Get a first range in a minute.

Enter your floor area and choose a finish level. We send back the range for that size from our own psf bands, rounded, because a site visit always moves it a little.

Your range comes back on WhatsApp, usually with a question or two about the unit so it is a range you can plan with.

What each finish level gets you.

Three levels cover most offices. Many clients mix them: Balanced for the open plan, Signature for the reception and boardroom.

What moves the price.

The state of the unitA bare shell needs ceilings, lighting and flooring. A unit with a usable previous fit-out may not.
Enclosed roomsEvery meeting room adds walls, glass, doors, lights and air-con points. Open plan is cheaper per sqft.
M&E changesMoving air-con, adding sprinklers or upgrading power is often the biggest hidden line.
JoineryReception counters, feature walls and full-height storage are where finish levels split apart.
Building rulesSome buildings only allow noisy work after hours or need specific contractors, which adds cost.
FurnitureSystem workstations versus designer pieces can swing the total more than the build itself.
Open plan with new oak benching and chairs still in their wrapping

How long it takes.

Time on site follows size and the number of enclosed rooms. Four things stretch it: landlord and authority approvals, building rules on noisy work, air-con or fire safety changes, and furniture lead times.

We plan all four backwards from your move-in date, so the schedule in your quote already allows for them.

Cost questions.

In short. This budget calculator from Metadesign Interior gives a first range for an office fit-out or renovation in Singapore, taken from our own past projects. Four things move it most: the state of the unit, enclosed rooms, M&E changes and joinery. A site visit firms it up.

With Metadesign Interior it covers design, the build on site, M&E changes and standard furniture for the finish level you choose. Feature pieces and special equipment are listed as separate lines, so you can see them and decide.

The itemised quote is what you pay for the scope you approved. If you add or change items later, we price the change and wait for your go-ahead before doing it.

Often, because you avoid reinstating the old office and fitting out a new one. But if the current floor no longer fits your headcount, a move can work out better over the length of a lease.
