Our Services
Commercial office refurbishment updates your existing space. It targets finishes, layouts, lighting, acoustics, and communal areas while retaining the base building structure. Your HVAC stays. Your electrical risers stay. The bones of the space remain intact.
A full commercial office fitout is a different proposition. It strips the tenancy back to shell, replaces base building elements, and rebuilds from scratch. The timeline is longer. The cost per square metre is higher. The disruption is significant.
Some projects genuinely need fitout. If the base building has structural failures, if the HVAC cannot support your occupancy requirements, or if compliance gaps run deeper than surface-level upgrades can address, refurbishment will not solve the problem. Stemar identifies this during the site assessment and tells you straight.
Other projects start as refurbishment and reveal fitout-level issues behind walls or above ceilings. When that happens, Stemar presents the scope change with clear cost and timeline impact before any additional work proceeds. No surprises mid-build. If you need a full commercial fitout, we deliver that too.

Commercial refurbishment requires a builder who understands occupied buildings. Dust containment, noise scheduling, after-hours access, strata coordination, and BCA compliance checks are not add-on services. They are baseline requirements for any commercial project.
Stemar is based in Wetherill Park with deep Western Sydney council relationships and local supplier networks. We deliver across the entire Sydney metro, from CBD B-grade offices to suburban commercial tenancies in Parramatta, North Sydney, and Macquarie Park. Commercial refurbishment sits within our broader office refurbishment services.
Zone-by-zone sequencing so your team keeps working. After-hours and weekend work for noise-intensive trades. Your operations dictate the construction schedule.
Commercial refurbishment runs in weeks because you are not stripping back to shell. A 200-500sqm project typically runs 4-8 weeks from construction start.
The price quoted is the price paid. Variation orders are a last resort for genuinely unforeseen conditions, not a profit centre.
Not every office needs a full strip-out. Commercial office refurbishment delivers the strongest return when the base building is sound but the tenancy no longer supports how your team works or how your brand presents.
The structure is solid. The presentation is not. Lighting is fluorescent, carpet tiles are worn, and the layout reflects a decade-old way of working. Refurbishment brings these tenancies to a standard that competes with newer stock at a fraction of the fitout cost.
Parramatta, North Sydney, Macquarie Park. Tenants in these corridors need to attract talent without CBD-level fitout budgets. Refurbished B-grade buildings outperform dated stock even in a soft market.
Refurbishment strengthens your negotiating position at lease renewal. Landlords see a tenant investing in the space as a retention signal. Many offer refurbishment incentives or rent-free periods as part of renewal terms.
Based in Wetherill Park, Stemar has deep knowledge of Western Sydney councils, local suppliers, and the commercial property landscape. B-grade office refurbishment across Parramatta, Liverpool, Blacktown, and surrounding LGAs is core work.
Teams have merged, departments have moved, and the floor plate no longer reflects who sits where or how they collaborate. Refurbishment reconfigures the layout to match the new org structure without relocating the business.
Half your desks sit empty three days a week. Refurbishment converts excess workstations into collaboration zones, quiet focus areas, and upgraded AV for hybrid meetings. One project addresses both the space problem and the culture shift.
Candidates walk through your office before they accept an offer. Dated carpet, fluorescent lighting, and a kitchen from 2008 send the wrong message. A targeted refurbishment lifts presentation without the cost of a full fitout.
Commercial office refurbishment requires building project management discipline that accounts for tenancy constraints, compliance requirements, and multi-trade coordination. Every step is structured to surface problems early and keep your operations running.
Stemar assesses your existing space before quoting. The assessment identifies what can be retained, flags compliance issues including asbestos, non-compliant wiring, and fire safety gaps, and defines the refurbishment scope in detail. You get a clear picture before any commitment.
Layout planning and material selection happen alongside compliance verification. Stemar manages body corporate approvals, council DA or CDC requirements where applicable, and landlord coordination. You receive a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums.
Works are sequenced zone by zone so your team keeps working. One project manager coordinates all trades, subcontractors, and building management interactions. Practical completion includes a walkthrough, defect rectification, and full documentation handover.
Staged delivery and after-hours work are standard practice at Stemar, not premium add-ons. Dust containment barriers go up before any demolition. Noise-intensive trades are scheduled outside core business hours. Your building management team is coordinated directly as part of our scope.
Same principal-led approach, same trade coordination, same fixed-price delivery. Here is what that looks like in practice.
