Design and Construct FAQs
What is the difference between an office fit-out and a refurbishment?
A fit-out typically involves making a new, empty commercial space suitable for occupation, including installing partitions, flooring, lighting, and services. A refurbishment focuses on updating, renovating, or improving an existing office space, often to modernise aesthetics, improve functionality, or accommodate new working styles.
How long does a typical office fit-out or refurbishment project take in Sydney?
The timeline varies significantly based on the project's size, complexity, and the extent of statutory approvals required. A smaller refurbishment might take 6-8 weeks, while a large-scale, complex fit-out could range from 12-24 weeks or more from design to completion. We provide detailed timelines during our project planning phase.
What are the average costs for an office fit-out in Sydney?
As of Q1 2025, average office fit-out costs in Sydney for a moderate quality space are around $2,665 per square metre. However, costs can range from A$1,200 to over A$3,000 per square metre depending on the quality of finishes, level of customisation, technology integration, and overall complexity. We recommend budgeting an additional 10-15% for contingency.
Do I need council or building approvals for my office fit-out/refurbishment in Sydney?
Yes, most office fit-outs and significant refurbishments in Sydney will require statutory approvals. This could involve a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) for simpler projects or a Development Application (DA) and Construction Certificate (CC) for more complex changes. Landlord and building management approvals are also almost always required. Marshall Group Services expertly manages this entire process for you.
Can my business continue operating during the fit-out or refurbishment?
It depends on the scope of work. For minor refurbishments, staged works or after-hours work can sometimes allow your business to continue operating with minimal disruption. For extensive fit-outs or major structural changes, temporary relocation or a phased approach is often recommended for safety, efficiency, and to minimise impact on productivity.
What factors influence the cost of an office fit-out in Sydney?
Key cost drivers include the project's size and complexity, the quality of materials and finishes, the extent of structural changes, mechanical and electrical (M&E) requirements, IT and AV integration, and the choice of furniture. Location within Sydney (e.g., CBD vs. outer suburbs) and associated labour rates can also play a role.
How can Marshall Group Services ensure my office fit-out is sustainable?
We advise on and incorporate sustainable practices by recommending eco-friendly materials, optimising designs for natural light and energy efficiency, integrating smart systems, improving indoor air quality, and implementing effective waste management strategies during construction.
What is the "Designers and Building Practitioners Act 2020" and how does it affect my project?
This NSW legislation aims to improve building quality. It places new obligations on designers and builders, including mandatory registration for practitioners and requirements for "regulated designs" and "design compliance declarations." Marshall Group Services ensures full compliance with all aspects of this Act for your peace of mind.
How does Marshall Group Services manage project timelines and budgets?
We employ robust project planning and management methodologies. This includes detailed upfront assessments, clear milestone definition, transparent communication, regular progress reporting, and meticulous cost control, combined with a contingency budget, to keep your project on track and within budget.
What kind of post-completion support does Marshall Group Services offer?
Our commitment doesn't end at handover. We provide post-occupancy service, including quality control visits, addressing any minor adjustments, and offering maintenance advice to ensure your new office space continues to perform optimally and meets your long-term needs.
