Physical installation typically takes from 1 to 16 weeks depending on the size of the office. You must add an additional 2 to 4 weeks for the design, approvals and manufacturing phases.
Rushed jobs generally cost more than those planned in advance.
Timeline based on office size
Small offices under 50sqm typically take 1 to 2 weeks for installation. Medium spaces from 50 to 200sqm take 3 to 6 weeks, while large or complex projects over 200sqm take 6 to 16 weeks.
Pre-installation and planning requirements
Design and approvals add 2 to 4 weeks to the project before physical work begins. Planning 8 to 12 weeks out avoids the significantly higher costs associated with last minute fitouts.
Furniture lead times
Standard stock items typically take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Custom or made to order pieces have longer lead times of 8 to 14 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Can a fitout be completed in stages?
Yes, some businesses choose staged fitouts to complete core areas first and finish the remaining sections in a second phase.
How can I keep fitout costs down?
Use modular furniture for easier reconfiguration and reuse existing chairs or desks that are still in good condition.
Why is cable management a priority?
Poor cable management creates daily frustration and is a tripping hazard. It must be part of the initial desk decision.
Questions to ask your supplier before you buy
- Do you buy direct from the manufacturer to avoid reseller markups?
- Are all warranty terms provided in writing rather than as verbal assurances?
- Will you provide a clear project timeline before any work begins?
