- Main drivers: M&E, partitions, finishes and compliance.

What drives the cost
The biggest variables are M&E (power, data, lighting, aircon — often the largest share), partitions and rooms, ceilings and flooring, joinery and finishes, and compliance. Services-heavy spaces like F&B and clinics cost more.
Budget for the whole picture
Beyond the build, factor in approvals, downtime, and lease-end reinstatement — an obligation that’s easy to overlook. A clear, itemised quote prevents surprises.
