PROJECT OVERVIEW

Large-Scale Warehouse Make Good & End-of-Lease Reinstatement in Knoxfield

  

Lawrence & Hanson engaged National Make Good Solutions (NMGS) to deliver a comprehensive end-of-lease make good and warehouse reinstatement project at their Knoxfield facility in Victoria.

With the lease coming to an end, the objective was to return the 15,878sqm site to a compliant handover condition in accordance with landlord requirements. The project involved extensive demolition, strip-out works, service removals, waste management, and make good reinstatement works, all while coordinating multiple specialist trades within a tight delivery timeframe.

NMGS provided a complete turnkey solution, ensuring the site was restored efficiently and ready for final handover without unnecessary delays or disruption.

THE CHALLENGE

Delivering a large-scale warehouse make good project within an active industrial environment presented several challenges.

Key project constraints included:

  • Working around staff who remained onsite during portions of the project
  • Tight end-of-lease handover deadlines
  • Coordination of multiple specialist trades across the facility
  • Managing demolition and reinstatement activities simultaneously
  • Maintaining safe access throughout works
  • Ensuring landlord make good requirements were achieved within the available timeframe

To overcome these challenges, NMGS implemented a staged delivery program supported by ongoing communication with the client and proactive project management.
