Office interiors in Delhi: design and build
Officea designs and builds office interiors in Delhi with one team, from the first layout to handover. Officea's Delhi studio sits at Nehru Place, in the heart of one of the city's oldest commercial hubs. From here we plan and build offices across Nehru Place, Connaught Place, Okhla, Mohan Cooperative and the wider NCT.
Studio address: 505, 5th Floor, Saraswati House, 27 Nehru Place, New Delhi 110019
Where we work in Delhi
Connaught Place and Barakhamba Road
Delhi's traditional business district. The colonnaded blocks of the inner and outer circles house banks, law firms, consultancies and head offices, while Barakhamba Road and Kasturba Gandhi Marg have older high-rise office towers. Floors are often strata-owned with older services and tight loading access, but Rajiv Chowk, on the Yellow and Blue Lines, makes it the easiest address in the city for staff to reach.
Nehru Place
A DDA-planned district centre best known as Delhi's IT and electronics market. Office stock is mostly older mid-rise blocks with small to mid-size floors, used by technology firms, resellers and mid-size companies that want a South Delhi address without Connaught Place rents. Our studio is here, close to Nehru Place station on the Violet Line.
Jasola District Centre
Newer commercial towers off Mathura Road with larger, more regular floor plates. Many buildings come with central air conditioning, sprinklers and building management already in place, which suits corporate and back-office teams that want modern floors inside Delhi. Jasola Apollo station on the Violet Line is close by.
Okhla and Mohan Cooperative
Former industrial estates where many plots have been rebuilt or converted into office buildings. Occupiers range from export houses and media companies to technology and back-office teams. Buildings vary plot by plot: some are modern commercial blocks, others are converted factories where power, toilets and fire systems need upgrading before a fit-out.
Saket District Centre
Office towers sit beside the malls and hotels, mostly in newer, better-serviced buildings. It suits companies that want a South Delhi address with modern floors and amenities nearby, and the Yellow Line stations at Saket and Malviya Nagar are a short ride away.
Aerocity
The hospitality district beside IGI Airport, with office blocks between the hotels. Aviation and travel companies, consultancies and the India offices of international firms use it for the airport and the Airport Express Line. Buildings are recent, so fit-outs usually start from a warm shell with central services.
We also work in district centres such as Netaji Subhash Place and Janakpuri, and across the rest of the NCT.
What shapes a fit-out in Delhi
Delhi's offices range from 1930s colonnades to recent glass towers, and the same fit-out brief plays out very differently in each. These are the conditions we plan for on every Delhi project.
Two very different building stocks
In Connaught Place, Nehru Place and Okhla, many floors are strata-owned and handed back as the last tenant left them, often with split or window AC history, limited riser space and shallow ceiling voids. Work starts with strip-out and a services survey. In Jasola, Saket and Aerocity, more floors come as warm shell with central chilled water and sprinklers, so the work is mainly interiors and tie-ins to building services.
Building rules and working hours
Occupied buildings commonly restrict drilling, cutting and hacking to evenings, nights or Sundays, and need goods-lift bookings and a material gate pass from the maintenance office. Many ask for drawings, a method statement and a refundable deposit before work starts. We collect these rules at the site survey and build them into the programme.
Fire and power approvals
Changes to sprinklers, detectors and exits must stay consistent with the building's fire NOC from the Delhi Fire Service, and the building's fire team usually reviews them. If you need more power than the floor's sanctioned load, the enhancement goes through the area's discom (BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, Tata Power-DDL, or NDMC in the New Delhi area), which can take weeks, so we raise it early.
Winter air quality and GRAP
When Delhi's air quality turns severe, usually between October and January, the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) can restrict construction and demolition activity. We schedule demolition, cutting and other dust-heavy work early in the programme, use wet cutting and dust screens, and keep buffers in winter schedules.
Heat, monsoon and HVAC
Summer temperatures regularly pass 40°C and July to September is humid. Air conditioning is sized for summer peaks with treated fresh air for the monsoon, and VRF systems with heat-pump mode are a common choice so the same units warm the office in December and January. Better filtration on fresh air helps during high-pollution weeks.
Logistics and labour
Goods vehicles face daytime no-entry hours on many Delhi roads, so bulk deliveries usually arrive at night or early morning. Delhi NCR has a deep vendor base for furniture, glass, ceilings and MEP, which keeps lead times short. Site labour typically thins out around Holi and the Diwali to Chhath period, so we plan around those weeks.
What we deliver in Delhi
Survey before design
For older Connaught Place, Nehru Place and Okhla floors, a measured survey of ceiling voids, risers, power and fire systems comes before any layout is drawn.
Design that fits the building
Layouts and services are worked to the existing column grid, risers and fire layout, so the design gets through the building's review without rework.
Civil, MEP and fire under one contract
Strip-out, electrical, HVAC, fire and plumbing, coordinated with the maintenance office and the building's fire team.
Project management from Nehru Place
One project lead, a programme built around building hours and winter GRAP risk, and handover documents ready for your facilities team.

Common questions about office interiors in Delhi
Do you have a studio in Delhi?
Yes. Our Delhi studio is at 505, 5th Floor, Saraswati House, 27 Nehru Place, New Delhi 110019, a short walk from Nehru Place metro station on the Violet Line. You can visit to review layouts, materials and samples, and our team travels from here to sites across Delhi for surveys, progress meetings and handover.
Which parts of Delhi do you cover?
We work across the NCT, including Connaught Place and Barakhamba Road, Nehru Place, Jasola, Okhla, Mohan Cooperative, Saket, Aerocity, Netaji Subhash Place and Janakpuri. For offices just across the border we have separate studios in Gurgaon and Noida, so the whole of Delhi NCR is covered by a nearby team.
How long does an office fit-out take in Delhi?
It depends on size, finish level and the building. A warm-shell floor in Jasola or Aerocity moves fastest. Older floors in Connaught Place or Nehru Place often need strip-out and electrical or fire upgrades first, which can add a week or two. For reference, our 10,000 sq ft Noida office was handed over in 43 days. Winter programmes also allow for possible GRAP restrictions.
Can fit-out work happen during office hours in Delhi buildings?
Usually only quiet work. Most occupied buildings in Delhi limit drilling, hacking and cutting to evenings, nights or Sundays, and many need goods-lift bookings and a gate pass for every material delivery. Rules differ from building to building, so we get them in writing from the maintenance office at the survey stage and plan the programme around them.
What approvals does a Delhi office fit-out need?
Typically three: the landlord's or building association's approval of your drawings, the building fire team's sign-off on any change to sprinklers, detectors or exits so they stay within the Delhi Fire Service NOC, and a load enhancement from the local discom if the floor's sanctioned power is too low. We prepare the drawings and paperwork and track each approval in the schedule.
What does an office interior cost in Delhi?
Our published 2026 rate card for Delhi runs from ₹1,800 per sq ft for a Basic finish to ₹4,500 per sq ft for a High-end finish, GST extra, furniture included. Older central Delhi buildings can need more civil and electrical work than a new tower. See office interior cost per sq ft in Delhi for worked budgets and a calculator.
