The time it takes to deliver an office fit-out can vary depending on the scale of the project. During the pre-construction period, our dedicated team will devise a concise project programme of works to ensure that the fit-out meets practical completion on the proposed date.

The benefits of a well-designed office go beyond just aesthetics. A thoughtfully planned workspace adds real value – helping to attract and retain talent, offering a variety of spaces for different workstyles, and ensuring every square foot is used effectively. Our work with Yorkshire Building Society is a great example of this. Post-occupancy studies revealed a 152% increase in colleagues feeling that one-to-one collaboration is well supported, and a 159% increase in those saying the environment supports individual focused work – clear evidence of how design can directly enhance performance and experience.

An office redesign has the power to transform employee performance personally, professionally, and socially. By offering a range of work settings tailored to different tasks and workstyles, it can boost productivity, support wellbeing, and create a more engaging experience. Thoughtfully designed spaces that promote collaboration, provide choice, and build a sense of community, help turn the office into a place where people feel motivated, supported, and genuinely want to be. Our work with Manchester Metropolitan University demonstrates this with our studies showing 72% of staff feel they are able to focus on work in a comfortable, distraction-free manner, and 83% of stating they can now spontaneously socialise with colleagues.

We have extensive experience in refurbishing buildings whilst in occupation, ensuring your team can continue to work as normal with minimal disruption. We engage with key stakeholders within our client’s teams to identify occupancy levels and finalise a logistical plan that ensures complete segregation of the work force from occupied areas during the fit-out.

One size doesn’t fit all on fit-out projects. From project inception our cost control procedures ensure that our quotation is fully broken down and detailed with quantities and rates, providing you with comfort that your requirements have been met.

The cost of an office fit-out depends on the size and scope of the project, with larger spaces requiring more labour, materials, and time. The extent of mechanical and electrical work – such as HVAC, lighting, and power – also impacts the overall cost, as does the quality of finishes, furniture, and bespoke design features. We work closely with you to select each element in line with your budget, ensuring the final result delivers on quality, functionality, and design intent.

Put simply, a fit-out involves transforming a blank or shell space into a fully functional workplace tailored to your needs, including everything from layout to furniture to tech. A refurbishment, on the other hand, updates and improves an existing space, refreshing an existing look, enhancing functionality, or boosting sustainability, all without needing to start from scratch.
