specialized server rooms, or heritage constraints will require additional time and engineering oversight.
