What it costs

Market reference values: practically no company in this niche publishes prices. After visiting your space, we fix a real quote, in writing.

Space Market reference
Office Partitions, flooring, lighting, painting. The scope and the materials you choose drive the final figure. from €375 /m²
Commercial space (shop) Shopfronts, sales layout, customer area. Includes projects with more elaborate finishes. from €1,075 /m²

Source: market data for Portugal (2026), cross-checked between several sources to filter out outliers. This is not an ApartFix quote: your final figure depends on the condition of the space and the scope of the works.

What is at stake

Every week without the space ready is a team working under worse conditions, or a business that still has not opened.

In the Lisbon region alone, 1 in 5 new jobs come from international companies setting up, often with a tight deadline to have the office ready to use.

  • Business continuity We plan the works in phases or out of hours, so the team keeps working.
  • No-surprise pricing In this niche, almost nobody publishes figures. We show a real reference and fix the quote in writing before starting.
  • Expansion or move, without losing the timing Space delivered in time for the team or the business to start, not weeks later.
  • Legal 5-year guarantee Código Civil, Art. 1225º (the Portuguese Civil Code): your right, no small print.

Situations like yours, solved

Representative examples of the kind of project we take on.

Typical situation · office in operation, Lisbon
We could not close the office during the works. Every day of standstill was lost revenue, and we did not know whether the team could keep working with the works under way.

We planned the works in phases outside business hours, with a fixed price in writing before starting: no cash-flow surprises halfway through the project.

Talk on WhatsApp
Typical situation · shop in Lisbon, change of address
We needed to open at the new address before the lease on the old shop ended. Every week of overlapping rents cost us double, and we did not know if the works would meet that deadline.

We fixed a deadline in writing before starting, with verified stages: the shop opened within the overlap window the budget had planned for.

Frequently asked questions

They are average market values in Portugal, not a committed quote from us. This is a niche where practically no company publishes prices, so we share the reference we do have, to give you a realistic starting point. The final figure depends on the condition of the space, what you need and the complexity of the work. We visit and give you a fixed quote, in writing, before starting.

Yes. When the space needs to keep operating, we plan the works in phases or outside opening hours.

No. The fixed quote covers every planned stage, with any change of scope agreed in writing beforehand.

Yes. Under RJACSR (the Portuguese retail and services regime), offices and generic-use shops (clothing, stationery, appliances, etc.) share the same simple licensing category: a Comunicação Prévia Simples (simple prior notification) on ePortugal, with no additional technical requirements, as long as the works do not touch load-bearing walls. That is why we handle both in the same process.

Yes, we have a team dedicated to hospitality projects, which carry their own technical requirements (kitchen, extraction, accessibility). See the dedicated page.

The Portuguese legal guarantee for works on buildings is 5 years (Código Civil, Art. 1225º, the Portuguese Civil Code).
