Office Interior Design & Build

Office interior design involves organising layouts, functional areas, aesthetics, furniture, and technical systems to create a working environment suited to employees, business operations, and corporate identity. An effective design must address space utilisation, circulation, employee experience, budgets, and the ability to adapt to future needs.

Maison Interior provides turnkey Office Interior Design & Build services in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, covering site surveys, 2D space planning, concept development, 3D design, technical documentation, cost estimation, construction, and handover. Each project is developed around actual site conditions and workplace requirements rather than a standard design template.

Why Should Businesses Invest in Professional Office Design?

A well-planned office helps businesses optimise floor space, organise functional areas, and create a working environment aligned with their corporate culture. The Steelcase Global Report – Engagement and the Global Workplace, involving 12,480 employees across 17 countries, also identified a positive relationship between workplace satisfaction and employee engagement.

Optimising Space & Functionality

Office layouts should reflect team size, departmental requirements, and daily activities. Technology companies, for example, may prioritise collaborative areas and focus rooms, while financial organisations often require additional meeting rooms and private spaces.

Supporting Different Ways of Working

Modern workplaces need to accommodate individual tasks, team meetings, informal discussions, video calls, and breaks. Rather than relying solely on rows of workstations, businesses should provide a variety of spaces employees can choose according to their tasks.

Expressing Brand Identity

Brand identity can be reflected through spatial organisation, colours, materials, lighting, and graphic elements. These considerations help create a consistent workplace experience for employees, clients, and business partners.

Managing Budgets from the Design Stage

The clearer the design is from the outset, the easier it becomes to calculate quantities and prepare accurate cost estimates. Changes to layouts, materials, or technical systems during construction often increase costs and affect project schedules.

What Does Office Interior Design Include?

Office interior design extends beyond 3D visualisations. It covers the entire process, from site surveys and requirements analysis to space planning, technical documentation, and cost estimation. At Maison Interior, these activities are coordinated to ensure the proposed design meets functional and aesthetic expectations while remaining practical to implement.

Site Surveys & Requirements Definition

Our design team measures the premises and reviews structural columns, ceilings, doors, technical systems, and building construction conditions. Maison Interior also identifies staffing levels, departmental structures, meeting and reception needs, storage requirements, and future expansion plans to establish the basis for design development.

Space Planning, Functional Zoning & Circulation

Space planning determines the floor area allocated to each function. Functional zoning organises areas according to activities, while circulation planning ensures convenient movement between spaces. These three elements must be considered together to reduce wasted space, minimise noise conflicts, and avoid inefficient circulation routes.

2D Layout Design

2D floor plans show the arrangement of workstations, meeting rooms, executive offices, reception areas, amenities, storage spaces, and technical zones. This stage establishes the functional layout before detailed 3D design begins.

Concept Design & 3D Visualisation

The design concept defines the overall style, colour palette, materials, and expression of brand identity. Once the layout and concept are approved, 3D visualisations help businesses understand the proposed environment before technical documentation is developed.

Technical Documentation & MEP Coordination

Technical documentation details ceilings, floors, partitions, furniture, and other construction elements. MEP coordination helps identify and minimise conflicts between interior design and existing electrical, air conditioning, lighting, fire sprinkler, and other building systems.

Material Selection & Cost Estimation

Maison Interior defines material types, specifications, and finishing requirements before construction. Based on the approved design, bills of quantities and cost estimates are prepared to help businesses manage budgets and make informed adjustments when needed.

Office Interior Design & Build Costs at Maison Interior

Office interior design and construction costs at Maison Interior are determined by project area, existing site conditions, scope of work, material specifications, and technical requirements. Current office interior design fees range from VND 200,000 to VND 300,000 per sqm, while construction costs start from VND 4 million per sqm, excluding VAT.

Office Interior Design Fees

At these rates, clients receive a design documentation package comprising 2D floor plans, 3D visualisations, and detailed technical construction drawings. Actual fees may vary according to the complexity and scope of each project.

Office Fit-out Construction Costs

Maison Interior offers three indicative construction categories to help businesses select an appropriate investment level.

These rates provide an initial reference for budget planning. Following the site survey and approval of the design proposal, Maison Interior prepares a detailed bill of quantities specifying work volumes, materials, and costs for individual items.

Factors Affecting Office Design & Construction Costs 

• Existing Site Conditions: Whether the premises are delivered in shell-and-core condition, partially fitted out, or require demolition of an existing office.
• Floor Area & Layout: The number of enclosed rooms, partitions, and functional areas directly influences construction quantities.
• Finishing Materials: Material types, brands, and durability requirements affect the overall investment.
• Furniture: Custom-made furniture, freestanding items, and imported products involve different cost levels.
• Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP): The extent of modifications required to electrical, air conditioning, lighting, network, and existing technical systems.
• Acoustic Requirements: Meeting rooms, phone booths, and focus rooms may require specialised acoustic solutions.
• Construction Schedule: Short handover deadlines may affect workforce allocation and construction planning.
• Building Conditions: Building management regulations concerning working hours, material transportation, and approval procedures.

When comparing quotations, businesses should evaluate the same scope of work, materials, and technical specifications rather than relying solely on the total price or cost per square metre.

Maison Interior's 9 Step Turnkey Design & Build Process

Maison Interior follows a nine-step office interior design and construction process, from receiving client requirements through to inspection and handover. This integrated approach helps align design, cost estimation, and construction while reducing discrepancies between drawings and on-site conditions.

1. Receive and clarify client requirements.
2. Conduct an on-site survey.
3. Develop functional 2D floor plans.
4. Produce detailed 3D design visualisations.
5. Prepare technical construction documentation.
6. Obtain approvals and prepare materials for production.
7. Carry out construction according to approved documentation.
8. Complete finishing works and professional cleaning.
9. Conduct final inspection and handover.

Once construction is completed, Maison Interior works with the client to inspect and approve individual work items before the office is occupied. The integrated process helps businesses maintain greater control over schedules, costs, construction quality, and unexpected changes during delivery.

Maison Interior's Completed Office Projects

Maison Interior's design and construction capabilities are demonstrated through completed office projects in major commercial buildings across Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Maison Interior has also delivered projects for Westcon Vietnam, SciGen, Grolex Vina, Thinklabs, VN Post, Fullerton Health Vietnam, Indorama, AnyMind Vietnam, and many other businesses.

How to Choose a Reliable Office Design & Build Company

Businesses should evaluate office design and build companies based on completed projects, professional expertise, delivery processes, and cost management capabilities rather than attractive design visualisations alone.

Important evaluation criteria include: 

• Project Portfolio: Experience delivering projects of comparable size, industry requirements, and complexity.
• Professional Team: Clearly assigned architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and project managers.
• Delivery Process: Defined activities, deliverables, and responsibilities at each stage.
• Bill of Quantities: Clear specifications of materials, quantities, and scope of work.
• Material Specifications: Detailed requirements for material types and technical properties.
• Project Schedule: Defined milestones for design approvals, construction, and handover.
• Quality Control: Established procedures for supervising and inspecting individual work items.
• Warranty: Clearly stated warranty coverage, duration, and conditions.

For turnkey design and build projects, businesses should prioritise providers capable of coordinating design, cost estimation, and construction within a unified process to minimise differences between approved drawings and completed works.
