OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN & RENOVATION CONTRACTOR IN SINGAPORE

We believe in absolute transparency regarding your investment. The cost from an office renovation company in Singapore depends heavily on three factors: the scale of the space, the complexity of the design, and the quality of materials selected.

As a general guideline in Singapore:

• Basic Office Fit-Outs – typically range from S$70 to S$80 per square foot (inclusive of design fees, simple materials, and essential fixtures).

• Upper Mid-Range/Standard Designs – typically cost between S$85 to S$110 per square foot, often incorporating a mix of open-plan and private areas with mid-grade finishes.

• Premium/Bespoke Designs – can start from S$125 and go up to S$200+ per square foot, focusing on high-end materials, custom carpentry, and advanced technology integration.

The Eight Design Custom Office Furniture Advantage

1. The Power of In-House Carpentry

Our firm's most significant differentiator is the dedicated, in-house team of skilled carpenters and our own workshop. This integration is crucial for office projects, providing:

• Flawless Quality Control: Unlike firms that outsource, we maintain total control over the choice of materials (e.g., premium laminates, durable wood, quality hardware) and the precision of the build, ensuring every piece of furniture meets our high standards from design concept to final installation.

• Design-to-Reality Alignment: There is a direct, seamless communication link between our interior designers and the fabrication team. This collaboration eliminates misinterpretation, guaranteeing that the aesthetic vision and technical specifications, such as precise cable management integration in desks or unique reception counter branding, are executed perfectly.

• Faster, More Reliable Turnaround: Internal scheduling allows us to better manage project timelines, significantly reducing the common industry delays associated with coordinating third-party furniture vendors.

2. People-First Design: Ergonomics and Well-being

Custom furniture is an investment in your people, not just your property. We design furniture to address the specific ergonomic needs of your teams, which is critical for long hours spent in the modern office:

• Ergonomic Workstations: We design and build desks and work systems tailored to your employees' tasks and technology, ensuring appropriate desk heights, monitor arm mounting points, and optimal spatial flow to prevent strain and fatigue.

• Biophilic & Aesthetic Integration: We custom-fabricate elements like integrated planters, unique wood finishes, or branded acoustic panels that align with current wellness trends in Singapore, creating a visually cohesive and calming environment that boosts employee morale and mental sharpness.

3. Maximising Space and Brand Identity

In Singapore’s context of high real estate costs, custom furniture is the most effective solution for space optimisation:

• Bespoke Storage Solutions: We create built-in storage cabinets, pantries, and file systems that fit perfectly into awkward niches, columns, or low-ceiling areas, effectively eliminating dead space while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered aesthetic.

• Unique Brand Expression: Your reception area, executive offices, and meeting rooms are a direct reflection of your company. We design and build signature pieces, such as a custom-shaped meeting table, a reception desk with embedded lighting, or shelving that incorporates your brand colours and logo, to create a powerful and lasting impression on clients and recruits.

By choosing custom carpentry from Eight Design, you secure a workspace that is uniquely yours, highly efficient, and expertly crafted to enhance the comfort and productivity of your team.

Absolutely. Our approach to design encompasses comprehensive technical compliance and functionality, distinguishing our interior design services in Singapore. We are fully licensed and endorsed with the essential Licensed Electrical Work (LEW) certification.

This certification enables us to confidently manage all mission-critical infrastructure, including:

• General Electrical Systems: Installation of lighting, power points, and dedicated circuits.

• Data & IT Cabling: Structured cabling for data, telephone, and network connectivity, ensuring your office operations run smoothly and securely.

• Security Systems: Integration of door access systems and CCTV infrastructure.

Furthermore, we handle the necessary regulatory submissions to local authorities, saving you time and ensuring your renovation adheres to all fire safety and building management requirements from day one.

Yes, absolutely. At Eight Design, our service doesn't end when the renovation crew leaves; it's just transitioning into the next phase: post-renovation support and maintenance. We know that your office is a critical, high-use environment, and any downtime due to a faulty fixture or a damaged piece of custom furniture directly impacts your employees' ability to work.

Our maintenance commitment is designed to give your company peace of mind and protection for your investment:

• Ongoing Operational Support: We offer services to address repairs and routine upkeep for all elements of your newly renovated office. This includes the functional aspects of your workspace, such as electrical wiring, plumbing, lighting systems, and custom fixtures. If a light flickers or a tap leaks, you have our team ready to assist.

• Custom Carpentry Warranty and Repair: Since we fabricate all custom furniture in-house, we are fully responsible for its long-term integrity. If a custom-built workstation drawer sticks, a cabinet door warps, or a reception counter needs a touch-up, you call us directly. Our in-house carpentry team is the fastest, most knowledgeable resource to ensure a quick, high-quality repair using the original materials and specifications.

• Long-Term Accountability: Our clients value this follow-through. It means we don't disappear after the final payment. We stand by the quality of our workmanship and materials, offering a clear line of communication to resolve any issues that arise from normal wear and tear, ensuring your office always remains a professional and highly functional environment for your team and visitors.

Our core difference from other office renovation Singapore contractors lies in providing a single-source, highly accountable model that is uniquely suited to the specific challenges of office renovation in Singapore, where space efficiency and uninterrupted business operations are paramount. We call this our Integrated People-First Advantage:

1. In-House Manufacturing and Quality Control

Most contractors rely on external carpentry vendors, which creates a gap between design and execution. Our advantage is the in-house carpentry workshop.

• Customisation Built for Your People: This setup allows us to precisely engineer ergonomic workstations, unique storage solutions, and branded fixtures that perfectly fit the dimensions and functional needs of your specific team and space. We don't adapt mass-market furniture; we build furniture tailored to how your employees work.

• Superior Quality and Fewer Delays: By controlling the fabrication process, we maintain strict quality standards on materials, finishes, and construction. Furthermore, we eliminate external logistical delays and miscommunications, ensuring faster, more predictable project delivery, meaning your business can return to full operation sooner.

2. Unwavering Accountability from Start to Finish

We take ownership of the entire renovation journey, providing a seamless experience that reduces stress and complexity for your management team.

• Single Point of Contact: You avoid the headaches of coordinating designers, carpenters, and contractors separately. Our dedicated project manager oversees every detail, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to the timeline across all trades, including electrical, hacking, ceiling, and flooring work.

• Commitment to Your Operations: We prioritise practicality. Our focus is not just on aesthetics but on creating a durable, efficient workspace that aligns with your operational budget and minimises disruption. Our longevity in the industry is a direct result of being responsible and responsive both during and after the renovation.

3. Creating a Branded, Productive Environment

Your office is a tool for culture and recruitment. We design it that way.

• Reflecting Your Identity: We ensure the workspace design, materials, and custom elements, like the reception desk or collaboration hubs, perfectly reflect your corporate brand and culture, making a positive, professional impression on clients and boosting team morale.

• Maximising Tight Spaces: In Singapore's competitive real estate landscape, efficiency is everything. Our expertise lies in using custom design to transform awkward layouts and limited square footage into highly efficient, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing areas, ensuring you get the absolute most value out of every square foot of your commercial space.
