Design & Construct
End-to-end commercial renovation in Perth, delivered by one integrated team.
If you’re upgrading an existing workplace, you need more than a builder. You need a team that can plan, design, cost and deliver the build without delays, miscommunication, or budget blowouts. OFP’s Design and Construct service brings every stage of your commercial renovation together under one roof, so your project moves faster, stays clearer, and finishes exactly as intended.
What is Design and Construct?
Design and Construct means you work with one integrated team from concept through to completion. Instead of engaging a designer first and then tendering the project to builders, where handovers can create delays, inconsistencies, and blurred accountability, D&C keeps everything aligned under one roof. The same team is responsible for both the design and the delivery, which simplifies communication and reduces the number of moving parts. It also gives you stronger control over scope, budget and timeline from the outset, so the renovation runs more smoothly with fewer variations and far fewer surprises along the way.
It’s an ideal model for office renovations, commercial refurbishments and workplace upgrades where business continuity, compliance, and budget certainty are non-negotiable.
The OFP difference
Many companies say they offer “turnkey” delivery. OFP is built for it.
With an in-house team spanning design, project management, and construction, as well as specialist capabilities such as joinery, your renovation is designed to your budget from day one, not redesigned halfway through the build.
What sets us apart
OFP’s D&C model is built around genuine in-house capability, which means your project is designed and delivered by one connected team, not handed off between multiple suppliers. Our architecture and interior design team shapes workspaces that are functional, compliant, and tailored to how your business operates, while our in-house joinery, flooring and furniture production gives you faster lead times and tighter control over the finish quality. We also have the experience and resources to deliver large-scale D&C projects, currently managing commercial renovations of 1,600m² and 4,200m² across Perth.
You’ll also be supported by project managers with trade backgrounds, people who understand what it takes to deliver efficiently on-site and keep a build moving without unnecessary disruption. Because design decisions are informed by real-world construction costs from the outset, you get clearer pricing and stronger budget control before you commit, reducing the likelihood of variations later. With fewer handovers across the project, timelines stay tighter and turnaround is faster.
What we deliver as part of a D&C commercial renovation
Every renovation is different, but D&C typically covers:
- Workplace planning, space optimisation and layout design
- Demolition, strip-out, and make-safe works
- Partitions, walls, glazing and acoustic solutions
- Ceilings, lighting, flooring and finishes
- Joinery: kitchens, storage, reception, custom cabinetry
- Services coordination (electrical, data, plumbing, HVAC as required)
- Approvals, support and compliance coordination
- Furniture, fittings and final styling were required
- Staging and sequencing to reduce downtime
If you’re unsure what your project needs, we’ll guide you through options based on your goals and budget.
Our Design and Construct process
OFP’s D&C process is designed to reduce uncertainty and keep momentum. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what decisions are needed.
Site meeting and requirements
We meet onsite to understand your existing space, constraints and operational needs. We’ll discuss timeline, stakeholders, budget range, compliance considerations and any staging requirements, so your team can keep operating.
Design brief and concept development
We translate your needs into a clear design brief and develop initial concepts with our in-house design team, focused on function, workflow, brand alignment and practicality.
Stakeholder consultation and refinement
We refine the concept based on feedback and stakeholder input. This stage helps avoid late changes and ensures the design reflects how the space will actually be used.
Cost planning and budget confirmation
Once the core design is agreed upon, we produce a detailed cost plan so you can make confident decisions. If you’d like to enhance finishes or adjust scope, we’ll guide you through options to upspec or value-engineer, without compromising the outcome.
Build and fit-out delivery
With design and construction working side-by-side, we coordinate the full renovation, joinery, trades, finishes, compliance checks and timelines, while aiming to minimise disruption to your business.
Handover and post-fitout support
Before handover, we walk you through the finished space to ensure everything is complete and aligned with the agreed scope. If anything needs attention, it’s resolved before sign-off.
Why D&C works better for commercial renovations
Traditional models often create a disconnect: the design looks great on paper, but becomes difficult or expensive to build. That’s where delays and variations creep in.
With D&C, you get:
- Budget certainty earlier. Design decisions are costed as they’re made.
- Fewer variations. Better coordination prevents scope gaps.
- Faster delivery. No tender delays, no design-to-build handover issues.
- Better quality control. One accountable team from start to finish.
- A finished space that matches the brief, right down to the details.
If you’re managing multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, or need to keep the business running during work, D&C is the most efficient way to renovate.
