The role of an interior fit-out company involves transforming a space from scratch into a fully functional place with visually pleasing elements.
These include installing basic features like flooring, lighting, dividers and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) structures.
WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF AN INTERIOR FIT-OUT?
Planning & Concept
The foremost stage involves having a meeting with the client, listening to their requirements and planning accordingly. This forms the basis for the space and its layout.
Design & Approvals
The design is finalized, and detailed drawings of the space, together with the electrical, plumbing, and fire safety plans, are created and approved by local authorities.
Structural Work
This stage involves the construction process and demolition for renovation. New structure, partitions, walls and ceilings are installed.
MEP Installation
Then comes the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems installation done by a certified company. This also includes HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), lighting, and communication infrastructure.
Finishes & Fixtures
Then comes the flooring, wall finishes, and decorative items, along with furniture. These upgrade the area’s aesthetics and make the space usable and functional.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A FIT-OUT?
A complete interior fit-out includes all essential structural changes, practical and branding elements to ensure the space is practical and ready for use.
