Define what ready means
Ask whether the premises are a warm shell, generic fitted office, plug-and-play workspace or previously occupied floor. Record furniture, rooms, cabling, active systems and exclusions.
A space can look finished while power, network, access control, statutory approvals or landlord works remain incomplete.
Check capacity against the team
Complete a measured test-fit and inventory audit. Validate seats, meeting rooms, collaboration, support areas, server or equipment rooms, accessibility, circulation and growth.
Inspect condition and useful life of furniture, lighting, flooring, ceilings, HVAC distribution, fire devices, pantry equipment and washrooms.
Test technology and building systems
Confirm electrical load, backup interface, cooling at actual density, fresh air, telecom carrier readiness, pathways, Wi-Fi design dependencies and equipment-room resilience.
Witness or review testing where operations are critical. Clarify which faults are landlord, seller, operator or tenant responsibility.
Approvals and handover
Request current occupancy, fire and other applicable approvals, approved fit-out drawings, as-built information, asset warranties and maintenance records.
Build a joint snag list with acceptance criteria and dates. Do not set the business move solely from a marketing possession date.
Commercial comparison
Clarify whether the fit-out is included in rent, sold, licensed or maintained by another party. Review deposits, lock-in, escalation, maintenance, parking, reinstatement and end-of-life obligations.
Compare faster occupancy value with customisation constraints, residual asset life and long-term cost. Million Minds Tech City availability must be confirmed unit by unit.
