Good to know.

Answers to what clients ask us most. Can’t find yours? Ask us directly.

Getting started

How much does an office fit-out cost?

It depends on the size of the space, what is already there and the finishes you choose. After the site visit we send one itemised quote in naira, so you see exactly where the money goes before you commit.

How long does a project take?

A small office refresh can take a couple of weeks; a full floor takes longer. We agree the schedule with you before we start and plan the noisy work for evenings and weekends.

Can we keep working while you build?

Yes. We can work in phases, after hours or at weekends so your team keeps working.

Where do you work?

We are based in Lagos and take on projects across Nigeria. Tell us where your space is and we will plan the visit.

Do we have to buy furniture from NestStore?

No, but it helps. NestStore furniture is already in our 3D builder, so what you see in the design is exactly what arrives. We can also work with furniture you already own.

Do you handle power and internet?

Yes. We plan power, backup (inverters and solar), data cabling and Wi-Fi as part of the fit-out, so the office works on day one.

How quickly will you get back to us?

Within two working days of your enquiry, to book a visit.

Do we have to use NestStudio to build the design?

No. You can take the design and drawings to your own contractor. Most clients let us build it, because one team answering for design and build is simpler.

How long does a design take?

For most offices, a first layout and 3D walk-through within a couple of weeks of the site visit, then a round or two of changes.

Can you design around furniture we already own?

Yes. We measure and photograph what you have and design around anything worth keeping.

Office fit-outAbout this →

What does an office fit-out include?

Everything between an empty shell and a working office: partitions, ceilings, floors, power and backup, data, lighting, air conditioning, kitchens, washrooms and furniture. We agree exactly what is in scope before we start.

How much does a fit-out cost?

It depends on size, the state of the space and the finishes you choose. After the site visit we send one itemised quote in naira.

Do you handle building approvals?

We work with your landlord or facility manager on their rules and approvals, and plan the work to fit them.

RefurbishmentAbout this →

Can we stay in the office during a refurbishment?

Yes. We work in phases, after hours and at weekends so your team keeps working.

Is refurbishing cheaper than moving?

Often, because you avoid moving costs and new-lease costs. We can price both so you can compare.

Space planningAbout this →

Can you plan a space we haven’t leased yet?

Yes. Send the floor plan or let us visit, and we’ll show how your team would fit.

3D designAbout this →

Can our team see the 3D design?

Yes. We share stills and a walk-through video you can pass round, and walk your leadership through it live.

Office furnitureAbout this →

Can we see the furniture first?

Every piece is in the 3D design, and most are on NestStore with photos and specs. We can arrange samples of chairs and finishes.

Power and backupAbout this →

Can you add backup to an office that’s already built?

Yes. We survey the existing wiring, then plan inverters, batteries and solar around it.

Data, Wi-Fi and AVAbout this →

Do you supply the internet connection?

We work with your chosen provider and plan the cabling and Wi-Fi around their connection.

Lighting and acousticsAbout this →

Can you fix an echoey office without rebuilding it?

Usually, yes. Acoustic panels, rugs and ceiling baffles make a big difference without major works.

Plants and brandingAbout this →

Do you look after the plants?

We can choose low-care plants or artificial ones, and tell you exactly how to care for real ones.

Moves and aftercareAbout this →

What happens if something goes wrong after handover?

Call us. We fix snags after handover and stay on call for anything that needs adjusting.

Offices and HQsAbout this →

We’re growing fast. Can the office grow with us?

Yes. We plan for your next headcount, with furniture and layouts that can change without rebuilding.

Banks and fintechAbout this →

Can you work with our security team?

Yes. We plan access control, cameras and server rooms with your security and IT teams.

Coworking and flexAbout this →

Can you fit out a space in phases as it fills?

Yes. We can build the shared spaces first and fit out private offices as demand grows.

Schools and trainingAbout this →

Can you work during school holidays?

Yes. We plan the build around your term dates so classes are never disrupted.

Clinics and studiosAbout this →

Can you handle specialist fittings?

We coordinate with your equipment suppliers and build the room around what they need.
