Why Refurbishment Makes Sense for Your Business

Choosing an office refurbishment or renovation can be a smart move—both financially and operationally. With Canopy Fitouts, you get all the benefits of a modern, functional workspace without the cost, time, and disruption of starting from scratch.

1. Minimal Downtime

We work around your schedule, often refurbishing in stages so your team can keep working with little to no interruption.

2. Cost-Effective Transformation

Focus on targeted changes that deliver maximum impact without overhauling your entire fitout. We'll also reuse and repurpose existing elements where possible to reduce waste and environmental impact.

3. Better Staff Engagement

In today's hybrid work climate, your central office now competes with home office comfort. Your team should look forward to office days, not dread them. A fresh, well-designed environment can boost morale, creativity, and productivity.

4. Brand Alignment

Your business and its people have a unique identity that is reflected in all the work you do. Update your interiors to better reflect this brand identity, making a lasting impression on clients and new hires.

5. Improved Functionality

Times change, and so should your office. We can reconfigure layouts, upgrade technology, and enhance acoustics between private and collaborative spaces, further supporting the way your team works today.

 

With the right refurbishment strategy, your office can feel like a brand-new space—without the expense or upheaval of a complete rebuild.

We found vintage cream brickwork at the start of this project, and used it as inspiration for this 70s-style office fitout. Open workstations integrate seamlessly within the space, reflecting the firm's values of trust, care and honesty.

It’s all about the process!

Design Phase

Our Consultant and Designer meet with you to discuss your business fitout needs and get a clear perspective on your vision. We will discuss your requirements and what challenges you are currently facing with your workspace; whether it’s a size issue, a functionality improvement or simply a workspace update, we will work with you to find the most suitable commercial fitout solution for your requirements and budget.

Proposal

We prepare proposals based on the brief from the initial meeting where we go through and plan the look and feel of the proposed business fitout project. This is where we get feedback from you so we can proceed to the next step. We offer cost effective solutions for an affordable fitout, so your budget is always top of mind.

Site Commencement

All costs are agreed upon during this stage and the outline of the project and timelines are discussed. We organise all relevant permits to be approved and issue you with a final Construction Set, Fixtures and Finishes Schedule and a Project Schedule.

Construction

We carefully source and recruit the right contractors for each fitout construction job. We work with our team of Designers and suppliers to ensure consistency across the look and feel of the project, and conduct weekly site visits with you so you can check in on the fitout and how it is coming together.

At completion, we conduct a handover to you after ensuring you’ve had a thorough walk through of the new space and make sure you are happy with your completed project. We continue to work with you to take care of any additional needs and ensure they are resolved in readiness for your relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between a refurbishment, renovation, and fitout?

    A refurbishment updates and refreshes your existing space—like new layouts, furniture, and finishes—without rebuilding. A renovation usually involves slightly larger structural changes that go beyond cosmetic upgrades. Fitouts are complete office upgrades, starting usually with an empty shell and building something entirely new within an existing space.

     

  • Will we need to move out during a refurbishment?

    Not necessarily. Many refurbishments can be done in stages or after hours so your business can keep operating with minimal disruption. Renovations may take slightly longer, so we'll work with you in the early stages to decide the least disruptive times to complete the work.

     

  • How long does an office refurbishment or renovation take?

    Timelines depend on the size and scope of your project. For smaller offices, cosmetic upgrades can be completed in a week once the work schedule is confirmed. Larger renovations may take a few weeks. We’ll provide a clear program upfront so you know exactly what to expect.

     

  • Can you work within our existing budget?

    Yes. We’re upfront and transparent about costs, and we’ll help you prioritise changes that give you the most value for your investment. Learn more in our Office Fitout Cost Guide.

     

  • What if our office is older or in a heritage building?

    We’ve refurbished offices across Melbourne in a wide range of buildings—including heritage spaces. Our team is experienced in navigating building codes, utility service upgrades, and design challenges that older spaces can present.

  • How do I know when it’s time to refurbish or renovate?

    Signs include worn finishes, smelly carpeting, acoustic problems, or an office that no longer reflects your culture or brand. If staff dread office days, a refurbishment could help transform morale and performance.
