Our Step-By-Step Process
1. Initial consultation
We begin by getting to know your business, your team and how you work. We’ll talk through your location, budget, timescale and what you need from your new office.
2. Site survey
We visit the space to assess its layout, condition and existing services. This gives us a clear picture of what’s possible and highlights anything that needs attention before work begins.
3. Design and planning
We create a design that suits your business and the way your team works. This includes the layout, lighting, finishes, furniture and branding, making sure the space is both practical and welcoming.
4. Costing and specification
Once the design is agreed, we put together a clear breakdown of costs and everything included in the fit-out. This means you know exactly what to expect before work starts.
5. Landlord and building approvals
Some projects need approval from the landlord or building management before work can begin. We’ll help identify what’s needed and guide you through the approval process.
6. Construction
We manage the fit-out from start to finish, coordinating all trades, materials and installations to keep the project running smoothly and to plan.
7. Furniture and finishing
We can source and install the right office furniture, along with the finishing details that bring the whole space together.
8. Handover
Once everything is complete, we carry out the final checks and hand over your new office, ready for your team to move in and get to work.
Office fit out costs in Shoreditch
Office fit out costs in Shoreditch
The cost of an office fit out in Shoreditch can start at around £225,000 for an 3,000 sq foot office.
The type of office fit out is categorised by Cat A and Cat B.
A Cat A fit out generally prepares a commercial space for occupation by providing basic infrastructure and building services. A Cat B fit out takes the space further, introducing the layout, finishes, furniture, meeting facilities and branded details needed to create a working office.
As an initial budgeting guide, Cat A fit-out costs can start at approximately £40–£80 per sq. ft. Cat B projects may typically fall within £75–£140+ per sq. ft., depending on the design and specification. These are indicative budgeting figures, not confirmed Shoreditch-specific quotations.
The following examples illustrate how those indicative Cat B rates translate into project budgets.
| Office size | Indicative Cat B cost |
| 3,000 sq. ft | £225,000–£420,000 |
| 4,000 sq. ft | £300,000–£560,000 |
| 5,000 sq. ft | £375,000–£700,000 |
| 8,000 sq. ft | £600,000–£1,120,000 |
| 10,000 sq. ft | £750,000–£1,400,000 |
The final cost of an office fit out in Shoreditch will depend on factors such as existing building services, the extent of alterations, access restrictions, furniture requirements and the materials specified.
Older warehouses and converted industrial buildings in Shoreditch may also require additional investigation or remedial work before the fit out can proceed. Listed-building status, where applicable, can introduce further considerations.
What is the cost of fitting out an office for 30–50 people?
A workplace for 30–50 employees might need between 3,000 and 5,000 sq. ft, although the ideal floor area will depend on how the team uses the office.
A business with predominantly desk-based roles may have different requirements from one that needs numerous meeting rooms, collaborative areas, creative studios or dedicated client spaces. Hybrid working can also influence the amount of space required.
Based on the indicative Cat B rate of £75–£140+ per sq. ft, a 3,000–5,000 sq. ft project could have a starting budget range of approximately £225,000–£700,000.
The final figure will depend on the layout, level of finish, furniture package and the work needed to prepare the building.
How much does an office fit out cost for 80–100 employees?
For a team of 80–100 people, an office of approximately 8,000–10,000 sq. ft may be appropriate, depending on occupancy patterns, desk density and the balance between individual and shared working areas.
At the indicative Cat B rate, an 8,000 sq. ft office could cost around £600,000–£1.12 million. A 10,000 sq. ft project could fall between £750,000 and £1.4 million.
These estimates provide a starting point when assessing commercial property options and planning expenditure. A detailed assessment of the building and your workplace requirements will help establish a more reliable budget.
