Reinstatement Contractor Singapore: Compare Vetted Quotes

An independent resource that helps Singapore office and retail tenants understand end-of-lease reinstatement and compare vetted reinstatement contractors before their lease expires.

What reinstatement means for your lease

If your commercial lease has a reinstatement clause, you are on the hook to return the space to the landlord in its original or agreed bare condition before your lease ends, and the cost of that work is yours to carry, not the landlord's.

Most Singapore office, retail and F&B leases include this clause. It typically covers removing partitions, ceilings, flooring, signage and any fit-out you added, repainting walls, and making good any damage, all before the final handover inspection. Skip it or do it late, and a landlord can deduct the shortfall from your security deposit or use its own contractor at your cost.

The two things that catch tenants out most are cost and timing. Reinstatement typically runs from a few thousand dollars for a small basic office to well over S$50,000 for a large fitted-out retail or F&B unit, and it needs to start 2 to 6 months before your lease actually ends, not after. Reinstatement SG helps you plan for both: see the real cost and timeline data below, read what your clause actually requires, and get quotes from contractors who work in this space every day.
