Commercial Space Fit-out
An office fit-out refers to the process of designing and organizing a commercial space, such as an office, to meet the specific needs of a business. This includes the installation of partition walls, flooring, lighting, electrical and data systems, and other architectural elements.
It also includes the selection and installation of furniture, equipment and accessories. The office fit-out process can be done to new spaces or existing spaces, it can be simple or complex, and it can be a full renovation or a partial renovation. The goal of an office fit-out is to create a functional and visually appealing space that is tailored to the specific needs of the business and its employees.
The following will typically describe the base or current interior fit-out:
Shell & Core
It is a basic, simple building with walls, cladding, a base plant, and bathrooms.
Cat A Fit-Out
Raised floors and suspended ceilings, the distribution of MEP services, and internal surface treatments often make up a category A fit-out. In essence, it is a completely functional yet empty room.
Cat B Fit-Out
The majority of the time, this area will come equipped with completely functional kitchens and other facilities, as well as partitioning, fixtures, ceiling design, floor and wall finishes, a staircase installation, and sometimes even furnishings.
The extent of construction work to be carried out by the interior fit out contractor and the bill of quantities (BOQ)
will ultimately depend on the level of fit out present in the client's space.
Important Phases to Build the Overall Construction Process
1. Authority Approvals
Obtaining the necessary building permits from the relevant local authority departments is a requirement before any construction project can start.
2. The site mobilization
This step includes the detailed planning and execution required for the transportation of workers, tools, supplies, and daily expenses to the project site.
3. Demolition Works
Demolition is the process of tearing down a structure that already exists but isn't necessary for the new interior fit-out. This can involve removing any existing mechanical, electrical, and interior fit-out work in addition to joinery, etc.
4. Civil and MEP works
Installation of any civil and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) works comes next.
The space's shape, structure, and aesthetics are provided by the civil works, whilst the MEP works bring in the facilities for services like air conditioning, power and lighting, water supply and drainage, fire-fighting systems, building management systems, and telephone and data systems.
5. Ceiling Design
The most popular ceiling types are exposed or suspended, which are more of a design aspect than a structural element. They are also useful for adding accessories like speakers, lighting, smoke and fire detectors, and automatic sprinklers.
6. Final Details
This is the actual aesthetic design fit out phase, and it must comply completely to the approved detailed design. It can include adding flooring, partitioning space, painting, branding, and more.
7. Joinery
The construction of wooden fit out components is known as joinery. Additionally, to handmade furniture, staircases, doors, window frames, and skirtings, this can be exposed wooden portions of the structure that require a more skilled hand and a finer finish.
8. Performance Certificates
The completion certificate attests to the fact that the project was built in accordance with all necessary building standards and local regulations.
One aspect of the market that cannot be underestimated is having the best interior fit out.
