Commercial fit-out, designed to earn its keep

Commercial spaces have to work hard: seat the right number of people, move staff and customers easily, and open on time. We design and build offices, cafés, restaurants and shops, from the first layout to handover, with one project manager throughout.

What we fit out

  • Offices, from small studios to full floors.
  • Cafés and restaurants, including counters, seating and kitchen layouts.
  • Retail shops and showrooms, including shopfronts, display and lighting.
  • Clinics, studios and other service spaces, designed around how customers move through them.

Rules that shape every commercial job

  • The landlord's fit-out guidelines: contractors, hours, deposits and drawing submissions.
  • SCDF approval through a qualified person when fire safety works change.
  • BCA approval for structural changes, and URA's rules if the use of the space changes.
  • Business licences, such as SFA licences for food businesses.
  • We list which of these apply in the quotation, so there are no surprises later.
