Office reinstatement is the contractual obligation to restore leased premises to bare-shell or landlord-specified hand-over standards, including demolition of non-structural partitions, removing floor /ceiling finishes, ceiling grid re-alignment, MVAC, FS and P&D terminations certified by nominated contractors.

Current industry averages indicate HKD 250-450 per sqft for Grade A buildings and HKD 100-200 per sqft for Grade B premises, inclusive of builder’s work and mandated landlord-nominated services.

Key cost drivers include the replacement of ceiling panel systems, installation of new raised-floor panels, raised-floor leveling, night-shift labor at 1.5× base rate, and accelerated handover schedules necessitating parallel trade deployment.

A standard 5,000 sq ft Grade B office suite is typically completed in 4 to 5 weeks when adhering to standard working hours. However, Grade A offices, which are subject to specialized nomination protocols and enhanced specifications, generally require an extended timeline of 5 to 6 weeks to ensure compliance and quality.

Yes, an office reinstatement deposit is mandatory as required by all Building Management Offices (BMOs). The deposit amount varies, typically ranging from HKD 10,000 to HKD 50,000, depending on the specific building’s policy. The deposit is fully refundable (100%) upon successful completion of the reinstatement, subject to a satisfactory inspection and submission of the required FS251 and WR1 certificates.
