Commercial Fitout,
Christchurch and Canterbury

A fitout is judged on three things

Whether it was ready when it was supposed to be, whether it came in at the number, and whether the finish holds up. Most of that is decided by planning and coordination rather than by anything that happens on the tools.

McBride Construction delivers commercial fitout across Christchurch and Canterbury for tenants, landlords, developers and project managers. Fitout is our highest priority commercial sector and it is where our self-delivered carpentry capability is most useful, because in a fitout the carpentry is usually the critical path.

What we fit out

What is involved

Working in live buildings

Most fitouts happen in buildings where other people are working, trading or living. We are used to it. Out of hours and weekend work, building management liaison, dust and noise control, protection of common areas, goods lift bookings and after-hours access are all part of the job, and they get planned before we start rather than negotiated on the fly.

Working with your designer or ours

We are comfortable working to a completed design from your architect or interior designer, tendering competitively against a full documentation set, or coming in early to price concepts and advise on buildability and cost. We can also introduce you to designers we work with regularly if you do not have one.
