The short answer
What office renovation in Singapore actually means
Office renovation in Singapore is not a paint job with desks at the end. It is a commercial project: landlord rules, building services, acoustic privacy, furniture that matches power and data, and a handover date that survives endorsement delays.
ADEX Offices delivers turnkey fit-outs for bare units and deep refreshes of existing floors. You deal with us; we settle painting, electrical, aircon, partitions, acoustic glass, furniture, CCTV, digital locks, and related works. See how that compares with hiring trades separately in our office renovation contractor checklist.
Based at 5008 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, #04-09, Singapore 569874. We work islandwide — from CBD towers to business parks and small SME floors.
Three kinds of project
Which office renovation are you planning?
Bare unit fit-out
Empty shell in, working office out. We build power, data, aircon distribution, ceilings, partitions, finishes, and furniture as one programme.
- Layout & landlord submission
- MEP from scratch
- Move-in-ready handover
Existing office renovation
Refresh, reconfigure, or strip and rebuild a fitted floor. The survey decides what to keep, adapt, or remove before anything is priced.
- Keep / adapt / remove survey
- Phased works if you stay
- New rooms without waste
Reinstatement at lease end
When the lease ends, the same team strips the fit-out back to the condition your lease requires, so you exit without hunting another contractor.
- Lease clause review
- Strip-out & making good
- Landlord handback
One contract

Budget
How much office renovation costs in Singapore
Planning ranges per sq ft of NLA for a bare unit, not a quote. Glass specification, MEP load, furniture, and after-hours works move the number most.

Timeline
How long office renovation takes, step by step
A typical SME floor, from first brief to keys. Stricter towers and bigger glass packages stretch it — the fit-out timeline guide and landlord approval guide show where.
01Weeks 0–2
Brief & survey
NLA, headcount, bare vs fitted, meeting mix, budget band, and move-in date — then a site survey that checks services and access rules.
02Weeks 2–7
Design & landlord path
Lock layout, glass, finishes, and furniture counts. Submit for building endorsement early so approval time sits inside the programme.
03Weeks 6–12
Build as one programme
Strip-out or shell works → MEP → partitions → finishes → furniture → security, under one accountable timeline.
04Final week
Handover & snag close
Desks powered, rooms usable, locks live. Defects liability with a clear owner — not a trail of vendors.

10 Office Renovation Mistakes in Singapore (And How to Avoid Them) 2026
How much does office renovation cost in Singapore per sq ft?
As a planning range, essential SME fit-outs land around SGD 80–120 per sq ft, mid-spec floors with acoustic glass suites, aircon works, and workstations around SGD 120–180 per sq ft, and premium joinery, feature lighting, or tight programmes above SGD 180 per sq ft. Glass, MEP load, furniture, and after-hours works move the number most.
How long does an office renovation take in Singapore?
Plan roughly 2–5 weeks for brief, survey, and design, 2–4 weeks for landlord or building endorsement once a complete pack is submitted, then about 4–10 weeks on site for a typical SME floor. Larger glass packages, aircon changes, and strict tower rules extend the on-site clock.
Do I need landlord approval before renovating my office?
Almost always. Most commercial buildings require endorsement of layout, M&E, and sometimes fire and ceiling drawings before noisy or structural works start. We flag endorsement items during scoping so approval time sits inside the programme instead of delaying it.
What is the difference between bare unit and existing office renovation?
A bare unit fit-out builds everything from an empty shell: power, data, aircon distribution, ceilings, partitions, finishes, and furniture. An existing office renovation works with what is already there — a cosmetic refresh, a reconfiguration, or a strip-and-rebuild — so the survey focuses on what to keep, adapt, or remove.
Can we keep working while the office is renovated?
Often, yes, by phasing zones and scheduling noisy works after hours or on weekends where the building requires it. Phasing adds coordination and can lengthen the programme, so it is agreed up front rather than improvised on site.
Do you handle reinstatement when the lease ends?
Yes. Reinstatement is part of the same service: we strip partitions, finishes, and fixtures back to the condition your lease requires so you can hand the unit back without hiring a separate contractor.
What happens at handover?
Before handover we walk the floor with you to confirm power, rooms, locks, CCTV, and aircon, then close the snag list. Defects liability sits with one accountable owner rather than a trail of separate vendors.
What do you need from me to quote an office renovation?
Your unit address or floor plan, approximate NLA, target headcount, bare or fitted condition, and move-in date. Photos and any landlord fit-out guidelines help. We return a practical scope and a budget range before drawings are locked.
