Define a retail strip-out around retained landlord assets

List display fittings, counters, stockroom partitions, signs, floor coverings and ceiling elements. Mark landlord-retained items and provide the approved layout or marked photographs. Confirm ownership and disposition of branded equipment, security systems and reusable fixtures.

Separate the sales floor from stockrooms, staff areas and service spaces where the required endpoint differs. A back room containing building equipment should not inherit the same “clear everything” instruction as an empty display area.

Ask the building representative and relevant trades to identify shared power, ventilation, fire protection and security connections. Their alteration or disconnection needs defined responsibility. Removing decorative fittings should not interfere with systems that serve neighbouring units or common areas.

Material records and approval information should cover the actual areas of disturbance. If the next tenant or landlord expects a particular floor or ceiling condition, obtain that requirement in writing. A stripped unit is not automatically ready for any new fit-out or use.

Give YAK the approved removal plan, access arrangements, loading restrictions and the person authorised to resolve site decisions. State whether the centre or neighbouring shops remain open. Keep lease interpretation and commercial obligations with the owner’s advisers; the demolition assessment needs the resulting physical scope and an accountable handover condition.
