Where the budget actually goes
For a typical mid-range 3,000 sq ft office, the cost split looks roughly like this: civil and interiors 35–40%, electrical 15–20%, HVAC 15–20%, furniture and workstations 15–20%, networking and fire safety 5–8%, and design fees 5–8%.
Per-sq-ft vs fixed turnkey pricing
Per-square-foot pricing is the most common model for commercial fit-outs and makes it easy to compare quotes — but always verify exactly what's included (furniture, MEP, HVAC, approvals) since this varies between vendors.
A fixed turnkey quote gives a single all-inclusive price for a defined scope, which is useful for budget certainty once your requirements are frozen.
Planning for minimal disruption
If your office is already operational, ask your designer about phased execution by floor or zone, so teams can keep working in unaffected areas while other sections are being fitted out.
