What are commercial interior design and fit-out services?
Commercial interior design and fit-out services cover the design, engineering, management, and construction of business spaces. The scope spans commercial interior designing, architectural and MEP design, project management consultancy, and turnkey interior fitout. Creatabar delivers all four from Kochi across India and the GCC – as standalone services, or as one design-to-handover contract.
Commercial projects rarely fail on design. They fail at the handovers – designer to engineer, engineer to contractor, contractor to client. Creatabar keeps all four inside one organisation, working from one drawing set against one programme. You brief once, you sign off once. Need only one piece? Take exactly that.
Our commercial interior design services
Four services. Each stands alone. Together they take a project from empty shell to opening day.
Need all four? That’s our design-to-handover package – one brief, one team, one party accountable for your opening date.
Three ways to work with us
Most firms sell the whole package or nothing. Pick the engagement that matches what you already have.
Single service
You have part of the project covered and need one specialist piece – a design, an MEP set, a cost estimate, a fitout contractor. Take that service alone. The deliverable is yours to use anywhere.
Best when: you already have an architect, an in-house team, or an appointed contractor.
Design & engineering
Commercial interior designing plus architectural design. You get a coordinated, code-compliant, fully tendered document set — then take it to market and appoint your own contractor.
Best when: your procurement policy requires competitive tendering, or you have a preferred contracto
Design-to-handover (recommended)
All four services under one contract. One brief, one programme, one point of contact, one party accountable for the opening date.
Why this matters: when design, engineering, management and build sit with four different firms, every delay has four possible owners — and none of them is yours to hold. Under a single contract, there is one. It is the reason most of our repeat clients move to this model after their first project.
Best when: you have a fixed opening date and no appetite for coordinating four contracts.

FAQs
What commercial interior design services does Creatabar offer?
Creatabar offers four core services. Commercial Interior Designing covers concept, space planning, 3D visualisation and design development. Architectural Design covers MEP, HVAC, lighting, fire safety and structural drawings. PMC covers scheduling, procurement, quality control and contractor coordination. Turnkey Interior Fitout covers end-to-end execution from civil works to final handover. Each works standalone or as a single design-to-handover contract.
How much does commercial interior design cost in India?
Commercial interior design costs vary with project size, sector, location and finish quality. Turnkey commercial fitouts in India typically range from ₹800 to ₹3,500+ per sq ft. GCC rates differ by market and are quoted separately. Creatabar provides a detailed cost estimate after a free initial consultation, because every commercial project has unique requirements.
How long does a commercial interior fitout project take?
A small office fitout of 1,000–2,000 sq ft typically takes 6–10 weeks. A mid-size retail or restaurant project of 2,000–5,000 sq ft takes 10–16 weeks. Large hospitality or healthcare projects can take four to eight months. Creatabar’s PMC layer tracks every project against a clear schedule from day one.
Does Creatabar work outside Kerala - in other Indian cities and GCC countries?
Yes. Headquartered in Kochi, Creatabar has delivered commercial interior projects across India including Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR, and internationally across the GCC including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, Kuwait City and Muscat, with a presence in 12+ nations and specialised locations in Kochi, Calicut, Trivandrum, Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
What is a turnkey interior fitout?
A turnkey interior fitout means a single contractor – Creatabar – manages and delivers the entire project from design to handover. This includes civil works, flooring, ceiling, MEP, joinery, bespoke furniture, signage and final finishing. The client receives a fully completed, ready-to-use commercial space with one contract and one point of accountability.
What is PMC in interior design?
PMC stands for Project Management Consultancy. Creatabar manages the project on the client’s behalf – handling contractor coordination, budget control, procurement, scheduling, quality assurance and approvals – ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery without the client managing multiple vendors. PMC is available even when another firm is doing the design or the build.
Can I hire Creatabar for design only, without the fitout?
Yes. All four services work standalone. You can take the design and tender document set and build it with your own contractor, or take it to competitive bid. Many clients do exactly that on a first project and move to design-to-handover on the second.
