An open plan office fitout is a practical, cost-effective solution for organisations with tight budgets. Featuring budget or refurbished workstations, screens, low-rise storage, and huddle booths for quiet work, the layout includes a kitchenette, hydration stations, meeting pods, collaboration areas, and an open office.

With minimal finishes and few permanent partitions, this flexible design reduces fitout and approval costs while creating an efficient, easily adaptable working environment that often operates without a traditional reception.

An open plan fitout would cost between $550 and $600 + GST a square metre and include:
