Sustainable Stripout
Every year, more than 50,000 tonnes of office stripout waste — from ceiling tiles and carpet to glass and joinery — ends up in landfill. We’re committed to changing that. At Agero, sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into the way we work. Our in-house stripout team takes a considered, methodical approach to recovering and repurposing materials. Furniture is donated or resold. Fixtures and fittings are salvaged. And where reuse isn’t possible, we prioritise recycling
through responsible channels. The result? Over 70% of materials diverted from landfill — supporting your ESG goals and contributing to Green Star credits through the Green Building Council of Australia.
The Agero team make clean exits simple. From demolition and disconnection to patching, painting and removal, we manage every aspect of your make good — so your team doesn’t have to. We liaise directly with
landlords and agents, interpret lease obligations, and ensure every detail is delivered to brief. Whether you’re vacating a 200sqm tenancy or a multi-floor commercial space, we bring structure, pace and precision to the process. With one project lead, a trusted trade network, and safety-first site coordination, we deliver with minimal disruption — and maximum accountability. It’s make good that’s efficient, transparent, and refreshingly calm.

FAQ
What does a make good or stripout project involve?
A make good typically includes removing partitions, fixtures, and furniture, repairing walls and floors, repainting, and returning the premises to its original condition as per the lease agreement. A stripout may also involve demolition and removal of services to prepare the space for a new fitout.
Should I settle my make good with the landlord or do it myself?
It depends on your circumstances. Settling (paying your landlord to handle it) may be simpler but is often more expensive, as landlords typically apply a premium for managing the works. Doing it yourself through a specialist contractor gives you more cost control and allows you to ensure the work meets lease requirements — often saving money and avoiding disputes.
How long before leaving should I start planning a make good?
It’s best to start planning 3–6 months before your lease ends. This allows enough time to review your lease obligations, coordinate with your landlord, obtain quotes, and complete the work without rushing — avoiding penalties for late handover.
How much does a make good or stripout cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the premises, the lease requirements, and the level of restoration needed. Early site inspections and reviewing your lease agreement help determine an accurate budget.
