Commercial Space Fit-Out Guide for Retail and Office Tenants in Nepal

What tenants should check before starting a retail or office fit-out — from landlord approvals to MEP capacity.

Confirm landlord approval scope

Clarify what structural, electrical and signage changes require separate landlord sign-off before design begins.

Verify existing MEP capacity

Check available electrical load and HVAC capacity before finalizing a fit-out design that may exceed base building systems.

Plan for fire and safety compliance

Retail and office fit-outs must meet occupancy-specific fire exit and extinguisher requirements under municipal codes.

Budget for base-building restoration

Many commercial leases require restoring the space to base condition at lease end — factor this into your fit-out budget.
