What is a commercial fitout?

It refers to the process of making interior spaces suitable for occupation.

At PGDC, we help transform the interior of commercial buildings, such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and other business spaces, to meet your specific needs.

This process can involve everything from the installation of floors, walls, and ceilings to the incorporation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment tailored to the business’s operations, brand identity, and employee requirements.

There are generally three levels:

➜ Shell and Core: This involves the completion of the building’s basic structure, including common areas such as lobbies and restrooms, but leaves the individual tenant spaces as empty shells.

➜ Category A (Cat A): This level includes basic finishes to the tenant spaces, such as raised floors, suspended ceilings, and basic mechanical and electrical services. It provides a blank canvas for tenants to complete their bespoke fit-out.

➜ Category B (Cat B): This is a more comprehensive project, customising the space to the tenant’s specific requirements. It includes the installation of offices, meeting rooms, branded elements, specialised lighting, IT infrastructure, and any specific amenities needed by the business.

Our commercial projects aim to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment that supports your operations and objectives, enhances employee well-being and productivity, and attracts and retains customers.

It’s a critical process for businesses looking to establish a new location, upgrade their existing premises, or rebrand their physical space to align with their corporate identity.

Commercial fitouts

Signs your commercial space would benefit from an updated floor plan

If you recognise your business or commercial setting in the challenges below, a fitout may be right for you:

“I’m dealing with insufficient space that’s preventing growth” – If your current space feels cramped or your team is outgrowing the workspace, this type of project can optimise the use of space and accommodate future growth.

“My brand isn’t represented the way I want” – An outdated or misaligned environment might not accurately reflect your brand’s identity or values. A fresh fitout can ensure your space represents your brand effectively to both employees and clients.

“I’m struggling to increase productivity and morale” – A decline in employee productivity or morale often indicates that the current workspace is not meeting their needs. A well-designed fitout can address these issues by creating a more functional and enjoyable work environment.

“I have safety and compliance concerns” – If your space doesn’t comply with the latest health and safety regulations, a fitout can help ensure that your workplace meets all legal requirements, protecting both your business and your employees.

“I need to meet my changing technology and infrastructure needs” – As businesses evolve, so do their technological and infrastructure requirements. If your current space cannot support new technology or operational needs, this type of project can provide the necessary updates.

How long do commercial fitouts take to complete?

The duration can vary significantly depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

Here’s a general timeline:

  1. Small to Medium Fitouts: For smaller spaces requiring minimal structural changes and basic fitout works, the project might take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to complete.
  2. Medium to Large Fitouts: For larger spaces that require more extensive work, including moderate structural changes and custom design elements, the timeline could extend from 8 to 12 weeks.
  3. Large and Complex Fitouts: For very large spaces or projects that involve significant structural modifications, high-end customisations, and complex design requirements, the project could take 12 weeks or more, potentially up to 6 months.

It’s important to consider that these timelines are estimates and can be influenced by various factors, including:

  • Design Phase: The time it takes to finalise the design and layout, including revisions and approvals.
  • Permits and Approvals: The duration of obtaining necessary permits and approvals from local authorities can vary.
  • Supply Chain: Availability of materials and lead times for custom elements can impact the schedule.
  • Construction Complexity: The complexity of the construction work and the extent of changes being made.

At PGDC, we work efficiently to ensure the timely completion of your project while maintaining high-quality standards.

How can I identify a professional commercial fitout company?

✓  Quality of Design and Finishes: Professional companies stand out through their attention to detail, high-quality materials, and superior finishes. The design should be cohesive, functional, and tailored to the business’s specific needs and brand identity.

✓  Compliance with Standards and Regulations: A professional outfit ensures all work is compliant with local building codes, health and safety regulations, and environmental standards. This includes obtaining the necessary permits and approvals for the work carried out.

✓  Experienced and Skilled Team: Look for companies with a team of experienced professionals, including designers, project managers, and tradespeople. A diverse skill set within the team is crucial for handling the various aspects of commercial projects.

✓  Portfolio of Completed Projects: A reputable company will have a portfolio showcasing a range of completed projects. Reviewing these projects can provide insights into the company’s capability, design aesthetic, and the quality of their workmanship.

✓  Client Testimonials and Reviews: Positive feedback from past clients is a strong indicator of professionalism and the ability to deliver satisfactory results. Look for testimonials and reviews to gauge the company’s reputation in the market.

✓  Effective Communication and Project Management: Professional companies prioritise clear and consistent communication with their clients. They should provide regular updates, be responsive to queries, and manage the project efficiently to meet deadlines and budget requirements.

✓  After-Service Support: After-service support, including warranty on the work performed and responsiveness to any post-completion issues, is a hallmark of professional service.
