City Fitouts
Office, retail and hospitality fitouts, built to a fixed price.
We build what your architect or shopfitter has drawn, and we build it for the figure we quoted. City Fitouts works for tenants, landlords, franchisees and the architects who look after them.
Office fitouts
Partitions and glazing, ceilings, lighting and power, meeting rooms, kitchens and breakout areas, joinery and flooring. Mechanical and fire services coordinated with the building. Make-good at lease end.
Retail fitouts
Shopfronts, display and counter joinery, lighting, flooring and signage installation inside shopping centres and on the high street. Centre out-of-hours programs, landlord approvals and shop drawings handled.
Cafe and restaurant fitouts
Commercial kitchens, exhaust and mechanical, grease arrestors and hydraulics, cool rooms, bars and counters, front-of-house finishes. Food-premises compliance built in from day one.
Medical and dental / childcare
Consult rooms, surgeries and treatment rooms with their specialised plumbing and electrical; childcare playrooms, bathrooms and kitchens to the National Quality Framework.
How we work
Walk-through
We meet you on site with the drawings and the lease, measure up and check the base building.
Fixed price
A lump-sum price with a program and a clear list of what is in and what is not. No provisional sums hiding the real number.
Build
One site manager, licensed trades, weekly photo reports, certifier inspections booked ahead.
Handover
Certificates, as-builts, warranties and keys, on the date we agreed.
Where we work
All of Sydney: the CBD and city fringe, North Sydney and the Lower North Shore, the Northern Beaches, the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, Parramatta and Western Sydney, the Hills, St George and the Sutherland Shire. Shopping-centre and quick-service-restaurant work is taken interstate for national brands.
Questions people ask
Do you do the design as well?
No. City Fitouts is a builder. We build from your architect's, designer's or shopfitter's drawings, and we are happy to price early sketches so the design can be adjusted to the budget before it is finished. If you do not have a designer yet we can point you to several we have built for.
How long does a fitout take?
A basic office or shop refresh runs four to six weeks on site; a full hospitality or medical fitout twelve to twenty. The cost checker gives a program for your space type and finish.
Do I need council approval?
Often not. Internal, non-structural work in a commercial building is usually exempt under the NSW Codes SEPP. A change of use, a new shopfront or a food premises can go through a private certifier as complying development. Heritage buildings and some changes of use need a DA. We engage the certifier and manage the approval as part of the job.
Will the price change?
Only if the scope does. The lump sum covers everything on the drawings and in the scope list; anything the base building hides (asbestos, undersized services) is flagged the day we find it, priced, and only done when you say so.
