Custom office design vs traditional fitouts
When it comes to office renovations in Sydney or Melbourne, you have the choice of design and build vs conventional office fitouts. The destination is the same, but the client journey is vastly different. Let’s explore these two options for office fitouts so you can find the best plan for your
Traditional office fitouts
With a traditional fit out, the client needs to consult with several involved parties on their own. Clients must manage the architect, interior designer, IT consultant, project manager, furniture consultant, and mechanical consultant, with none of these parties interacting or planning together. That’s a lot of resources to manage, and it can get overwhelming at times.
Design and construct office fitouts
With a design and construct (D&C) company, there are fewer parties involved. It’s just the D&C specialist and the client, offering comprehensive solutions to achieve the best office interior design. Design and construct companies are known for speeding up the process to deliver streamlined and customised office renovation solutions.
