Premium Office Fitouts for Sydney Workspaces

Step 1: Planning

If you are thinking of leasing new office space, it’s important to plan your Sydney office fitout project well in advance, as usually there are many tasks that may need to be done before you move into your new office.

• These can include deciding whether to move or relocate to new Premises and negotiations with your existing landlord, an inspection of offices for lease, shortlisting of suitable premises, feasibility studies on the best offices and lease negotiations with your new landlord.
• Our office fitout builders consult with you regarding your needs and style preferences.
• We can inspect your chosen spaces, and offer advice as to the most appropriate fitout for your business.
• We can do test fit office layouts on some of the most appropriate offices, so you can see how your staff can fit into the suite, thereby making the decision easier on which office to lease.

Step 2: Designing

Once you have made the decision to relocate to a new office, we then start the design process by creating concept layouts for your new office, budget estimates on the fitout of your new premises, and detailed design and documentation for your project, and preparation of working plans, specifications, and schedules for your commercial office fitout.

• Then our interior designers and project managers, use their experience and in-depth knowledge of design principles, concepts, and best practices to create a project plan for your commercial office fitout.
• This project plan includes detailed drawings, and budgets for the supply and installation of all fixtures, fittings and equipment for your fitout.
• We make sure the plans comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), the Tenancy Fitout Guidelines for your building, and local authority requirements.

Step 3: Refining the Workplace Layout

Productivity is important in any successful business. Before starting the design phase of your fitout, you could ask your staff what is important for them in the workplace, what inspires them and helps them find satisfaction in the work they do in the office.

• This will give you the fitout information you need to base your decisions on, and it also helps your staff feel included and valued as part of your team. When staff knows that their opinions matter it will boost productivity levels in your office.
• Some people work better when they have privacy, and then they can concentrate better on their work. We have many ways of creating privacy for your staff in the fitout, including privacy screens for workstations, and soundproof private offices.
• When you get feedback from your staff, you may find some prefer electric sit-stand desks, and others prefer standard desks, we can then design the workstations to suit the specific needs of your staff.
• Some of your team may work better when they have an informal area away from their desk, where they can continue to work in different surroundings, as part of the fitout we can create colourful breakout areas that will suit these team members.
• Your team may regularly need to have team meetings where the discussions are confidential, we can create meeting rooms of various sizes to suit this purpose.
• Your sales team may need videoconferencing facilities where they can discuss details with clients, we can create zoom rooms, or telepresence rooms fitted out with appropriate furniture, custom joinery, soundproofing, and all necessary technology installed by our electrician.
• The above collaborative process will ensure you have all the correct work zones in place to satisfy the needs of your staff, and your office fitout will then be optimised for productivity.

Step 4: Approvals and Compliance

Generally, the Fitout process will require, coordination with the building’s nominated essential services contractors, council approval for the new building works, and the landlord approval process for the works as per the tenancy fitout guidelines.

• We Review all technical details in the Tenancy Fitout Guideline requirements for your building.
• We write the scope of works for the essential services subcontractors.
• We submit an architectural design package to your Building Manager for approval of your fitout.
• We organise as appropriate a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) for fitout works, including Construction Certificate (CC) and Occupation Certificate (OC).
• As required we organise all the consultants and reports that may be required for your fitout, including access consultant’s report, BCA compliance report, town

Step 5: Delivering the Fitout

We manage all aspects of your fitout works including.

• Provide you with a full scope of works for your fitout.
• We do a walk-through of the premises with you before the commencement of the works.
• Prepare a dilapidation report if required, on the state of the existing building.
• Submit a WHS (Work Health & Safety) site safety plan to your Building Manager.
• Arrange site inductions for all tradesmen, coordinated with the requirements of your Building Manager.
• We supply and install all required fitout works, including partitioning, doors, plumbing, tiling, ceilings, painting, and carpet.
• We supply and install all fixtures and fittings including, workstations, furniture, joinery, kitchens, and storage cupboards.
• All essential services include electrical, data, telephone, security, air conditioning, and fire protection.
• Quality Control: After each trade installation a detailed quality control checklist will be completed and inspected by our Project Manager to ensure the highest standards for your fitout.
• On Completion Day, our Project Manager will inspect the fitout with you to make sure you are fully satisfied in every aspect.
• Once the occupation certificate is gained for the new fitout, then the relocation of your staff to the new premises can be started.
