FAQ

How much does a café or restaurant fitout cost in Australia?
Fitout costs vary based on size and complexity. On average, a mid-range hospitality fitout in Australia ranges from $2,500 to $4,000 per square metre. At Petra Group, we provide transparent, itemized quotes that cover everything from shop fittings to commercial-grade kitchen equipment to help you stay within budget.
How long does the typical fitout process take?
Most hospitality projects take between 8 to 16 weeks from the initial design phase to the grand opening. This timeline includes concept design, local council approvals (DA/CDC), procurement of materials, and the actual on-site construction and equipment installation.
Do I need council approval for my restaurant fitout?
Yes, most fitouts require approval from your Local Government Area (LGA) to ensure compliance with health, safety, and building codes. We assist with the necessary paperwork and ensure your design meets Australian Standard AS 4674-2004 (Design, construction, and fit-out of food premises) for a seamless approval process.
Can you help with both the front-of-house design and back-of-house equipment?
Absolutely. We specialize in end-to-end solutions. This means we design your dining area for maximum customer experience while simultaneously engineering a high-efficiency commercial kitchen with the latest appliances and stainless steel fabrication.
What are the essential regulations I need to be aware of?
In Australia, hospitality venues must comply with strict standards regarding ventilation (exhaust hoods), grease traps, food safety zones, and disability access (DDA compliance). Our team ensures every inch of your shop fitting meets these legal requirements so you can trade with peace of mind.
