What a bad reinstatement costs you
Holdover rent
Miss the lease end date and holdover rent and penalties start, often hundreds of dollars a day.
Withheld deposit
A commercial deposit can run into tens of thousands. Fail the building inspection and the landlord can hold it back.

Reinstatement Cost Singapore: 2026 Price Guide
Reinstatement cost in Singapore is usually quoted per square foot. Publicly published 2026 contractor guides put typical offices at about S$3–S$18 per sq ft, heavy or Grade A fit-outs at S$18–S$30+ per sq ft, and small offices or retail units under 500 sq ft from about S$3,000 as a lump sum. The final price depends on fit-out density, M&E works, building rules and the lease make-good clause.

Estimate your reinstatement cost
Enter your floor area for a rough range, then send it to us for a fixed, itemised price based on a free site assessment.
Quick estimate (example rates)
Indicative only, using the example ranges in the table above. Not a quote.
What affects reinstatement cost?
The biggest swing factor is the lease clause. “Bare shell” means removing ceilings, flooring and M&E back to the structure. “Original condition” may only mean removing your additions and repainting. Read the clause before comparing quotes.
Floor area
Most quotes start from a per-sq-ft rate; larger units get lower unit rates but higher totals.
Fit-out density
Glass partitions, feature walls, raised floors and built-in carpentry add hacking, labour and disposal.
M&E works
Electrical termination (LEW), data cabling, air-con, sprinklers and plumbing add licensed-trade costs.
Building rules
After-hours-only works, lift booking, protection, permits and works deposits raise labour cost.
Lease make-good clause
“Original condition” vs “bare shell” vs “fair wear and tear” changes the scope a lot.
Timeline
Rushed handovers need bigger crews or night shifts, which cost more.
Disposal
Debris volume and specialist waste such as grease traps or chemicals are charged separately.
What is usually included in a reinstatement quote?
- Dismantling partitions, ceilings, flooring and carpentry
- Electrical and data termination (LEW)
- Patching, plastering and repainting
- Disposal, cleaning, handover inspection
Often charged separately
- After-hours or weekend works
- Air-con, sprinkler or fire-alarm modifications (with licensed trades and approvals)
- Building works deposit and permits
- Rectification of pre-existing defects
How to lower your reinstatement cost
- Read the reinstatement clause six to nine months before lease expiry, scope the works about three months out, and appoint a contractor at least six weeks before handover.
- Ask the landlord in writing which items can stay.
- Get an itemised quote against the clause, not a lump sum.

Reinstatement FAQ
What does a reinstatement contractor do in Singapore?
A reinstatement contractor returns a rented unit to the condition stated in the lease, usually original or bare-shell condition, before handover. Work typically covers removing partitions, false ceilings, flooring and fixtures, terminating electrical and plumbing services through licensed workers, patching and repainting, disposal and a final inspection with the landlord or building management.
How much does reinstatement cost in Singapore?
Published 2026 price guides from Singapore contractors put office reinstatement roughly between S$3 and S$18 per sq ft for typical units, with heavy or Grade A fit-outs higher. These are example ranges. Your price depends on the site assessment.
How long does office reinstatement take?
A typical office runs: a free on-site assessment and fixed-scope plan in week 1, in-house strip-out and make-good in weeks 2 to 3, then landlord sign-off on handover day. Larger floors or after-hours-only buildings take longer.
What makes reinstatement more expensive?
Heavy partitions and glass, raised floors, extensive M&E and air-conditioning works, after-hours-only building rules, tight deadlines, specialist disposal and rectification after a failed inspection.
Do I need building management approval before reinstatement works?
Usually yes. Most commercial buildings and industrial estates require a works application, deposit, insurance documents and approved working hours before any hacking or noisy works start.
Who handles electrical termination during reinstatement?
Electrical disconnection and termination should be carried out or endorsed by a Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW). Our operating company is LEW and GB2 licensed.
Is a site visit needed for an accurate quote?
Yes. A free on-site assessment against the lease make-good clause and the landlord's handover checklist is the only way to produce a fixed, itemised quote. We arrange it within 24 hours of your WhatsApp.
Can I negotiate reinstatement with my landlord?
Sometimes. Landlords may accept a cash settlement or let fixtures stay that the next tenant wants. Get the agreement in writing. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is GST included in reinstatement quotes?
Check each quote. GST-registered contractors must add 9% GST, so compare quotes on the same basis.
When should I start planning an office reinstatement?
Read the reinstatement clause around six to nine months before lease expiry, get the unit assessed and scoped about three months out, and appoint a contractor at least six weeks before handover. Building management approvals can add time before any work begins.
Do you subcontract reinstatement works?
No. Our operating company runs strip-out, M&E disconnection and making good with its own in-house crews, so one contractor owns the schedule from assessment to landlord sign-off.
Which types of commercial premises do you reinstate?
Offices, retail shops, F&B outlets, and industrial units such as warehouses and factories. We do commercial reinstatement only.
Which areas of Singapore do you cover?
Island-wide, including CBD (incl. Raffles Place and Collyer Quay), Jurong, Tampines, Woodlands, Paya Lebar, Changi / Loyang.
