      END-TO-END COMMERCIAL OFFICE FITOUT SERVICES

      Offering a single point of contact from concept to completion, Greater Group supports retailers and businesses in bringing their vision to life through functional, inspiring, and community-focused commercial design and fitout projects. The strategic use of new technologies and modular fixtures in addition to maximising the reuse of existing hardware and furnishings enables us to create future-proof and cost-effective commercial spaces that can be adapted for multiple scenarios.

       

      Whether you want to design a brand new retail or office space, reimagine an existing commercial space, or relocate your store or workplace to a new location, Greater Group’s end-to-end solution can deliver on all your project goals.

      WHAT IS COMMERCIAL OFFICE DESIGN?

      Provided by a team of designers, manufacturers, builders and project managers, commercial fitouts are performed to prepare a commercial space for occupation. Commercial fitout services include the installation of flooring, ceilings, windows, doors, wall partitions, furnishings, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and electric cabling and wiring.

       

      There are multiple different types of commercial fitouts. Firstly, fitout services differ from renovation services, although both can be delivered by a design, build and fitout company. While office renovations typically include interior and aesthetic changes such as painting the walls and upgrading the furniture and decor, a commercial office fitout project refers to treating and transforming an empty space into a completed work environment, ready to be occupied by tenants. 

       

      Commercial fitouts are mainly divided into three categories, namely Shell & Core, Category A, and Category B.

      • Shell & Core fitout refers to a commercial fitout project where the building’s framework is already in place with the exception of components such as interior walls, electric wiring, and heating, cooling and ventilation systems. Such a commercial space leaves plenty of room for the new owners or tenants to customise the design and layout to fit their unique needs. 
      • Category A fitout refers to a basic functional unit with some components such as plumbing and electric wiring already in place with the exception of functional features such as fire protection systems, raised access floors, and heating, cooling and ventilation systems.
      • Finally, Category B fitout refers to spatial and aesthetic considerations that have not been installed during Category A. These components may include window treatments, lighting fixtures, flooring, wall partitions, painting, furnishings, and branding collateral. This is the most creative stage of any commercial fitout project.

      THE ROLE OF DESIGN IN THE WORKPLACE

      Design is continuously evolving. In commercial and office spaces, the focus is increasingly being placed on creating multifunctional environments where productivity can thrive while prioritising the wellbeing of both staff and customers. As hybrid online-offline scenarios are becoming more and more prominent across all industries, commercial design plays a unique role in emphasising the success of physical environments — both in retail and office spaces. 

       

      Despite the conveniences of online shopping, e-commerce fails to deliver on the customer experience and sensory engagement facilitated by in-person retail experiences. Similarly, remote work and work-from-home scenarios pose a myriad of benefits for companies and employees, yet do not live up to the potential for creativity, productivity and community-building of well-designed office spaces. In this regard, commercial design and fitout services emerge as a solution for the modern-day hybrid commercial and workplace environment to create spaces where your customers and your employees can flourish. 

       

      If your retail space or workplace needs an update, take a look at our commercial office fitout services.

      COMMERCIAL OFFICE FITOUT PROCESS

      1. Strategic Planning

      During the initial consultation stage, we will gain a deep understanding of your project specifications, projected outcomes, budget and timeline. To conceptualise a vision of your commercial office space, we take a holistic look at your brand identity and workplace culture.

      2. Concept & Design

      Following the strategic planning phase, we get to work on the concept design of your new space. This includes meticulous consideration of spatial use, selection of finishes and furnishings, and a full set of construction drawings.

      3. Budget Planning

      Once the concept design has been approved, our designers and project managers proceed to detailed budget planning to ensure the project is executed in adherence to your budget. Thanks to Greater Group’s own state-of-the-art joinery manufacturing plant in Melbourne, we present an added cost-saving and convenience benefit by sourcing and manufacturing locally in Australia.

      4. Project Implementation & Management

      Our expert project managers provide a single point of contact throughout the project implementation stage. By liaising with the design, manufacture and build teams, we coordinate seamless execution while keeping you up to date with progress. Holding all parties to the highest standard, our continuous construction management services ensure that all commercial fitouts are completed on time and within budget.
