Office Reinstatement in Singapore for Terrabit Networks
Office reinstatement returns a leased office to the condition the lease requires. Terrabit Networks had combined two adjoining units into a single 5,000 sqft office in Singapore. Offix dismantled more than twenty built partition rooms, restored the original flooring and reinstated the dividing wall — handing back two separate units in two weeks.
What happens when two offices were combined into one?
Terrabit Networks had taken two adjoining units and combined them into a single 5,000 sqft office. That is a sensible thing to do during a tenancy — and at lease end it means the reinstatement is not simply a strip-out. The floor has to go back to the landlord as two separate tenancies, because that is how it was leased.
Inside, the fit-out was dense: more than twenty built partition rooms, carpet laid across both units, and cabling run to every room. All of it had to come out, and every surface it was fixed to had to be made good.
The date was fixed by the tenancy agreement, not by the programme. That is what separates an office reinstatement from an ordinary clearance: there is no version of the schedule where the work runs long, because the lease expires whether the unit is ready or not.
What was included in the office reinstatement scope?
Only the works actually carried out on this office reinstatement. This is the list a landlord and a surveyor check against at inspection.
- Dismantling and removal of 20+ built partition rooms
- Dividing wall reinstated to return the floor to two units
- Carpet and adhesive lifted, original floor finish restored
- Ceiling grid and tiles made good
- Electrical and data cabling removed back to source
- Full repainting to base condition
- Coordination with building management for access, hoarding and disposal
- Debris disposal, final cleaning and handover preparation
From fitted office to handover condition
There is no styled “after” in an office reinstatement — the finished result is an empty unit. The proof is the same floor at three points: as found with the fit-out in place, during strip-out, and after making good, painting and final cleaning.
How do you split one office back into two?
The dividing wall is the item that makes this a reinstatement rather than a clearance. Returning the floor to two tenancies means rebuilding the wall on its original line, with each unit having its own entrance again, and having the result accepted — which is a conversation with the building management, not only a construction task.
Offix coordinated with building management throughout, so the reinstated layout matched the condition the units were leased in and so access, hoarding and disposal routes were agreed before work started rather than negotiated around it mid-programme.
Flooring was the other decision. The tenant had laid carpet across both units and the lease required the original finish back, so carpet and adhesive were lifted, the substrate cleaned and made good, and the original floor finish brought back across the whole floor. Walls were then repainted as whole surfaces rather than patched, so the finish reads as one plane instead of three shades. Where making good crosses into real building work it is sequenced like any renovation and construction package.
