The short answer for an office fit-out
Simfy Re’Live office projects start at ₹25 lakh. In practice most offices fall into:
- ₹25–50 lakh — a single compact floor, mostly open plan, limited cabins
- ₹50 lakh – ₹1 crore — the common range once meeting rooms, acoustics and a proper services layout are involved
- ₹1 crore and above — multi-floor, heavy HVAC and AV, or a high specification throughout
These are planning ranges, not quotations. We have not given a per-square-foot figure because it is the least reliable way to budget an office: two floors of the same size can differ by a whole bracket once cabins, acoustics and services are counted.
Why office interior cost differs from project to project
Office interior cost in Hyderabad is not based only on square feet. Two offices of the same size can have very different budgets depending on layout, materials, lighting, furniture, branding, electrical requirements and execution quality.
A simple workspace with basic tables and chairs will cost differently from a commercial office with reception, conference rooms, cabins, acoustic planning, custom storage, branded walls and high-quality lighting. That is why a proper interior estimate should always begin with a clear understanding of the business requirement.
Main factors that affect office interior cost
The biggest cost factor is the scope of work. An office may need only loose furniture and painting, or it may need a full turnkey fit-out with civil work, partitions, ceiling, flooring, electrical, networking, lighting, furniture and branding.
- Office size: larger spaces usually need more materials, labour and coordination.
- Layout: open workstations are usually simpler than multiple cabins, meeting rooms and private zones.
- Furniture quality: modular workstations, ergonomic chairs and custom storage affect the budget.
- Ceiling and lighting: false ceiling, profile lights, task lighting and decorative lights add to the cost.
- Electrical and networking: power points, LAN, server points and conference-room wiring must be planned properly.
- Branding: reception walls, logo walls, glass films and theme elements improve identity but add cost.
Basic, mid-range and high-specification office budgets
Businesses usually fall into three budget categories. A basic office interior focuses on functionality and quick setup. A mid-range office balances budget with better materials, lighting and space planning. A higher-specification office focuses on brand experience, custom design, comfort, finish quality and long-term durability.
Instead of selecting the lowest quote, it is better to compare what is included in each quote. One contractor may include electrical, networking and furniture, while another may quote only civil and finishing work. This is where many cost misunderstandings happen.
Where your office interior budget actually goes
A good office interior budget is usually spread across multiple work packages: partitions, ceiling, flooring, painting, electrical, lighting, air-conditioning coordination, furniture, storage, branding, glass work and project management.
For example, a reception area may need a branded backdrop, lighting, seating and feature finishes. A conference room may need acoustic planning, display points, table design and lighting. Workstations need proper spacing, cable management and durable materials. Each zone has a different function, so each zone affects the budget differently.
Common budget mistakes businesses should avoid
Many businesses start office interiors without freezing the requirement properly. Later, changes in layout, electrical points, furniture count or material finish increase the cost and stretch the programme.
- Choosing the lowest quote without checking scope.
- Ignoring future team growth while planning workstation count.
- Not planning electrical and networking points early.
- Using poor lighting that affects comfort and productivity.
- Not keeping a budget buffer for small changes.
- Starting execution without clear drawings and material specifications.
Why turnkey office interior execution works better
In a turnkey office interior model, design, planning, procurement and execution are handled in a coordinated way. This helps reduce confusion between multiple vendors and improves accountability.
For business owners, turnkey execution is useful because there is one clear team responsible for timeline, quality, coordination and handover. It also helps avoid rework because the design and execution teams work with the same plan.
