ASIA PACIFIC OFFICE FIT OUT COST GUIDE 2024
INTRODUCTION
The global economy has proven to be remarkably resilient over the past twelve months as interest rate hikes have continued across most of the world to tame inflation at a time of heightened geo-political tensions, rising cost of living pressures and ongoing economic volatility. While the hiking cycle is now largely over in Asia Pacific, economic growth in the first half of 2024 is forecast to slow, albeit with significant variation at the local level. Notwithstanding, capital expenditure budgets will continue to be rigorously assessed to maximise the quality of spend as companies position themselves for the start of the anticipated rebound in the second half of the year. Furthermore, the need to innovate and evolve has not diminished. Having set ambitious Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets, companies are now taking action to meet those targets. At the same time, new modes of working are being tested and adopted that embrace flexibility, collaboration and innovation, while fostering diversity and inclusion. The office is central to many of these transformative processes, with increasing focus on building quality, fit out design and raw material selection. In this guide, we have increased our coverage to 33 key cities across Asia Pacific. Whether it is a first generation fit out for hybrid working or a more advanced evolution in workplace strategy, a retrofit or reinstatement, this guide serves to assist occupiers in defining their capital planning and relocation budgets. The guide includes a comprehensive fit out cost section covering furniture, mechanical & electrical works, builder works, audio visual/ IT, and other miscellaneous costs.

ASIA PACIFIC OFFICE FIT OUT COST GUIDE 2024
MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
ECONOMY
In economic terms, the focus for most Asia Pacific economies over the past 12 months has been squarely on taming inflation. This has necessitated many central banks to undertake one of the most aggressive rate hiking cycles, in speed if not absolute interest rate rises, seen in decades and certainly in the post-Global Financial Crisis era. The positive news is that inflation is well down on the peaks experienced in late-2022 as the impacts of higher costs of capital have reigned in excess expenditure. Notwithstanding that inflation is above many central banks’ target bands, it is widely believed that for the most part, the current hiking cycle is over. Rather, the debate has turned to when interest rate cuts will be introduced to help reinvigorate slowing economic growth.
The cost of greater economic resilience in 2023 has been a longer hiking cycle, which has pushed the economic trough into H1 2024. Consequently, economic growth in 2024 is forecast to be slower than the previous year. Asia Pacific growth is forecast at approximately 3.5% in 2024, compared to an estimated 4.3% in 2023. As economic recovery gains momentum in H2 2024, this should drive stronger growth into 2025. Intra-regionally, growth trajectories vary most evidently between advanced and emerging economies. Vietnam, Philippines, India, and Malaysia are forecast to lead the way, supported by infrastructure development, strong domestic consumption, and foreign investment. Singapore and South Korea are expected to benefit from an improvement in trade. Elsewhere, China’s outlook is a little more undetermined, reflecting soft domestic consumption and a tempered property market.
Australia and Japan are likely to trail the region. High interest rates in Australia are curtailing domestic consumption, while in Japan real wage growth remains a key issue to watch. Upside and downside risks to this outlook abound. Support for stronger growth can be found in tight labour markets, which have been fundamental to the resilience shown to date. In contrast, geo-political tensions continue, which have placed further stress on supply chains, complicated economic policy, and driven more cautious risk appetites. Against a volatile economic backdrop, the Asia Pacific office market remains steadfast and continues to grow. Over 63 million square feet (msf) of Grade A office stock was absorbed across the region’s top 25 cities in 2023, an 11% improvement on last year’s 57 msf. On the other side of the leger, new supply totalled 103 msf, outstripping demand and causing vacancy to tick upwards to 16.8% from 16.1% in Q4 2022. Rental growth has subsequently turned negative to -0.2% y-o-y on a weighted average basis. The outlook remains broadly skewed to the positive 1 . Demand is forecast to increase to 83 msf in 2024 and to 87 msf in 2025, which would match pre-pandemic performance. However, waves of new supply are also expected, with nearly 235 msf of completions forecast over the next two years to place further upward pressure on vacancy, which is now expected to peak at 18.4% in 2024 and then hold steady through 2025. This will keep downward pressure on rents which are likely to remain flat in 2024, at the weighted regional average level, before slowly accelerating from 2025. Accordingly, the window of opportunity remains open for occupiers over the near term 2 . OFFICE MARKET
Inflation has eased significantly but still sits outside target bands in most economies.
Interest rates are largely estimated to be at peak, attention is turning to when central banks will pivot to rate cuts.
Economic growth to slow over the year ahead, but for Asia Pacific to remain more resilient than other regions.
Heightened economic uncertainty and geo-political tensions to complicate decision making.

SUPPLY CHAIN STRESS BACK ON THE RISE
RAW MATERIALS
RAW MATERIAL PRICING INDEX (December 2019 = 100)
LOOKING TO GO BEYOND MARKET AVERAGES and understand costs based on your unique construction requirements?
Although pricing pressure remain volatile, the positive news is that the cost of raw materials has continued to decline over the past year. The steepest decline has been in energy pricing, down 24% y-o-y, though both metal and minerals, and Brent Crude Oil are both down around 5% y-o-y. In total, raw material pricing has eased by up to 40% from the peaks seen in early 2022. However, conflict in Europe has not only reduced trade flows but also triggered the re-routing of vessels away from the Suez Canal and via the Cape of Good Hope instead – adding approximately 6,000km in distance and 10-14 days in time. At the same time, drought in the Panama Canal has caused a 36% reduction in transits y-o-y. Consequently, supply chain stress is starting to increase once again. Reduced capacity and longer transit times have caused container spot pricing to quadruple (Shanghai-Rotterdam) since October 2023. While the duration of these impacts remains unknown, the twin risks of reduced product availability and inflationary price pressures returning have become elevated. SUPPLY CHAIN STRESS SHIPPING COSTS

CREATING OFFICE VALUE
The fit out typology also needs to evolve. A greater proportion of space is being devoted to collaborative and wellbeing spaces, which has necessitated a reduction in individual workspaces. More importantly, the fit out of these spaces not only needs to support their intended uses, but also the individual differences in how employees use and experience the space. Environmental psychology, neurodiversity, and personality type, to name three factors, all need to be considered. Such an approach goes beyond Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to also include Belonging, reflecting the growing expectations of work and the workplace.
Almost four years on from the “great work from home experiment” enforced by the pandemic in 2020, the debate around the return-to-office continues to be held. For the most part, levels of office occupancy and/or office attendance have been little changed over the past 18 months. Furthermore, focus on the optimum level of office attendance misses the wider issue at play. Rather, attention should turn towards the role of the office and maximising the value that it can bring. The data on the purpose of the office is clear and continue to be reinforced through ongoing analysis – the office provides a place for human connection be it through collaboration or socialisation. Further benefits are derived from creating balance by separating personal and work lives, while for some employees the office still provides better access to tools and resources
to enable focus work. These factors necessitate a change in mindset towards the fit out and overall experience and way of workings. Workplace experience needs to be enticing enough for people to make the investment to visit the office and compelling enough for people to repeat and return. Firstly, this means occupying the right building in the right location, with cost, talent (culture) and ESG (carbon) being the three main drivers in decision making. Frequently, though not exclusively, this means a flight to quality, with quality often inextricably linked with strong sustainability certification from a physical environment and wellbeing perspective, and central business district locations. Such locations and buildings attract a rental premium, often resulting in tenants occupying less space to keep rent cost increases neutral.
The workplace has transcended its traditional role as merely a space for work. It has become the ultimate destination where individuals achieve a balance of work, life, and play.

PARTNERING WTH LANDLORDS
It is important for corporate occupiers to recognise that they are not alone in trying to achieve these goals. Just as they have set themselves targets, so too have landlords in order to meet investor requirements as well as their own strategic corporate goals. This presents the opportunity to create a partnership for mutual benefit. The partnership can take a variety of forms, such as through the sharing of data to help with goal setting and tracking. Landlords need to know tenant energy usage, for example, in their submission to GRESB. More formally, the adoption of green leases can be used to clearly articulate roles and responsibilities in advancing the asset toward a more sustainable future. This may include joint commitments around funding for capital upgrades – lighting is a common topic as it is usually owned by landlords and the power bills are paid by tenants. Smart collaborators are co-investing or writing terms into their leases to see these upgrades take place quickly. The same possibility applies to other building services such as HVAC, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and so on. The tenant is typically the end user, but the landlord may be the asset owner. Collaboration and co-investment can unlock faster progress, whilst also reducing the cost burden on one party doing it all themselves. There are also opportunities to collaborate on enhancing tenant experience within the building as well as creating social value and engaging with the wider community. The most successful occupiers and landlords will be those that identify these opportunities first, and more importantly, act on them together.

THE PATH TO NET ZERO
REACH OUT NOW
TO ENGAGE ONE OF OUR EXPERTS.
The momentum behind sustainability initiatives continues to increase. Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) maintains a database of over 7000 companies taking action on climate change. Within that dataset, 99% of those that have set Net Zero targets have done so since 2022 3 . While the European Union and the United Kingdom combined have the largest number of commitments, Asia Pacific has seen the greatest proportional growth in companies setting targets. Aside from occupying buildings with high sustainability credentials, there are further measures that corporates can take to improve their workspaces. This comes through gaining accreditation for fit out design. LEED, WELL and Fitwell are three of the leading measures that have been adopted across the world. Seeking accreditation brings several benefits, not least that they detail the exact requirements to meet set standards across all aspects of the occupied space and so provide corporate occupiers a roadmap of what needs to be achieved. Aside from the clarity they bring on understanding the operational performance of spaces, the fact that they are globally adopted means that multinational corporations can set common performance requirements across their entire portfolio.
These include assessments of air, light and thermal systems, as well as healthy food availability, green purchasing, wellbeing and mental health. Green spaces have continually been proven to drive superior outcomes including higher cognitive performance 4 , lower levels of sickness, higher productivity and greater creativity 5 . Accordingly, analysis of any ESG investment should go beyond pure sustainability metrics but also be measured by returns on employee wellbeing, productivity and talent retention/attraction.
There’s never been a more important time to invest in a sustainable, healthy, and productive office, and the good news is that it’s easier than ever too.
Matthew Clifford Head of Sustainability & ESG Asia Pacific
Landlords are increasingly recognising the need to partner with tenants to achieve ESG goals, showing how collaboration can drive change towards a net-zero future and benefit everyone.
Many of the metrics analysed for such certifications dovetail neatly with the elements required for a healthy and inclusive environment.
