Know the real cost before you sign.
A pre-commitment review of the premises, the lease heads of terms and the landlord's works obligations. We identify the construction, cost and delivery risks hiding in the fine print before you are locked in.
Who it suits
Owners and operators assessing a new premises — a first venue, a relocation, or a second site — who want an independent view of fitout cost and delivery risk before signing a lease.
When to engage us
Before you sign, or during the heads-of-terms stage. The earlier we review, the more leverage you still have to negotiate landlord contributions, make-good exposure and fitout cost allowances.
What we review / coordinate
- The lease heads of terms and any offer to lease
- Landlord works, base-building scope and make-good obligations
- Premises condition, services capacity and compliance triggers
- Indicative fitout scope and a realistic cost range
- Programme feasibility against rent-free and handover dates
Deliverables
- A short written review of cost and delivery risk
- An indicative fitout cost range for the premises
- A list of lease conditions to negotiate or clarify
- A recommended next step for design and approvals
Scope & boundaries
This is advice only — not a design, a builder's quote or a valuation. We do not provide legal advice; your solicitor reviews the lease. Where a more detailed cost plan is needed, we move into Fitout Feasibility & Cost Planning.
FAQ
Can you review a lease that's already signed? Yes. We can still identify cost and delivery risk, though your negotiating leverage is reduced.
Do you provide a builder's quote? No. We provide an indicative cost range based on the brief. A firm quote comes from contractors during tender.
