What Does a Strip-Out Contractor Do?

It begins before anyone swings a crowbar. If you’re wondering what does a strip-out contractor do at the start, it’s all about planning. They walk the site with you and the landlord’s brief in hand, comparing the current space to the “base build” you’re required to return. Every detail is documented—photos, dilapidation records, marked-up plans—so there’s no debate later about what was existing versus what your fit-out added. If permits or centre-management approvals are needed, they line those up too, including after-hours access, loading dock bookings, and waste room allocations.
