Cost and program implications Sustainability and climate‑related considerations do not inherently result in increased fit out costs when identified early in planning and due diligence. The primary risk arises where these matters are identified late, potentially leading to scope change, program impact or approval delays. Early alignment between property, sustainability, finance and capital works delivery teams supports cost certainty and delivery confidence, whilst protecting value for money outcomes.
readiness highlights emerging policy considerations that may influence base building suitability and early site selection. The extent to which EV- ready or EV charging infrastructure is addressed within a fit out will depend on approved fleet strategy, landlord versus tenant responsibilities, building capability and commercial lease negotiation outcomes. Whilst EV infrastructure may not be seen as a standard fit out inclusion, commercial models and risk allocation between landlords and tenants vary and should be reviewed on a case-by- case basis.
