A fit out is the process of making an interior space suitable for occupation. A 'hard' fit out includes items such as walls, joinery, appliances, flooring, data and electrical works, while a 'soft' fit out typically includes furniture and furnishings.

1. Once you have found your new space, our design studio will prepare preliminary layouts for you to consider.
2. When the layout and designs have been selected, we prepare a budget estimate on the cost of the project.
3. Upon budget approval, we complete the design into working drawings and tender the project for an actual price.
4. Once the client has approved the above, we then secure our sub-contractors and suppliers, finalise our program and execute on the project delivery.
5. When this turnkey process has been completed, a handover meeting is organised to go through your new space, and you are ready to move in!

A turnkey solution is a comprehensive type of project that is devised to encompass all aspects of a fit out, so when completed, the space is ready to use. This comprises everything from spatial planning and design, to project management and construction.

A turnkey fit out is a more superior option than the traditional method, where design and build are undertaken by separate companies.

The benefits of choosing a turnkey fit out typically include:

• Lower costs.
• Faster project completion.
• Better fit out quality.
• Easier communication.
• A more integrated and consistent fit out.

Yes, we often help our clients return their old spaces back to the original condition when they took possession.

Consents are needed for major works within a project.  Generally, alterations to plumbing; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); access and egress; the bathroom; and fire and sprinkler systems will require a building consent. A resource consent may be needed in instances such as when there is a new build or a building shell alteration.

We strive for a complete design to eliminate any variations between design and delivery. Should a variation to the confirmed design or finishes occur, we will seek costing and approval from our clients before continuing with the work.

It is possible, however, will be dependent on the current layout of the space and phasing of the project.
