Step 1 - Budget Range

Office Fit-Out Cost Estimator - London

Understanding cost is the first responsible step in any office project.

London fit-out pricing varies significantly depending on building condition, finish level, and workspace complexity. This estimator provides a realistic range based on current Greater London averages.

Typical office fit-out costs in London range between £600 and £1,500 per square metre depending on finish quality and building condition. Smaller offices often have higher per-sqm costs due to fixed infrastructure requirements.

This planning-stage tool is designed for Greater London SME environments and models early budget direction before consultant appointments or contractor tenders.

It estimates the budget effect of size, specification, meeting room count, and furniture scope so teams can compare options with clearer commercial context.

Use this as a strategic benchmark: it improves decision quality, but it is not a substitute for technical survey and formal procurement pricing.
