Commercial Interior Design
Commercial Interior Design & Build Services in Singapore
Commercial interior design in Singapore is a high-stakes game. A delayed fit-out costs you rent on a space that isn’t generating revenue. A compliance failure halts your opening. A contractor who disappears mid-project leaves you holding the liability.
Interea is a specialist commercial interior design and build firm in Singapore. We serve office occupiers, F&B operators, and retail brands who need one accountable team — from the first spatial sketch to the day you open your doors. Every project is handled under a single design-build contract, covering design, MEP engineering, regulatory approvals, and full site execution.
01
Office Interior Design & Fit-Out
We design workplaces that perform. From activity-based open-plan layouts to private focus rooms and executive suites, our office fit-outs are engineered around how your team actually works — not just how the space looks. We handle BCA and MCST approvals, MEP coordination, and IT infrastructure integration in-house, minimising your downtime and maximising speed to occupancy.
02
F&B Interior Design & Restaurant Renovation
A restaurant or cafe lives and dies by two things: the guest experience and the operational efficiency of the kitchen. We design both simultaneously. Our F&B projects comply with all NEA, SCDF, and PUB requirements — including kitchen layout approvals, grease trap specifications, and fire safety certification — without outsourcing to third-party consultants who slow you down.
03
Retail Interior Design & Store Fit-Out
Every square foot of retail space must earn its keep. We design retail environments that move customers from the entrance to the point of sale with zero friction, using spatial psychology, strategic sightlines, and brand-led materiality. We are experienced in coordinating with Singapore’s major mall management teams and their strict fit-out manuals.
Why Design-Build Protects Your Bottom Line
Single-Point Accountability
One team. One contract. One person to call when your MEP engineer and your landlord’s building manager disagree. We own the outcome — not just the drawings.
Compliance Handled In-House
FSSD, BCA, MCST, URA, SCDF, landlord approvals — we navigate all of them without outsourcing to third-party consultants who bill by the hour and delay your timeline.
Speed to Market
Our 72-Hour Design Sprint gives you a “Go/No-Go” decision before you sign the lease. Every day your doors are closed is lost revenue. We engineer zero wasted momentum.
How a Commercial Renovation Works at Interea
72-Hour Design Sprint
Before you sign a lease or commit to a budget, we conduct a rapid technical feasibility study of your space. Within 72 hours, you receive a preliminary spatial layout and a transparent project budget. This gives you a clear Go/No-Go decision before you're financially committed.
Design Development
Once engaged, our designers and engineers work in parallel — not in sequence. This means your spatial design, MEP engineering, and compliance drawings are developed simultaneously, cutting weeks off the typical timeline.
Regulatory Approvals
We manage all permit submissions and approvals in-house: BCA, FSSD, MCST, URA, NEA, and landlord requirements. No waiting for external consultants. No gaps between design and compliance.
Site Execution
Our own project managers and site supervisors run the build. We coordinate all trades — carpentry, electrical, plumbing, ACMV, tiling, glass works — under a single contract. You have one point of contact throughout.
Handover
We don't consider a project complete until every snag is resolved and your space is ready for operation. For F&B clients, we coordinate with NEA and SCDF inspectors to ensure your licences are in order before opening day.
COMMERCIAL RENOVATION COSTS IN SINGAPORE
Commercial Renovation Costs in Singapore: What to Budget
Office Fit-Out
A basic office renovation in Singapore — new flooring, partitioning, lighting, and carpentry — typically ranges from $50 to $80 per square foot. A full Grade-A fit-out with acoustic engineering, feature joinery, AV integration, and premium finishes can range from $100 to $180 per square foot or more, depending on specifications.
F&B Renovation
Restaurant and cafe renovations in Singapore are among the most complex commercial projects due to the MEP requirements involved. Budget between $150,000 and $400,000 for a full F&B fit-out of 1,000 to 2,500 sqft, including kitchen equipment, exhaust systems, grease traps, and full front-of-house design. Simpler kiosk or takeaway concepts can be delivered for less.
Retail Fit-Out
Retail renovations vary widely by brand positioning. A standard retail store fit-out in a Singapore mall typically starts at $80 to $120 per square foot, while flagship or luxury retail environments can exceed $200 per square foot.
Important:
Always budget a contingency of 10–15% for unforeseen structural or M&E conditions, especially in older commercial buildings. Our 72-Hour Design Sprint is designed to surface these issues early, before they become costly surprises.
