Office Fit Out & Refurbishment

What is an Office Fit Out & Refurbishment?

An office fit out or office refurbishment is the process of designing, renovating and installing a workplace to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of a business. We specialise in commercial interiors, transforming your work environment into an engaging space that promotes productivity. 

Our process begins with an initial consultation to thoroughly understand your requirements. Our designers translate this into realistic 3D renders, offering a tangible preview of your finished space. Then, it’s over to our fitters to bring those 3D designs to life. With full client involvement throughout, we offer a seamless journey to your perfect office.

What’s Included in an Office Fit Out?

Our end-to-end services cover all aspects of your project, with key services that include:

• Space Planning – Using real data about your business, our designers create a floor plan that maximises space and ensures efficiency. From workstations to meeting rooms, breakout areas to kitchens, we’ll calculate your office occupancy with your building size.
• Office Design – We bring your project to life with 3D office designs, floor layouts and moodboards. This vital step ensures clear communication and allows for amendments to avoid costly alterations later on. In these designs, we focus on aspects like space optimisation, branding and company identity.
• Partitioning & Ceilings – Leveraging our industry connections, we have access to quality materials that you won’t find with other contractors. Whether it’s a partitioning installation or a replacement ceiling, we only use the best products at the best value.
• Office Furniture – From desks to chairs, storage to acoustic art, we consider every detail of your office. Our focus on ergonomics creates a comfortable and supportive space for the work tasks unique to your team.
• Technology Integration – By integrating the latest tech advancements, such as IT systems and communication tools, throughout your interior fit out, you can keep pace with modern business demands.
• Office Lighting – Whether it’s brightening your workplace or optimising your energy expenditure, we’ll create a lighting plan to support your business values.
• Office Acoustics – We consider acoustics in all our projects. We’ll deliver a creative and practical solution to ensure we create a comfortable and productive environment to enhance your team’s capabilities.
• Meeting Rooms – Our designs map any meeting rooms, conference spaces or collaboration areas needed to encourage communication and make teamwork second nature.
• Compliance & Regulations – With a fully accredited team, we’ll ensure your office fit out adheres to your building codes, safety regulations and accessibility requirements.
• Sustainability – Not only do we have our own sustainability strategy, but we can also responsibly source materials and conduct practices that contribute to a greener planet.
• Dilapidations – We also offer a dilapidation service to address any wear, damage and compliance requirements that you may require.

Reception Areas

First impressions matter. As the first thing anyone sees, your reception area is incredibly important. We often recommend strong company branding and comfort for your receptionists to be able to quickly direct your visitors.

Breakout Areas

Breakout areas are informal spaces where employees can relax, socialise and even hold casual meetings if needed. They’re increasingly found located throughout the main office area.

Training Rooms

A training room is equipped for employee training sessions and workshops. They will include unique materials, audio-visual equipment and interactive tools to engage staff.

Focus Zones

These designated areas are designed for uninterrupted work. With the help of acoustic solutions, they’re often fitted with individual workstations for tasks that require concentration.

Hot Desking Areas

Hot desks are flexible workstations used by employees on a rotating basis. They’re dynamic and collaborative, catering to different types of employees at different, designated times.

Co-Working Space

This popular workplace is a shared space for different businesses. It’s flexible and collaborative to meet different needs and is popular with freelancers and remote workers.
