Commercial Fit Out Design Brisbane.

Practical fit-out design for offices, retail and hospitality tenancies.

Formardå designs and documents commercial fit-outs across Brisbane and Southeast Queensland, from small shops and cafés to offices and professional suites. As a QBCC licensed building designer, we handle the design and the technical documentation together, so the layout you approve is the layout that gets built.

​

A good fit-out starts with how your business actually runs: how people move through the space, where customers are served, what needs storage, and what your lease and the building allow. We work from a measure-up of your tenancy and your brief, develop layouts that work day to day, then document them clearly enough for builders to price accurately.

What we provide

  • Tenancy measure-up and existing conditions plans

  • Concept layouts and space planning

  • Floor plans, elevations, sections and joinery details

  • Construction documentation for builders and tradespeople

  • Building approval and council documentation where required

  • Coordination with your landlord, certifier and specialist consultants as needed

Design and Drafting Commercial Spaces

Commercial tenancies come with requirements that residential projects don't, such as fire safety and egress, accessibility, ventilation and wet areas, and for food businesses, hygiene and waste requirements. We design with these in mind from the first layout rather than discovering them at certification, which helps avoid costly redesign and delays.

​

Whether you need a concept to test with your landlord or complete documentation ready for tender and approval, we scope our work to the stage your project is at.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fit Outs

Do I need approval for a commercial fit-out in Brisbane?

Often yes. Many fit-outs need a building approval from a private certifier, and some also need council approval, for example where there is a change of use or external work. The pathway depends on your tenancy, the building classification and what you are changing, and we confirm it before documentation begins.

Can you design a fit-out for a leased tenancy?

Yes. We work within your lease and landlord requirements, and can prepare drawings suitable for landlord approval before moving to full documentation.

What is included in your fit-out design service?

Depending on the stage you need, we provide tenancy measure-up, concept layouts, floor plans, elevations, joinery and fit-out details, construction documentation and approval documentation, coordinating any specialist consultants required.

Can you design a café, restaurant or other hospitality fit-out?

Yes. Hospitality tenancies have additional requirements such as food-safe layouts, ventilation and wet areas, and we design with these in mind from the first concept.
