Landlords of commercial properties in Malaysia typically require tenants to reinstate back their property to the original condition as a precondition of the termination handover. This process involves various trades that will work together to restore the property fully to the landlord’s satisfaction. As we understand that the job is usually time-sensitive in nature, we are prepared to carry out reinstatement works swiftly to prevent any handover issues.

Process and Cost of Reinstatement Works

Our process normally starts off with a no-obligation site survey, where our managers will take time to understand the scope of works required before providing a formal quotation.
