We can recommend cost-effective materials, simpler layouts and alternative finishes without compromising the functionality or quality of your workspace.

Several factors influence the overall cost of an office fit out, including the layout, existing building services, location, materials and level of design detail.
​
Open-plan layouts and reusing existing infrastructure can help reduce costs, while additional meeting rooms, custom joinery, specialised glazing, upgraded air-conditioning, plumbing and compliance requirements may increase the investment.
​
Site access and building restrictions can also affect construction costs, particularly in busy CBD locations where after-hours work or restricted delivery access may be required.
