Yes, Progressive Corporate provides industrial fitouts, specialising in the design and construction of office and amenity spaces within warehouses and distribution centres.
The layout of an industrial fitout must align with your revenue model because every design decision impacts operational income.
What is included in an industrial fitout scope?
Industrial fitouts typically combine warehouse operations with dedicated office zones and staff amenities. The scope includes internal wall and partition construction, floor coverings and mechanical services. We operate as the head contractor to ensure all trades are coordinated throughout the build.
Dealership and franchise rollout expertise
Progressive Corporate specialises in complete fitouts for dealerships and multi-franchise organisations that require systematic rollouts. We manage the design, manufacture and installation of furniture for some of the largest networks in Australia. This turnkey approach ensures a consistent result across multiple sites without the need for the client to manage separate vendors.
The risk of designing without a revenue model
Designing a floor plan without a clear revenue model is a common mistake in industrial projects. Every layout decision has a revenue implication and you should know your numbers before locking in the CAD drawing. Proper space planning ensures the floor plate suits the intended layout and operational flow.
The industrial fitout process
The process begins with an initial consultation and brief to define your business needs and budget. This leads to space planning where a CAD floorplan is created to optimise the floor area for workstations and breakout areas. Once the design is locked in, we manage authority approvals and building permits from the relevant building surveyor.
Managing mechanical and electrical services
Construction involves building the skeleton of the office with studs and plasterboard before installing hidden services. This stage covers HVAC ductwork, electrical power points and plumbing rough-ins for kitchens or bathrooms. We identify old building services that need replacing early to avoid unexpected costs after the contract is signed.

Frequently asked questions
Does a warehouse fitout require a building permit?
Yes, most commercial constructions require authority approval or a building permit before work starts. This is obtained from the relevant building surveyor to ensure compliance with the NCC.
Can you handle the furniture installation as well?
Yes, we offer end to end project management that includes design, construction and furniture coordination. This provides a single point of contact for the entire outcome.
What is a strip-out?
A strip-out is the removal of an existing fitout before new construction begins. This clears the space so the new layout can be implemented.
