FAQs
What is an interior fit-out and how is it different from construction or renovation?
An interior fit-out makes an empty space usable by adding flooring, ceilings, lighting, furniture, and utilities.
Unlike construction, which builds the structure, or renovation, which updates existing areas, a fit-out customizes interiors for your exact needs whether it’s an office, retail shop, or a home space. Hiring a experienced contractor in Manila ensures the space works efficiently from day one, with fewer costly adjustments or repairs later.
What are the main types of interior fit-outs (Cat A and Cat B)?
Cat A fit-out – Delivers the essentials such as raised floors, ceilings, lighting, HVAC, and fire safety.
Cat B fit-out – Adds the design details—partitions, branding, finishes, and furniture.
Working with an experienced fit-out contractor ensures you get the right level of finish for your budget and business goals, while avoiding overspending on unnecessary details.
How much does a fit-out or interior design project cost?
Costs depend on size of the space, materials, and scope.
In Metro Manila, office fit-outs generally range from Php2,500–Php5,500 per sq. ft., while interior design services may be billed hourly or as a percentage of the project (10–20%). A professional contractor can give an accurate quote upfront and help you avoid hidden expenses, saving you both time and money in the long run.
How long does a fit-out or design project take?
Smaller projects can be completed in 4–6 weeks, while larger offices or commercial spaces may take 3–6 months. A skilled contractor or designer keeps the timeline on track so you can move in or reopen quickly. With professional project management, you’ll reduce delays and avoid unnecessary downtime for your business.
What are the stages of a typical fit-out or interior design project?
The process usually includes:
- Consultation and site survey
- Space planning and design concepts
- Costing and approvals
- Construction and installation
- Styling, furnishing, and handover
Having a single team guide you through every stage makes the project smoother and less stressful.
Why should I hire a professional interior designer or fit-out contractor?
Professionals help you maximize space, keep costs under control, and deliver a polished result. They handle layout, materials, and compliance while coordinating contractors—so you avoid mistakes and get a space that looks good and works well from the start. With expert guidance, you gain peace of mind and a result that reflects your vision.
What’s the difference between an interior designer, decorator, and fit-out engineer?
Interior designer – Plans layouts, lighting, and finishes to balance style and function.
Decorator – Focuses on furniture and styling details.
Fit-out engineer – Manages technical systems like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.
Choosing the right professionals ensures every part of your project is done correctly.
Do professional contractors work on small projects as well as large ones?
Yes. Many designers and contractors handle everything from large commercial build-outs to single-room makeovers. Even a small project benefits from professional planning, giving you a better layout, smarter storage, and a more polished look. Consulting a professional early helps you make the most of your budget.
