Office fit out, from first plan to final fix.
We design the space, build it and furnish it. One team from the first plan to the last chair, one invoice, and one firm answerable for the whole job.
Office fit out and furniture across Yorkshire.
We are based at 1 Water Vole Way in Doncaster and most of our work is within an hour of it: Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Leeds, Hull and across South Yorkshire. Cat A and Cat B fit outs, refurbishments, relocations and single rooms, from one meeting suite to a whole floor.
The part most fit out firms hand to somebody else is the part we keep. We specify, supply and install the furniture against the same drawings we designed the space with, so the desks, the seating and the meeting rooms are decided at the same time as the layout rather than bought in a hurry at the end.

A fit out that includes the furniture.
An office furniture fit out is a fit out where the furniture is part of the job rather than something you buy separately once the builders have gone. The desks, chairs, storage, meeting tables, breakout seating and the acoustic screens are specified alongside the layout, ordered against the programme, and installed before you move back in. It sounds like a small distinction and it is the difference between an office that is finished and an office that is nearly finished.
Most fit out firms stop at the building. You get a beautiful empty floor and a furniture supplier you have never met, working to a lead time nobody checked against the build programme, and a team sitting on the old chairs for six weeks because the new ones were ordered too late. We specify, supply and install it ourselves, so the furniture is scheduled with everything else and one firm is answerable if it is late.

Frequently asked questions about office fit out.
What is an office fit out?+
An office fit out involves transforming an empty or outdated office space into a functional, aesthetically pleasing workplace. It includes everything from demolition, installing partitions, flooring and lighting to integrating office furniture and branding elements, tailored to the operational and cultural needs of your business.
What is the process of an office fit out?+
It typically starts with an initial consultation to understand your requirements, goals and budget, followed by space planning and design, detailed cost estimation, then construction and installation. We finish with handover and aftercare, offering ongoing support as needed.
What is the difference between Cat A and Cat B office fit outs?+
A Category A fit out delivers a basic, functional workspace, suspended ceilings, electrical systems, lighting and standard finishes, a "blank canvas" for businesses to customise later. A Category B fit out is fully tailored to your company's requirements, adding partitions, furniture and bespoke design elements to create a unique, ready-to-use workspace.
How much does an office fit out cost?+
The cost varies depending on the size of the space, the scope of the project, material specification and level of customisation. As each project is unique, we quote each one individually. If you want a figure before you speak to anyone, our estimator asks a few questions about your space and gives you a working range in about two minutes.
How long does an office fit out take?+
A standard office fit out takes on average 4-8 weeks for small-scale offices and 8-16 weeks for medium to large scale offices. We combine meticulous planning with close collaboration to keep your project on track, delivered on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to your business.
What is an office furniture fit out?+
It is a fit out where the furniture is part of the same job and the same contract, rather than something you source separately after the build. We specify it with the layout, order it against the programme and install it before you move back in. Ask any firm you are speaking to whether furniture is inside or outside their price, because it is one of the biggest single lines in a fit out and it is the one most often left out of a comparison.
