Office fit-out costs in Riyadh typically range from SAR 900–1,600/m² for a standard fit-out (partitions, flooring, basic MEP, paint) to SAR 1,600–2,800/m² for a premium fit-out with executive finishes, advanced MEP, and custom joinery.
Office fit-out pricing is one of the most frequently searched cost questions in Riyadh’s commercial market, and the range is wide because “office fit-out” can mean very different scopes of work.
What’s Included at Each Tier
A shell-and-core-to-basic fit-out (simple partitions, standard flooring, basic lighting and MEP) falls in the SAR 900–1,300/m² range. A mid-tier fit-out adding better finishes, meeting room AV infrastructure, and improved MEP capacity runs SAR 1,300–1,900/m². A premium executive fit-out with custom joinery, branded finishes and advanced MEP (redundant power, advanced HVAC zoning) reaches SAR 1,900–2,800/m² and above.
What Moves the Number Most
MEP capacity (especially HVAC and electrical load for a modern office’s device density) and the ratio of enclosed offices to open-plan space both affect cost more than surface finishes do. Meeting rooms and executive offices, with more partitions and joinery per square meter, cost disproportionately more than open floor plates.
