A basic fitout, which includes essential finishes and basic lighting, typically costs between $700 and $1,200 per square meter. For mid-range fitouts, featuring moderate customisation and higher quality materials, expenses range from $1,200 to $1,800 per square meter. High-end fitouts, which involve premium materials and advanced technology, can cost from $1,800 to $2,500 or more per square meter.

The duration of a commercial shop or office fitout project can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the space, the complexity of the design, and the extent of customisation required. Generally, a straightforward fitout for a small to medium-sized office can take between 6 to 12 weeks from the initial planning stages to project completion.

Initial Planning and Design (2-4 weeks):

This phase involves consultations with designers and architects, finalising the design, and obtaining necessary permits.

Construction and Fitout (4-8 weeks):

The actual construction and installation of fixtures, fittings, and services take place during this period. Larger or more complex projects may extend beyond this timeframe.

Final Touches and Handover (1-2 weeks):

Final inspections, installation of furniture, and any finishing touches are completed before the space is handed over for use.

Maintaining budgetary control is a key aspect of our project management process. Here’s how we ensure your renovation stays on budget:

1. Detailed Estimates: Before any work begins, we provide a comprehensive and detailed estimate. This includes a breakdown of all costs associated with labor, materials, permits, and any other expenses. By clearly outlining these costs upfront, we minimize the risk of unexpected expenses arising during the project.

2. Transparent Communication: We believe in maintaining open and transparent communication with our clients. Throughout the project, we provide regular updates on progress and any potential changes in costs. If any adjustments are needed, they are discussed and approved by you before any additional expenses are incurred.

3. Contingency Planning: Renovation projects can sometimes encounter unexpected issues. To account for this, we include a contingency budget in our initial estimate. This ensures that we are prepared for any unforeseen circumstances without exceeding the overall budget.

4. Efficient Project Management: Our experienced project managers oversee every aspect of the renovation. They ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget by closely monitoring timelines, resources, and expenditures. This proactive approach helps us avoid delays and cost overruns.

5. Quality Material Sourcing: We have established relationships with reputable suppliers, allowing us to source high-quality materials at competitive prices. This not only ensures the durability and aesthetic appeal of your renovation but also helps keep costs under control.

6. Detailed Contracts: Our contracts are detailed and clearly outline the scope of work, costs, and timelines. This clarity helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that all parties are on the same page regarding budget expectations.

7. Regular Progress Reviews: We conduct regular progress reviews and financial audits to track expenditures against the budget. This ongoing oversight allows us to identify and address any deviations promptly.

By implementing these strategies, we are able to manage and control project costs effectively, ensuring that your renovation is completed on time and within budget.

Whether you will need to close down your shop during the fitout process depends on several factors, including the extent of the work being done and the specific requirements of your business.

Extent of the Work:

For minor renovations or fitouts that do not significantly disrupt your daily operations, it might be possible to continue operating your business. However, more extensive fitouts, especially those involving structural changes, significant electrical work, or plumbing, may require temporary closure to ensure safety and efficiency.

Project Phasing:

We can often plan the project in phases to minimize disruption. For example, work can be scheduled during off-hours or sections of the shop can be cordoned off and completed in stages, allowing your business to remain partially open.

Health and Safety Regulations:

Compliance with health and safety regulations is paramount. If the fitout poses any risk to your customers or staff, a temporary closure might be necessary.

Client Preferences:

Some business owners prefer to close down to expedite the process and reopen with a completely refreshed look, minimizing the time customers experience disruptions.

Our team will work closely with you to develop a fitout plan that minimizes impact on your business operations.

We also offer a guarantee of $500 per day for any delays beyond the agreed project timeline, ensuring that your shop reopens as soon as possible
