WHY 1/10

Why fit-out costs drop to 1/10.

It’s simple: cut sourcing with used materials, do what you can as DIY, and bring in craftsmen only where it counts. That three-part approach changes opening costs by an order of magnitude.

01

Source it used

1,254 sqm of used interior materials — usable pieces at a fraction of the cost of new.

02

DIY what you can

Painting, assembly and simple built-ins by your own hand — cut labour costs outright.

03

Pros where it counts

Electrical, gas, plumbing — bring in pros only for the trades that need them.
