When a commercial lease ends, restoring the property to its original condition can be complex, time-consuming, and costly — especially when multiple trades, deadlines, and compliance requirements are involved.
That’s where Make Good Solutions comes in. We’re a 100% New Zealand-owned business specialising in end-to-end commercial property restoration — helping tenants and property managers hand back spaces that meet every make good requirement, on time and without stress.
From warehouses and offices to retail and hospitality spaces, Make Good Solutions manages the entire end-of-lease process from start to finish — so you don’t have to. Our team coordinates every stage, beginning with a detailed inspection and scope of works, then overseeing de-fit, repairs, painting, reinstatement, and final compliance checks. We handle all contractor coordination, scheduling, and documentation, ensuring every element aligns with your lease obligations and handover requirements. The result is a seamless, fully managed service that saves you time, reduces stress, and guarantees your property is returned in perfect condition — ready for its next tenant.
The Rising Importance of Professional Make Good
In today’s commercial property market, expectations around handover quality have never been higher. Landlords want spaces returned in tenant-ready condition, while tenants need assurance they’re meeting every obligation under their lease agreement. Property managers, often caught between the two, are left balancing tight timelines, competing contractors, and the risk of costly disputes.
Professional make good services bridge that gap. Rather than coordinating multiple trades, managing schedules, and chasing paperwork, property managers can partner with a single, experienced team that handles the entire process — from the initial inspection through to final handover.
A One-Stop Approach That Saves Time and Stress
Make Good Solutions offers a fully managed service designed to simplify every stage of the lease exit process. The company’s core offering includes:
- Property Inspections & Scope Planning: A detailed assessment of the property’s current condition and the tenant’s obligations under the lease, ensuring the scope of works is clear, compliant, and tailored to the property.
- Project Management: Dedicated project managers oversee every aspect of the job — coordinating trades, managing timelines, and keeping all stakeholders informed.
- Make Good Works: From strip-outs and reinstatements to repairs, repainting, and cleaning, Make Good Solutions manages the full scope of works required to restore the property.
- Compliance & Documentation: Detailed reporting, photographic evidence, and quality assurance checks provide peace of mind for property managers and landlords alike.
This end-to-end model eliminates the inefficiency of managing multiple contractors and invoices. It’s one team, one timeline, and one outcome — a property restored to its original condition, ready for re-lease or handover.
Local Expertise, National Capability
Proudly 100% Kiwi-owned and operated, Make Good Solutions is based in both Auckland and Christchurch, with the capacity to service projects across New Zealand.
The business draws on decades of industry experience through its sister companies, Cemac Commercial Interiors and Dexion Auckland — two established names in commercial fit-outs and warehouse solutions. This shared expertise means clients benefit from deep knowledge across both construction and interior design, backed by robust project management systems and a network of trusted tradespeople.
Together, the group provides a unique full-cycle service: Make Good Solutions handles the move-out and restoration, while Cemac designs and fits out the new business premises. For property managers and tenants, this means one point of contact from exit to setup — a truly seamless transition.
For Property Managers: Why It Matters
For property managers, partnering with a trusted make good specialist offers real value:
- Less administration: One point of contact instead of juggling multiple contractors.
- Fewer disputes: Transparent scoping, documentation, and photographic evidence protect all parties.
- Time savings: Projects completed efficiently and on schedule.
- Peace of mind: The property is handed back in full compliance with lease terms.
In short, Make Good Solutions helps property managers focus on what they do best — managing relationships, not construction projects.
A Smarter, Simpler Way Forward
As the commercial property landscape evolves, so do tenant expectations and lease conditions. Make good requirements are becoming more comprehensive, timelines tighter, and compliance more important than ever.
By taking an integrated, end-to-end approach, Make Good Solutions is redefining what a make good partner can be — one that brings together project management expertise, construction capability, and a deep understanding of the property industry.
Whether you manage one property or a full portfolio, having the right partner makes all the difference when lease expiry rolls around.
