Commercial Tenancy Fit-Out Guidance (NSW)

When fitting out a commercial tenancy—whether a shop, office, medical centre, or café—approvals are required to ensure compliance with building codes, fire safety, and local council regulations.

We provide expert guidance to help you prepare your tenancy fit-out for approval, giving you clarity, confidence, and a smoother pathway when engaging your certifier or submitting your application.

When Approval Is Typically Required

Fit-out approvals may be needed where works impact:

• Building use, classification, or occupancy

• Fire safety systems, egress, or access

• Structural elements or building services

• Compliance with BCA / NCC requirements

• Council or strata controls

Common projects include:

• Retail shops and showrooms

• Offices and co-working spaces

• Medical and allied health centres

• Cafés, restaurants, and commercial kitchens

• Warehouse and industrial conversions

If you’re unsure, we can review your plans and provide clear direction.
