Planning an Office Fitout: A Flooring Checklist

From subfloor to handover, the flooring decisions to get right in an office fitout.

11 July 2026 · 5 min read

Flooring is one of the last trades in a fitout but one of the most visible. Planning it early avoids clashes with your program and budget surprises.

Before the fitout

  • Confirm subfloor condition and levelling needs
  • Check moisture in ground-floor slabs
  • Choose products for traffic, acoustics, and slip ratings

During the program

Flooring should be scheduled after wet trades and painting, but coordinated with skirting, doors, and workstation installs. Sequencing matters to protect the new floor.

At handover

Keep spare tiles for future repairs, confirm cleaning guidance, and check transitions and thresholds are finished cleanly for practical completion.
