WHY REFURBISH
A lease renewal is the natural moment to fix what has never quite worked.
Not enough meeting rooms, nowhere quiet, a kitchen nobody lingers in, and finishes that make a good business look tired to visiting clients. Refurbishing keeps your address, your fitout allowance and your people where they are. Our Melbourne office fitout team excels in revitalising spaces through expert commercial renovations, integrating efficient office space planning, and executing flexible office refurbishments tailored to modern needs. We specialise in creating environments that inspire productivity and attract talent, aligning with your business’s growth and objectives for a vibrant and functional office.
01
Staged around you
We break the office into zones and decant teams once, not repeatedly. Programme, notices and access are agreed with you and your building manager before anything starts.
02
Dust, noise and safety
Sealed hoardings, negative-pressure dust control, protected egress paths and a site presentation standard that respects the fact people are still working ten metres away.
03
Spend where it shows
We’ll tell you which upgrades your staff and clients will actually notice, and which are quietly expensive and invisible. Not every space needs everything replaced.
04
Keep what performs
Existing workstations, joinery and storage get audited and reused where they still earn their place, usually the single fastest saving on a refurbishment budget.

SCOPE
What we upgrade
01
Reworking the layout
The highest-value change on most older offices: adding the meeting rooms, quiet rooms and collaboration space the original fitout never allowed for, usually without losing desk count.
- New meeting and focus rooms
- Demountable and glazed partitioning
- Acoustic treatment and screening
- Rezoning and workstation reconfiguration
02
Finishes & presentation
The work that changes how the place feels on the first morning back: floor coverings, paint, ceilings, lighting, signage and a reception that reflects the business you are now rather than the one you were.
- Carpet, vinyl and hard flooring
- Paint, wall finishes and ceiling repair
- Lighting upgrades and LED retrofit
- Reception, signage and brand elements
03
Amenities, kitchen & breakout
The rooms that decide whether people come in. A kitchen and breakout worth walking to does more for attendance than almost anything else you can spend the same money on.
- Kitchen and cafe joinery
- Breakout and social zones
- Bathroom and end-of-trip upgrades
- Planting, greenery and accessories
04
Make-good, lease events & relocation
If you are leaving instead, we handle make-good to the landlord’s satisfaction, and if you are moving, we plan the relocation, the new floor and the sequence between them so you trade out of one and into the other in a weekend.
- Make-good and lease-end compliance
- Dilapidation and condition reporting
- Relocation planning and logistics
- Landlord and building manager liaison

questions
refurbishment, answered
Almost never. We stage the works by zone and decant teams internally, usually once. Where a space genuinely can’t be occupied during works we’ll say so early and plan short-term alternatives with you.
Usually, once you count a new fitout, moving costs, make-good on the old tenancy, downtime and the risk of a worse floor plate. We’ll model both honestly — sometimes moving really is the right answer.
We read the lease, price the make-good properly, and negotiate the scope with the landlord where the requirement is ambiguous — which it very often is. It’s frequently a lever in renewal talks.
Noisy demolition, drilling and floor works go after hours or on weekends. Daytime works are quiet trades behind sealed hoardings. Most clients report the biggest disruption is the excitement, not the noise.
Yes, and it matters more than people expect. Works applications, inductions, after-hours access, lift bookings and services isolations all run through the building manager. We have those relationships across Victoria already.
Yes. We design the whole floor once, then build it in stages across financial years, sequenced so the later work never has to undo the earlier work.
