What is the cost of office renovation in Singapore? Office renovation costs in Singapore typically range from $50 to $70 psf for a basic fit-out, $80 to $110 psf for mid-range corporate designs, and over $120 psf for premium luxury spaces, depending heavily on MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) requirements and material choices.
Planning an office renovation in Singapore? Whether you are setting up a new headquarters, expanding your current space, or rebranding, understanding the costs involved is the crucial first step.
At Nouvelle Workz, as a BCA-registered and BizSAFE Level 3 direct contractor, we believe in 100% transparent pricing without hidden interior design (ID) markups. In this 2026 guide, we break down exactly how much you should budget for your commercial office renovation.
Average Office Renovation Costs (2026)
Office renovation costs are typically calculated on a per-square-foot (psf) basis. Depending on the complexity of the design, prices vary significantly.
| Fit-Out Quality | Estimated Cost (PSF) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Standard | $50 – $70 | Startups, simple functional spaces |
| Mid-Range | $80 – $110 | Corporate offices, custom pantries, glass rooms |
| Premium / High-End | $120+ | Luxury brands, law firms, tech HQs |

4 Key Factors Impacting Your Budget
Before requesting a quotation, consider these factors that heavily influence the final cost:
- Condition of the Unit (Bare vs. Fitted): A completely bare unit requires extensive MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) works, which increases initial costs.
- Material Selection: Opting for premium sintered stone countertops will cost more than standard laminates.
- MEP & Fire Safety (FSSD): Altering sprinklers or air-con vents requires professional engineers and authority submissions.
- Working Hours (MCST Rules): Many commercial buildings only allow noisy hacking works after hours, incurring higher labor costs.
“Many tenants underestimate the hidden costs of MCST deposits and fire safety submissions. Always factor in an additional 10% contingency buffer when planning your office fit-out budget in Singapore.”
