  • Office Fitout Timelines

    Most commercial office fitouts take between 12–18 weeks end-to-end (including approvals and designs, plans etc.), while the build itself typically only takes between 4 and 6 weeks. This will vary based on the size of the office and project – whether it’s a new fitout, a strip-out and refit or just a renovation. Keep in mind, if you haven’t found an office space yet, it could take anywhere from 2–6 weeks to find a space and sign the lease.

  • Office Defit Timelines

    Defit timelines change depending on the size, location and work required. Typically, an office defit takes 1-2 weeks.

  • What Affects Office Fitout Timelines

    There are a lot of moving parts and details that go into fitting out your new office space. Some things that can extend your schedule are:

    • Finding your location and office space (if you haven’t already)
    • Not having sufficient services to the building (such as power, connectivity, etc)
    • The build requiring complex construction works
    • Unusual tech, specialty or unique requirements
    • Unknowns – issues discovered during the defit or strip out
    • Delays in the approval process

    “ The biggest challenge of a project is the unknowns – so it’s best to go in with an open and flexible mindset.” – Mick Moore, Total Fitouts Corporate Solutions Manager

  • Budgeting for commercial office fitouts

    Budgeting as accurately as possible will help the fitout process run smoothly. If proper budgeting isn’t done, you could find yourself hunting for more money in the middle of a project. Our shopfitters are here to ensure that your budget is as realistic as possible for the materials and design you’re after. They’ll also do their best to take into account and prepare you for any possible ‘surprises’ that may arise along the way.
