Give contractors an office-ready brief
Send a plan or measured sketch, photos, area and a list of rooms and services that must remain operational. Mention landlord or building-manager approvals, access rules and any lease make-good obligations.
Ask each business which design, electrical, data, plumbing and fire-safety trades it manages, and who coordinates approvals and building access.
Compare the full fit-out scope
Compare demolition, protection, waste, partitions, joinery, services, finishes, staging, inspection and defects in writing. Ask for an itemised GST-inclusive total and a disruption plan for occupied premises.
Good questions. Plain answers.
Can a home renovator do an office renovation?
Some can. Confirm relevant commercial fit-out projects, capacity, access arrangements and required credentials.
Who approves an office fit-out?
Your lease, building management and local authority may all matter; ask who will identify and manage each approval.
