The fit out construction costs featured in this guide do not include low voltage cabling, audio visual equipment, security, furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) and soft costs; however, to provide users with a process to arrive at an all-in fit out construction cost, we offer general information about these additional costs. See low to high ranges of costs for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Note that these cost ranges are based on the type of project being priced. Further adjustments to these ranges may be necessary based on the actual scope of the project. For example, if a space includes a telepresence room, the A/V and IT costs may exceed the high range of these values to reflect the scope of that item. HOW TO USE THIS SUPPLEMENT: • Identify your market and its tier. • Find your 2026 fit out construction cost—i.e., hard costs, from the market tables provided at the back of the report. • Use the high-low ranges and add them to your hard costs (HC), or, alternatively, use the percentage of HC column to calculate the percentage of hard costs and add that to your total. • These numbers provide a range. For more accurate pricing, please reach out to your local Cushman & Wakefield PDS professional.
