Office Renovation Singapore

Studio Mojo plans, designs and builds office renovations in Singapore — including projects delivered while your team keeps working. One coordinated team from brief to handover.

What it covers

What an office renovation actually involves.

An office renovation is rarely just new finishes. It usually means re-planning how space is used, upgrading services and technology, and bringing the workplace back in line with how the organisation works today.

Studio Mojo handles the full scope as a Singapore-based commercial interior design firm: space planning, interior design, mechanical and electrical coordination, AV and IT integration, landlord and authority approvals, fabrication, construction and handover.

Scope

Typical office renovation scope.

01

Space planning and test fit

Headcount, work settings, meeting demand and circulation mapped against the actual floor plate before design begins.

02

Partitions, finishes and joinery

Walls, ceilings, flooring, glazing and built-in joinery specified for durability and practical maintenance.

03

M&E, lighting and AV

Power, data, air-conditioning, lighting and meeting-room technology coordinated as one package rather than separate trades.

04

Meeting and executive spaces

Boardrooms, briefing rooms and client-facing areas where hybrid meeting technology has to work every time.

05

Pantries and staff amenities

Pantries, breakout areas and staff dining designed for daily use and easy upkeep.

06

Approvals and compliance

Landlord submissions, authority requirements and building management coordination handled as part of the programme.

Occupied premises

Renovating while the office stays open.

Most Singapore organisations cannot vacate an office for the duration of a renovation. Studio Mojo plans these projects in phases so work proceeds in defined zones while the rest of the floor keeps operating.

  • Phased zoning so teams relocate once, not repeatedly
  • Noisy and disruptive works scheduled outside office hours where required
  • Hoarding, dust protection and separated access routes
  • Building management coordination for lifts, loading and after-hours access
  • Documented safety processes under ISO 45001:2018

Programme

How long an office renovation takes.

Weeks 1–3

Discovery and brief

Objectives, stakeholders, site constraints and priorities established.

Weeks 3–8

Planning and design

Test-fit planning, design direction, materials and detailed costing.

Weeks 6–12

Approvals

Landlord, authority and consultant requirements aligned in parallel with design.

Months 3–6

Construction and handover

Managed delivery, installation, inspection, documentation and aftercare.

A typical office renovation runs three to six months from discovery through handover. Larger or more technically complex projects — particularly those with extensive AV, secure areas or heavy M&E works — can run longer.

Investment

What office renovation costs in Singapore.

Cost depends on floor area, the condition of the existing premises, how much mechanical and electrical work is required, the level of technology, and the finishes specified. A light refresh and a full strip-out sit at very different ends of the range.

Most Studio Mojo commercial projects fall between SGD 100,000 and SGD 500,000+, with larger programmes reviewed individually. The free Workspace Calculator turns your headcount and requirements into an early estimate before you commit to a design process.

Frequently asked questions

Office renovation questions.

How much does an office renovation cost in Singapore?

Cost is driven by area, existing condition, mechanical and electrical scope, technology and finishes. Most Studio Mojo commercial projects fall between SGD 100,000 and SGD 500,000+, with larger programmes reviewed individually.

How long does an office renovation take?

A typical project takes three to six months from discovery through handover. Larger or more technically complex renovations can take longer, particularly where extensive AV, secure areas or heavy services works are involved.

Can renovation work be carried out while our office stays in operation?

Yes. Many of our projects run in occupied offices. We phase the works, schedule noisy or disruptive activities outside office hours where required, and coordinate protection, hoarding and access with building management so your team can keep working.

Do you handle landlord and authority approvals?

Yes. Our role can include design development, landlord and authority coordination, consultant and specialist alignment, and construction management through to close-out.

Do you provide both design and build?

Yes. Studio Mojo can take a project from initial brief and space planning through detailed design, costing, construction, installation and handover with one coordinated team.

What size of office renovation is a good fit?

We assess fit based on complexity, scope, programme and investment rather than floor area alone. Projects where design, operational requirements and stakeholder experience need careful coordination are where we add the most value.
