Small office fitouts in Melbourne aren’t just about making a space look good — they’re about making every square metre work harder. At Agero, we specialise in transforming compact offices into high-performance, brand-aligned environments that elevate how teams work, collaborate and grow.
Whether you’re a startup, an established firm going hybrid, or simply want a space that reflects your professionalism without breaking the bank — the right office fitout can change everything.
Need proof? Here’s how it played out for someone just like you.
“We only had 58 square metres. But after our fitout, it felt like a whole new business.”
By Tom — Founder of a creative consultancy in Melbourne
When I first moved into our new office space in Fitzroy, I was just glad to have a door that locked and decent Wi-Fi. The place was small — 58 square metres — and filled with hand-me-down furniture, tangled cords, and big dreams.
We were growing fast but operating out of what felt like a glorified storeroom.
At first, I thought a full office fitout was overkill — something big firms in the CBD did with million-dollar budgets. But we were meeting clients in this space. I wanted the environment to reflect our brand — not fight against it.
That’s when someone recommended Agero.
What It’s Like to Work with a Fitout Specialist That Gets Small Spaces
From the first call, Agero approached the project with total clarity and care. There was no fluff. No pressure. Just smart questions about how we worked, what we needed, and how we wanted to grow.
They didn’t see a small office. They saw untapped potential.
The key changes that made the biggest impact:
- Zoning the space: They reconfigured the layout to separate focus work from collaboration — without sacrificing openness.
- Built-in storage: Custom joinery cleared our floors and minds. Everything had a place.
- Light and visual openness: Glass partitions and soft finishes made the office feel bright, modern, and way more spacious.
- Modular furniture: We can flip from client meeting to team workshop in under five minutes.
- Seamless tech: Every outlet, cable and screen was integrated. No more clunky cords or duct-taped solutions.
From Cramped to Considered
Before the fitout, our office felt like a compromise. After? It felt like a creative hub — one that energised the team and impressed every client who walked in.
We didn’t increase our square footage, but we completely changed how the space performed.
Productivity lifted. So did morale. And I found myself actually wanting to bring people into the space, instead of apologising for it.
What About Budget?
We weren’t working with a huge budget — and Agero never pushed us beyond it. Instead, they helped us:
- Prioritise spend on what mattered: lighting, ergonomics, flexibility
- Phase the fitout so we could manage cash flow
- Maximise every metre through clever design and quality materials
And because it was a fixed-price contract, there were no nasty surprises.
Why a Melbourne-Based Fitout Partner Mattered
Working with a local team made everything easier.
Agero understood the quirks of our building, dealt with council permits, managed the trade scheduling, and even knew how to avoid peak traffic in the laneway downstairs. That kind of local know-how saved us time, stress, and probably money too.
The Wrap-Up? Small Office, Huge Impact
This office is still only 58 square metres. But it now reflects our brand, supports our work, and gives us space to grow.
And the best part? Our team loves being here. It’s functional. Flexible. And it actually inspires us.
If you’re working in a small space in Melbourne and wondering whether a fitout is worth it — trust me, it is.
