Office and shophouse fit-out in Kuching

Yes, and in occupied buildings we usually have to. Demolition and coring go into the windows building management permits; the rest runs in normal hours.

Power, lighting and data containment, yes, coordinated to the furniture layout so the outlets end up where the desks actually are. Active network equipment is normally your IT supplier.

A straightforward shoplot or single office floor is typically four to eight weeks from possession to handover. What decides it is rarely the building work — it is the lead time on glazed partitions and lighting, and how many hours a day the building management allows noisy work. Both are known before the programme is dated, so the handover date is committed rather than estimated.

Often, in phases — the fit-out is split so one part of the floor stays open while the other is worked on, with hoarding between them and the noisy trades pushed into evenings. It costs some programme time and it is worth it when closing costs more. We will say plainly at the quote stage which parts cannot be phased.
