Turnkey office interior design and build

TECO designs and builds turnkey office interiors for companies in leased Grade A, B and C buildings, shophouse offices and company-owned headquarters. One contractor from space planning, joinery, power – air-conditioning – data to building-management submissions and fire safety (PCCC) acceptance.

TECO makes its own joinery in-house, builds with its own crews and keeps its own maintenance team after handover, so we hold reasonable rates for small and medium businesses while meeting building and fire-safety standards in full. Interior design VND 150,000–350,000/m², waived in full or in part when TECO builds. Construction VND 2–8 million/m², typically 25–50 days.

Two kinds of office we build

Factory and industrial-park offices are a separate service: see Factory office design and build.

Turnkey office interiors: how TECO keeps rates reasonable

An office interior project has many work packages: ceiling, floor and wall finishes, joinery, electrical, internet, CCTV, audio, access control, air-conditioning, ventilation, plumbing and fire protection. Costs usually climb because each package goes to a different vendor, each adding a layer of management and margin. TECO works differently:

• We make it ourselves. Desks, cabinets, counters and partitions come from our 1,300 m² CNC-equipped joinery workshop; frames and steel components from our 1,200 m² steel workshop. Nothing is bought in from outside workshops. All joinery made at the TECO workshop carries a 24-month warranty.
• We build it ourselves, on the committed schedule. Finishing, MEP and fire-protection crews are TECO staff. Quality and schedule are managed with software down to each work item, and TECO engineers sign off every package before handover.
• Architects, MEP engineers and certified fire-safety staff in one company. Drawings match from day one, the fire-safety dossier is prepared once, and no outside consultants are hired.
• Full legal capability. Class II Construction Capability Certificate (HCM-00062710); TECO prepares building-management submissions, fire-safety dossiers and acceptance, and renovation permits for company-owned premises.
• Warranty and maintenance through TECO MSC, available 24/7. After handover, TECO MSC’s professional maintenance team handles warranty, periodic maintenance and repairs, so you never have to find outside tradesmen. TECO MSC currently maintains hundreds of facilities for OCB and Vietbank, the Apollo English network and international schools across southern Vietnam.

The same quality we deliver to leading Japanese companies, FDI firms, banks and international schools, now for domestic businesses at reasonable rates.

Why companies choose TECO for their offices

• Own 1,300 m² CNC-equipped joinery workshop: workstations, cabinets, reception counters, partitions and doors made in-house, with consistent colours and materials and the schedule under our control; 24-month joinery warranty.
• Built on the committed schedule: TECO’s own crews; quality and schedule managed with software down to every work detail. After-hours and weekend work while the building or office stays in operation.
• Fire protection in the same package: system adjustment to the new layout, dossier and fire safety acceptance.
• Architects, MEP engineers and certified fire-safety staff in one company: interior and power – air-conditioning – fire drawings match from day one, with no rework on site.
• Class II Construction Capability Certificate No. HCM-00062710 for design and construction of civil and industrial works.
• After handover: warranty, periodic maintenance and repairs through TECO MSC, a professional team available 24/7, currently maintaining hundreds of facilities for OCB, Vietbank, Apollo English and international schools in the South.
• FDI clients and Grade A buildings: Baxter (Diamond Plaza), Glass Egg, Osprey, JLL, Stanley Black & Decker – familiar with building-management approvals and working-hour rules.
• LEED-standard design on request: many FDI companies must meet LEED under group policy. TECO designs and builds office interiors to LEED criteria – low-emitting materials, energy-efficient lighting and air-conditioning, fresh air and indoor air quality, construction-waste sorting – and works with a partner certification consultant on the registration dossier.

Scope of the design & build package

Office design & build rates

The lower end applies when the floor already has a ceiling and air-conditioning, existing power and data can be reused and joinery uses standard materials. The upper end applies to bare-shell floors, many private rooms and meeting rooms, or premium materials. Survey and quotation are free in Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provinces.

Construction time

Office interiors typically take 25–50 days depending on size and floor condition. A 100–200 m² office on a floor with ceiling and air-conditioning in place sits at the lower end; offices from 500 m² or on bare-shell floors take longer. The handover date is fixed in the contract, and we work after hours and at weekends to hold it.

Offices in Grade A and B buildings

Office buildings have their own fit-out rules. TECO submits the fit-out documents to building management before mobilising and works strictly to the rules:

• Noisy work, drilling and cutting are done outside office hours and at weekends.
• Materials and debris are moved at night through the service lift on the building’s schedule.
• Dust screening and protection of lobbies, corridors and lifts.
• Worker registration and safety documents as required by building management.
• Fire protection and air-conditioning adjusted to the new layout, tied into the base building, with fire safety acceptance.

Company-owned headquarters

With an owned building or a shophouse converted to a headquarters there is no building management handling the base systems. TECO surveys the existing structure, power, plumbing and fire systems, proposes what to keep and what to replace, files the renovation or construction permit if the structure changes, and installs a standalone fire system with appraisal and acceptance dossiers. Interiors are done as for a leased office.

Renovating and expanding an occupied office

An office in use can still be renovated: TECO splits the floor into zones, works after hours and sets up temporary seating so your team keeps working. Typical items: new seating layout, extra meeting rooms, new ceilings and floors, upgraded power, data and air-conditioning.

Our 6-step process

1. Survey – headcount, ways of working, floor condition, building rules or headquarters condition
2. Space planning – work areas, meeting rooms, pantry, escape routes
3. 3D design and technical drawings – renderings, material samples, construction drawings, building submission, fire protection dossier
4. Quotation and contract – itemised quantities, committed schedule
5. Construction – joinery made in the workshop, site work after hours under building rules
6. Acceptance and handover – fire safety acceptance, handover, maintenance
