🏢 Office Fit-outs That Work for Your Business
An office fit-out is not an interior design project with some construction attached. It is a construction project that needs to deliver a functional workspace on a fixed date so your team can move in and start working. The aesthetics matter, but they are secondary to the practical requirements of power and data distribution, acoustic performance, lighting quality, air conditioning capacity, and compliance with the Building Code of Australia. Get those wrong and no amount of feature walls and designer furniture will make the space work.
Innovare Builders delivers office fit-outs across Brisbane for businesses ranging from professional services firms and technology companies through to corporate tenants in major CBD buildings. We handle the full process from initial space planning through demolition of existing fit-out, base building works, construction, fit-out, furniture coordination, and handover. Our focus is on delivering the space on programme and on budget so the disruption to your business is as short as possible.
🗂️ Types of Office Fit-outs
Office fit-outs generally fall into three categories. A Category A fit-out, sometimes called a cold shell or base build fit-out, covers the basic services and finishes that make the space functional including ceiling grid, lighting, HVAC, fire services, and floor coverings. A Category B fit-out builds on that base to create the specific workspace layout including partitions, workstations, meeting rooms, kitchen and amenities, branding elements, and any specialised areas. A refurbishment updates an existing fit-out without starting from scratch.
We work across all three categories and can advise on which approach makes sense for your situation based on the existing condition of the space, your lease terms, and your budget.
🛠️ The Office Fit-out Process
We start with a site inspection of the existing space to assess the base building condition, services capacity, and any constraints that will affect the fit-out design. This is followed by a detailed scoping process where we work through the spatial requirements, technical specifications, and finish selections with you and your designer if you have one.
From there, we develop a fixed price proposal and a detailed construction programme. Most office fit-outs in Brisbane take between 6 and 16 weeks from commencement to handover depending on the size and complexity of the space. We coordinate all trades, manage building management access requirements, and schedule noisy or disruptive work outside core business hours where the building requires it.

💰 Office Fit-out Costs in Brisbane
Office fit-out costs in Brisbane vary depending on the scope and specification. Category A fit-outs typically range from $800 to $1,500 per square metre. Category B fit-outs range from $1,200 to $2,500 per square metre for a standard specification and can exceed $3,000 per square metre for premium specifications with high end finishes. Refurbishments vary widely depending on the extent of work.
These figures cover construction costs only and do not include furniture, IT infrastructure, or design fees. We provide a detailed estimate that breaks down every element so you can see where the cost sits and make informed decisions about specification adjustments if needed.
