Frequently Asked Questions


A complete office fitout in Nairobi costs between KES 3,500 and KES 14,000 per sqm. Budget fitouts (partitioning, basic flooring, ceiling) average KES 3,500–5,500/sqm. Mid-range projects including blinds, painting and furniture average KES 5,500–9,000/sqm. Premium corporate fitouts with glass partitions, acoustic ceilings, premium flooring and custom furniture range from KES 9,000–14,000/sqm and above.

The main cost drivers are: (1) Partition type — gypsum is cheapest, frameless glass is most expensive; (2) Flooring specification — carpet tiles vs premium laminate; (3) Ceiling type — basic gypsum vs acoustic tile; (4) Building location — Upper Hill and Westlands typically attract higher rates than Langata or Industrial Area; (5) Total floor area — larger projects benefit from economies of scale; (6) Condition of the space — blank-shell vs existing fitout requiring stripping out.

Our standard complete fitout quote covers: glass or gypsum partitioning, suspended gypsum or acoustic ceiling, carpet tile or laminate flooring, interior painting, roller or vertical window blinds, and reception desk or basic furniture package. Each item is individually priced so you can adjust the scope. Electrical and plumbing work is quoted separately in coordination with specialist subcontractors.

Yes. If you know your approximate floor area (sqm) and have an idea of specification level, we can provide a ballpark range on a call or WhatsApp. However, a detailed itemised quotation requires a free site visit to assess walls, ceiling height, existing services, access and other factors that affect cost. Site visits are free and come with no obligation.

A small 100–200 sqm complete fitout typically takes 2–3 weeks. A medium 300–600 sqm fitout takes 4–6 weeks. Larger or more complex projects with bespoke elements may take 8–12 weeks. We provide a detailed programme before works start so you know exactly when each trade is scheduled.

Yes. We provide a 12-month workmanship warranty on all fitout installations across all trades. Material warranties are passed through from manufacturers. We also offer maintenance contracts for ongoing support. Our transparent pricing includes everything — there are no additional warranty charges hidden in the quote.
