Commercial Fit-Out FAQs
Key facts regarding commercial fit-out procurement, budgeting, and statutory compliance in Central London.
How much does a typical commercial office fit-out cost in London?
Based on contracts delivered by Forma London between 2023 and 2024, fit-out costs fall into three benchmark tiers: Base Level at £139/sq.ft (£1,500/m²), Mid Level at £232/sq.ft (£2,500/m²), and Enhanced Level at £362/sq.ft (£3,900/m²). Cost variations reflect the degree of floorplate cellularisation, acoustic performance, and dedicated MEP infrastructure.
What is the typical programme duration for a Cat B workplace fit-out?
A 3,000 to 5,000 sq.ft commercial workplace typically requires an 8 to 12 week on-site programme following a 4-week pre-construction and procurement lead-in. Larger floorplates (10,000+ sq.ft) are sequenced across phased 14 to 20 week programmes to accommodate client move-in schedules.
Can Forma London act as statutory Principal Contractor under CDM 2015?
Yes. Forma London holds Constructionline Gold and SSIP accreditation, acting routinely as Principal Contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. We assume statutory health and safety oversight, establish welfare facilities, and manage all site trade packages.
