Commercial Strip Out in Burleigh Heads & Southern Beaches

A commercial strip out is the complete internal demolition of a commercial space, stripping every non-structural wall, ceiling, floor covering, shopfitting and service back to a bare, blank shell. Strip It Out delivers commercial strip outs and defits across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for offices, retail tenancies, hospitality venues and medical suites, handing you a clean canvas for the next fitout or a compliant make-good for handover.

Part of our broader internal strip out and demolition services — see the hub page for the Queensland regulatory framework, process, cost factors and contractor vetting checklist.

Our scope covers the full interior: non-structural walls and partitions, suspended ceilings and grid systems, carpet, vinyl and tiled flooring, joinery and shopfittings, signage, and redundant lighting, plumbing and electrical fixtures. We work to whatever the project or lease demands, from a light defit through to a full strip back to base building, and every job begins with a fixed-scope written quote. Where the slab needs it afterwards, we grind the floor ready for new coverings, and all demolition waste and debris is removed and disposed of responsibly.

What affects the cost of a commercial strip out

No two commercial strip outs are priced the same. The factors that move the quote most are:

• The floor area and ceiling height of the tenancy
• How much is being removed: a light defit versus a full strip to base building
• Building access, lift availability, and whether after-hours or weekend work is needed
• The volume of waste and whether any hazardous materials are present

We provide a clear, itemised quote up front so you can budget with confidence, with no variations sprung mid-job.

How long a commercial strip out takes

A small office or retail strip out is often completed in one to three days. Larger tenancies, multi-level fitouts and full base-building strips take longer and are usually staged around your handover date or the incoming fitout team's program. We schedule tightly, including nights and weekends, so the strip out never holds up a lease deadline.

We handle commercial strip outs across every sector: office strip outs and partition removal, retail and shopfront defits, cafes, restaurants and bars, and medical, dental and professional suites. For end-of-lease make-good work, our dedicated shop and office defit service returns a tenancy to its required condition, while large sites are covered by our warehouse and industrial strip out service.

As a fully licensed and insured, family-owned team operating for more than seven years, we work to Queensland workplace health, safety and environmental standards on every site. From a single Gold Coast office to a multi-tenancy Brisbane building, we deliver a tidy, trade-ready handover on time and on budget. Call Strip It Out for a free, fixed-scope quote.

What Affects the Cost of a Commercial Strip Out?

Commercial defit and strip out pricing is scoped line-by-line against your make-good clause or fit-out plan. The main cost drivers:

• Floor area and fit-out density - partitions, ceilings, joinery and services all add scope.
• Make-good requirements - returning to base building condition costs more than a partial defit; we scope directly off your lease clause.
• Building access and hours - centre management rules, after-hours work windows, lift access and loading dock logistics all affect labour planning.
• Services isolation - electrical, mechanical, fire and data must be isolated and certified before works.
• Waste streams - sorted recycling of metals, plasterboard and timber keeps disposal costs down; we provide waste dockets for handover.
• Program - compressed timelines needing night or weekend crews price differently to standard hours.

Strip Out Services in Burleigh Heads & Southern Beaches

Burleigh Heads has become one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after addresses, and that desirability drives a constant renovation and fit-out market. Strip It Out services Burleigh and the southern beaches throughout — Burleigh Heads, Burleigh Waters, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Currumbin Waters, Elanora and Tallebudgera.

A renovation hotspot

Burleigh and Palm Beach in particular have gone through a dramatic transformation. Older beach houses, modest brick homes and dated walk-up units are being renovated and reimagined street by street as the area gentrifies. That makes careful, dust-controlled strip-out work — bathroom and kitchen demolition, tile removal, flooring removal and non-structural wall removal to open these homes up — some of our most regular work in the region. These are high-value properties, and homeowners expect a respectful, tidy, low-dust job; that is exactly how we work.

Beachside hospitality

Burleigh's James Street precinct and the Palm Beach and Currumbin strips have become one of the Gold Coast's busiest cafe, restaurant and boutique scenes. Hospitality and retail tenancies in a precinct like this turn over regularly, generating commercial strip-out and defit work — clearing a venue cleanly and on schedule for the next operator. We scope to the lease and work after hours where a trading strip requires it.

Being only a short run south of our Gold Coast base, Burleigh and the southern beaches get fast quotes and prompt scheduling. We provide free, fixed-scope written quotes for all residential and commercial strip-out work across the area.
