These are our typical Sydney prices for standard jobs, in Australian dollars and including GST. Complex jobs can fall outside them, so your written quote confirms the scope, equipment, labour and exclusions before work starts.

A worked example
A four-desk office refresh
List the power and data points each desk actually needs, then identify printer, meeting-room and Wi-Fi positions. Use the individual point ranges to compare the quoted line items. Do not treat their sum as a complete fit-out price: circuit capacity, the communications cabinet, after-hours access and testing need their own scope.
What changes the cost?
Trading hours and shutdowns
Work may need staged isolation, early access or an after-hours visit. Agree the outage window and which equipment must remain powered.
Fit-out scope
A furniture plan alone does not define the electrical job. Equipment loads, socket locations, lighting controls and network positions determine the installation.
Before you arrange the work
Office fit-outs
Mark each workstation, meeting room and printer position on a layout. Include the communications cabinet and Wi-Fi access points so power and data are planned together.
Compare complete scopes
Ask each quote to identify supply, installation, testing, access equipment and restoration. The figures here describe individual jobs, not a square-metre fit-out rate.
How to use these prices
We last checked these prices on 21 October 2026. They include GST and describe typical jobs; they aren’t an upper limit for complex work. When you compare quotes, check that each one covers the same scope, equipment and exclusions.

Common questions
Can you price an entire fit-out from an hourly rate?
An hourly rate alone leaves the materials and total time unknown. A defined layout and equipment list make a project quote much more useful.
Does Xcel cover large industrial installations?
This service is focused on shops, cafés, offices and small business premises. Send the job details so the appropriate scope can be confirmed.
How should I compare office fit-out quotes?
Use one layout and equipment list for each quote. Compare circuit work, point quantities, data testing, shutdowns and handover separately, then compare the complete GST-inclusive totals.
