Frequently asked questions.

Answers to the questions we hear on almost every first call. If you cannot find yours, email us at info@fit-out.uz.

Projects and timelines

How long does a 1,000 sqm fit-out take?

The standard timeline is 14-18 weeks from signing the contract to handover, made up of 3-5 weeks of design, 8-10 weeks of construction and 1-2 weeks of snagging. On urgent projects we compress this to 10 weeks by running processes in parallel.

What does a "turnkey design project" include?

A space programme, a concept book, 3D visuals of the key zones, working drawings across the architectural, structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and low-current disciplines, a furniture plan with specifications, a budget and a schedule. All of it comes in one package, with no separate contracts for the design disciplines.

Do you take on design only, without the construction?

Yes. We can deliver just the design and hand the full documentation package to an outside general contractor. If you prefer, we stay on as design supervision during construction, with weekly site visits, sign-off on deviations and signing the as-built documentation.

Will you work with a design already produced by another studio?

Yes. If you already have a concept or working drawings from another architect, we can step in as a build partner. We recost the budget, check the structural solutions and deliver it turnkey. We usually start with a technical audit of the project.

Do you work in the regions of Uzbekistan?

Yes. Our teams regularly travel to Samarkand, Bukhara, Namangan, Andijan and Fergana. Travel costs are included in the budget. For regional sites we put together a site team and bring in local subcontractors.

Budget and contract

How much does an office design project cost?

The cost depends on the area, the finish level and the scope of work. The typical range is $20 to $45 per sqm for concept plus working drawings. We prepare an exact estimate within 5 working days of the first visit and survey.

Is the budget fixed in the contract?

Yes. We work under a fixed-price contract with a detailed cost breakdown. Changes are only possible if the scope of work changes, and each one is documented in an additional agreement before it starts.

What warranties come with the completed work?

The warranty on finishes is 12 months, and on building services it is 24 months or more depending on the equipment supplier. Furniture carries the manufacturer's warranty, typically 2 to 12 years. All terms are set out in the contract.

What is the smallest project you take on?

We take on projects from 80 sqm. For smaller jobs, such as reconfiguring a layout, replacing finishes or adding furniture, we have a separate small works team with a simplified process - a response within 24 hours and a start the following week.

Services and process

What does a first conversation with FIT-OUT look like?

First we have a short 15-20 minute call to discuss the brief and the parameters of the space. Then comes a free site visit for measurements, photos and an assessment of the current condition. Within 5 working days you receive a proposal with a preliminary estimate and schedule.

Can you help choose a space for a new office?

Yes. As part of workplace consultancy we analyse your space requirements and assess potential locations in Tashkent against 12 parameters, from MEP infrastructure to desk density and how easy the site is to reach.

Are you connected to FOMAT?

FOMAT is our sister company. It manufactures and supplies office furniture. On our projects we often use FOMAT furniture, which shortens lead times and makes quality control easier. Read more at fomat.uz.
