Welcome to the 2019/20 edition of our EMEA Fit-Out Cost Guide, which has led the market as the most comprehensive analysis of fit-out pricing in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, for the past seven years.

Since its introduction in 2013, the Guide has been tried and tested by the entire industry. This level of rigour has allowed us to fine tune the Guide into its most comprehensive evolution yet, just as CBRE continues to lead the way in corporate real estate fit-out. The Fit-Out Cost Guide is a powerful tool created as a swift solution to a host of estimating and benchmarking requirements, such as high-level capex estimations, and challenging third party and contractor costings. This year’s edition contains even more quality data, in part thanks to CBRE’s partnership with African Project Management firm, Profica. As such, our already keen insight into the African and Middle Eastern market is enhanced, enabling us to provide global clients with even more commercial confidence. CBRE has invested in numerous other acquisitions and partnerships across the region, including CBRE Excellerate in Africa and the Middle East, Ramot in Israel and Geico Lender in Italy, all adding to our ability to deliver world-class services across EMEA.

In 2018, CBRE made notable investment in Kahua, our cloud-based and collaborative project management solution. Since then, our use of the tool has matured and it is now being effectively deployed to streamline our project management processes, generating insightful reports and increasing productivity. This is just one example of the significant investments we are making in technology, helping our teams and customers to perform better.

Our position as thought leaders of the projects industry is enabled by our talented and diverse team. Our people are at the centre of our strategy and our notably low attrition rate is testament to CBRE’s commitment to retaining and developing our EMEA project team. We are proud to have a diverse team, who bring multiple languages, backgrounds, skills and cultures that enhance our services and solutions.

Our clients are demanding an increasingly integrated project solution, from project governance, to programme management, to principal contracting and move management – all seamlessly delivered by a single provider. CBRE is a world leader in project management, and we are proud to be able to deliver this fully integrated offering. Through our ever-increasing global presence, our agile response to the changing market, and our commitment to nurturing talent and investing in technology, CBRE remains your ideal partner to provide projects guidance to the entire industry.

Finally, I want to give my sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Fit-Out Cost Guide, and thank you for your continued engagement with our work. We hope you enjoy this edition.

3. Enhanced User ExperienceCurrently only a third of organisations have a formal User Experience (UX) strategy or plan to introduce one. For those that do, 63% view it as a key competitive advantage and nearly half see it as part of a wider change programme.

Over a third of organisations have plans to hire a UX lead, so it seems likely that the number of formal UX programmes will rise. The priorities are again people focused; improved collaboration; productivity gains and talent retention and attraction.

The emphasis on aspects of environment such as thermal comfort, security and amenities point towards a current focus on the physical elements of the building. Although community elements, for instance internal events and volunteering opportunities, attract a much lower rating these aims are often satisfied by other means.

We expect formal UX programmes to become both more widely adopted and much more extensive in their scope.

Perhaps not unexpectedly, the greatest challenge facing building occupiers over the last 12 months has been economic uncertainty, according to the CBRE 2019 EMEA Occupier Survey. This is particularly true for those in the professional services industry, although challenges vary across different sectors: technology companies are most concerned with workforce/talent preferences, whereas banking and finance companies see technology as the main challenge and for life sciences, the main concern is tightening regulation and legislation.

TRENDS OBSERVED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS*

There is a growing concern relating to the shortage of skilled labour. To address this particular concern, organisations have identified four key areas through which they can enhance their appeal to prospective employees: Procurement & Fit-out, Flexible Space, User Experience and Technology.

1. Procurement & Fit-Out – Towards more user-friendly buildingsIn last year’s survey, cost-reduction was the single most important driver of corporate real estate strategy, with employee engagement coming fourth. This year cost reduction has dropped to fourth position, employee engagement has risen to second and talent attraction and development to third. In short, people are becoming an increasingly important consideration.

It looks increasingly as though buildings that offer an adaptable mix of fit-out types, traditional vs. flexible space, diverse working environments, price points and amenity. These, as well as those which are technology enabled, will compete best for occupiers.

2. Flexible Space – On the riseThere is continued growth in corporate demand for flexible space, with 45% of companies expecting to make significant use of flexible space over the next three years, compared with 25% currently in use.

The main motives for utilisation of flexible workspace are cost reduction and accommodating short-term demand increases. However the use of flexible space for attracting and retaining talent is becoming a key agenda item. Nearly a further third of employers see it as a way of testing alternate workspace models. Companies increasingly view flexible space as a way of supporting their talent agenda, and in many cases are still at an experimental stage of deciding the best approach.

We anticipate that hybrid solutions offering a balance of dedicated offices, meeting spaces and small co-working areas will prove increasingly popular. Over 50% of professional services companies intend to make significant use of hybrid space over the next three years compared to only 30% of life science companies.

4. Technology – Aligning technology and talentTechnology strategy involving buildings, skills and process design continues to be a major area of focus. 60% of companies expect technological innovation to have a high or very high impact on their operations over the next three years. 85% ranked artificial intelligence and machine learning in their top three technology concerns.

70% intend to raise their level of investment in real estate technology in the next few years. This is particularly the case for banking & finance companies.

Currently the two most popular real estate technologies are smart building sensors for occupancy management and energy management controls. By contrast, future intentions for real estate technology investment focus on occupant navigation apps and Internet of Things, both of which are more people-centric applications.

The terms ‘traditional’ and ‘agile’ refer here to the design of office interiors, usually reflecting the function and culture of the occupying organisation. There is, of course, a broad spectrum of workplace models in existence across the region, but these can be distilled broadly into these two types.

TRADITIONAL

The traditional layout is characterised by the space having a large number of private offices, the size, location and specification of which are determined by the occupier’s status within the organisation. Executive assistants typically sit directly outside their managers’ offices, while the rest of the workforce is accommodated either in open plan or group rooms with no desk sharing. Desks tend to be large and often incorporate furniture screens to provide an element of privacy.

There is usually a high dependency on paper storage in these environments and little in the way of supplementary workspaces, apart from a suite of predominantly large meeting rooms.

AGILE

The agile layout is characterised by a wide range of work settings which support ‘activity based working’. This is a shared working environment with few, if any, desks or rooms allocated to individuals. Personal lockers are provided in place of under-desk pedestals.

The space is designed to foster high-levels of interaction and knowledge sharing by providing a wide choice of meeting spaces, both open and enclosed. A number of small rooms and semi-enclosed spaces support the need for individual focused work. The emphasis of the agile workplace is very much on the user experience and the wellness and wellbeing of employees. The space itself is designed to be flexible, adaptable and dynamic.

TraditionalArea schedule

Agile

This guide presents general arrangements of an office floor plate of 1,000 sq m (10,764 sq ft) usable area to suit both traditional and agile ways of working.

The workplace settings in the traditional layout focuses more on private work settings. The agile layout reflect the collaborative and flexible work environment.

It is likely many businesses will choose a hybrid of the two working styles depending on their needs and operations. The three specification levels – low, medium and high – are outlined in the following pages and are compatible with either layout.

These layouts have been priced locally within each market to capture the costing information along with typical procurement and programme data. Prices for each of the 64 EMEA locations identified in this guide are based on the following assumptions:

• The building is located in a central business district

• The space leased is in good CAT A condition and costs are based on a full new CAT B fit-out

• Costs take into account a reconfiguration of existing CAT A installations to suit the CAT B design and upgrades where stated in the specification

• The base building and CAT B design are considered to hold no abnormalities

• The costs assume that the base-build and landlord provided CAT A has the necessary infrastructure (e.g. sufficient HVAC and power) to support the intended fit-out

• This is a generic design which does not take into account cultural differences and country specific space planning considerations or local regulations

• The base date for the pricing information in this document is August 2019

• All pricing is in Euros and exchange rates are accurate to August 2019

• Pricing is based on the construction costs for the agile layout. The cost variance with the traditional layout is marginal; as a benchmark (from data collection) the traditional layout construction costs are on average 5% more expensive

CATEGORY A FIT-OUT (WARM SHELL) CATEGORY B FIT-OUT (TENANT FIT-OUT)

• Raised access floor • Suspended ceiling• Mechanical and electrical services above the ceiling from the riser to

The CAT B cost data for the three levels of fit-out specification have been normalised across all locations for the agile layout.

Using this data, the adjacent table outlines the CAT B construction costs of the 1,000 sq m agile layout illustrated on pages 6 – 12.

Our pricing data indicates that the traditional layout is on average 5% more expensive due to increased partitioning and M&E associated with greater cellularisation of the space.

NOTEAll prices have been aligned to show CAT B construction costs only.

Includes: internal partitions, M&E reconfiguration, doors and ironmongery, wall, floor and ceiling finishes, specialist joinery, fixtures and fittings, structured cabling and comms room fit-out, internal signage, branding, contractor preliminaries and overhead and profit.

Excludes: technology (page 17), furniture (page 21), professional fees (page 24), contingencies and taxes.

* CAT B construction works may be delivered by the landlord in these locations and associated costs could be factored in the lease agreement.

All costs shown are in sq m, to convert these to sq ft: 1 sq m = 10.764 sq ft.

IT

Tenants’ IT installations typically include structured cabling (included in the Cat B construction costs), wired and wireless network equipment.

Desktop and laptop computers, multiple monitors and desk phones are considered user’s equipment and typically don’t sit within the fit-out budget; however, the placement of these components is essential to any workplace strategy. Clients’ existing equipment may not enable changes in the working styles and practices that are often the driving force behind office relocations, so proper advice should be taken on how to engage with the latest technology early in the planning stages.

Wi-Fi technology is sufficiently reliable as a primary method of connectivity for user devices within an agile working environment, but there will always be a requirement for a structured cabling system. Structured cabling will typically be installed within the raised floor and ceiling void to provide connection for fixed IT, AV, security and other IP (Internet Protocol) based products. The growth in integrated and smart buildings is motivating an increase in IP devices that are network connected.This will need to be given due consideration when producing technology budgets.

As more and more systems become IP-based the reliance on connectivity to the Local Area Network (LAN) means that switches and firewalls are typically procured new rather than relocated during an office move. One of the drivers for this is that contractors are reliant on network connectivity to commission IP-based building systems.

Wireless access points installed within or beneath the ceiling void will provide users with connectivity to the Internet and the resources they need to work anywhere within the office. Full Wi-Fi coverage within the office is a key requirement for traditional and agile office working environments.

It is critical that IT budgeting is considered early in the project and with a holistic view in order to achieve the savings that smart building technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) and systems can offer.

A digitally enabled office is no longer the domain of tech giants, but of businesses across all sectors. Companies must accept that what was once optional, is now inevitable.

Office space is now a service, made to fit business strategies where productivity is synonymous with technology enabled collaboration, and employees demand modern conveniences and seamless technology integration so they can focus on the tasks at hand. Driving this technology investment shift is the demand for a unified visual display and communication platform.

To collaborate, people need places to connect. However this is a fundamental need and employees are demanding more from their workplace; they expect high-speed Wi-Fi, wireless charging, personalisation, online room booking, environmental controls and so on, hence companies evolving to deliver these in order to attract and retain talent. As a result, 70% of companies plan to increase investment in real estate technology within the next three years, and 30% see smart building technology as a factor in choosing a building1.

Investment in workplace technology was growing steadily for several years until, unexpectedly, in 2018 we saw a doubling of spend in workplace technology. This can be attributed to a combination of increased adoption and implementation of workplace strategy, and environments being designed for collaboration.

PTS Consulting has reported that technology spend on office projects has increased 200% in the last 18 months. In market-leading technology projects, it is not usual for technology spend allocation to account for up to 40% of the total budget. It is important to note that although office space saw expected inflationary increase in cost between 2015 and 2017, the sharp rise in 2018 is due in large part to the notable increase in technology specification.

The technology to create a more efficient workplace is now in our hands, or more accurately, in our smartphones. To achieve corporate goals, company strategies have to drive the technology which should be designed and oriented to support how we work, how we connect with colleagues, and how to make routine and administrative actions simple, allowing greater productivity. The step-change of unified communication and display technology in commercial offices is just the beginning.

The next step-change in technology investment spending could be just around the corner.

Technology enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices make it possible to collect data from all aspects of the corporate office, including BMS, security, lighting, meeting rooms and furniture to name a few. All are sources of data; however, it is not until information is analysed and used properly that it benefits people and the business. In smart offices, data can and is being collected to help create a more efficient workplaces and reduce carbon footprints.

Strategies to achieve business goals are being rewritten. The goals of productivity and profitability remain; however, the journey and the platform to achieve these are changing. Companies are asking:

• What does 'smart' building mean for me?• What does 'smart' office mean for

my business?• What is our 'smart' vision and how does

this support our corporate strategies?

Answering these questions and developing a technology brief that supports corporate strategies will provide the basis for developing 'space as a service' and the journey towards developing a suitable smart office.

The commercial office industry is recognising technology as a core requirement of an attractive, collaborative work environment. Due to the criticality of integrated technologies and smart workplaces, there's an increasing demand for project management teams with the right technical skillset to get the brief, budget, design and implementation right. This is important when a 'result-oriented workforce' demands a superior knowledge-based work environments that improve productivity and allow connection, collaboration and inspiration. These effects also reach landlords who want to have desirable assets. Demands have evolved from sustainable and green buildings to providing infrastructure to accommodate smart offices.

We are transitioning to a new office experience that demands an evolution of the standard commercial building and transformation of our physical space.

AUDIO VISUAL

The use of Audio Visual (AV) continues to rise in commercial real estate to facilitate improved collaboration between offices. This rapidly advancing technology is now included as standard specification in meeting rooms and huddle spaces.

In agile office environments, AV is used across the office space to create a range of platforms that enable users to connect and collaborate.

In traditional spaces, AV systems are found in meeting room areas only. The increase in available technology such as Microsoft Teams, Webex and Zoom should be taken into consideration in new project developments to ensure the user experience is maximised.

The below matrix provides an overview of the core AV infrastructure and installations which users can expect to find in each specification level.

AV COST – TRADITIONAL(Excludes taxes and contingency)

Low €60/sq mMedium €100/sq mHigh €180/sq m

AV COST – AGILE(Excludes taxes and contingency)

Low €85/sq mMedium €130/sq mHigh €245/sq m

SECURITY

Occupier security systems normally consist of electronic access control and CCTV.

Both systems will typically connect over the structured cabling and network infrastructure. This removes the need for multiple types of cable and provides opportunities to interface the security systems with other Internet Protocol (IP) based systems. This enables data to be collated, and workflows created, thus forming the basis of a smart building.

The access control and CCTV systems monitor the points of entry into the tenant’s office demise and secure areas including the server rooms, HR offices, confidential spaces or secure storage. In a multi-tenanted building, the landlord will have installed security systems to manage access to the main building and common areas. The tenant security system can operate as a standalone system or interface with a compatible landlord system. This can streamline system administration and enhance the visitor management process.

NUDGE BETTER BEHAVIOURS

A nudge is never about taking choice away from somebody. It’s about making the best obvious and easy choice. One way to nudge people to make a healthier choice is by encouraging them to ditch the lift in favour of climbing stairs.

A Harvard study found that taking eight flights of stairs a day lowers average early mortality risk by 33 percent. The key is making the staircase a central element in the building, so people are drawn to take the steps.

GIVE EMPLOYEES CONTROL

Another way to reduce workplace stress is to give people control over their physical workspace and furnishings.

At the individual level, it can involve letting people choose a space for the task at hand, so they can do their best individual work and or providing furnishings that can be moved to adjust to someone’s body or workstyle. The move to agile working has radically changed the furniture solution offered in the workplace in recent years, with team spaces, individual work stations, focus rooms and more variety of work settings on offer for employees, depending on the task at hand. Height-adjustable desks and shared storage not only allow people to work how and where best suits them, but also encourage movement around the office.

At the organisational level, culture and policies should be put in place which give employees permission to choose a range of workspaces that best meets their needs.

REDUCE STRESS LEVELS

Beyond movement and healthier choices, the interior design of a building can play a role in reducing stress. A person’s body reacts automatically to stressful events, like deadlines, by releasing hormones into the bloodstream. The most dangerous is cortisol, part of the body’s natural fight-or-flight mechanism. Elevated cortisol levels are tied to a host of health issues, from heart disease to lower cognitive abilities.

Providing opportunities to connect to nature in the workplace can help. Studies have shown that taking at least 20 minutes out of your day to stroll or sit in a place that makes you feel connected with nature will significantly lower stress hormone levels.

Giving workers power over small adjustments in their individual work environment, and creating an office environment which encourages movement, not only increases collaboration, but ultimately enhances wellbeing across an organisation.

Using physical elements to de-stress the workplace.

As employers grapple with rising healthcare costs, an area historically often overlooked as contributing to employee health and well-being is the workplace. Aside from lunchtime yoga and salads on the cafeteria menu, the approach to well-being at work often fails to look at the bigger picture and address the underlying issues that contribute to poor health: a sedentary lifestyle and work-related stress.

SO HOW CAN A BUILDING MAKE PEOPLE HEALTHIER?

With training in psychology and architecture, Haworth’s Dr. Michael O’Neill has spent decades researching the connection between buildings, worker health and performance. He advocates for a combination of 'nudge' and 'micro-controls' that help employees make better decisions.

BUSINESS TRANSITION & MOVE MANAGEMENT

CBRE Milan Office

Careful organisation and sequence planning is essential to minimise disruption. This usually involves a move consultant working with a range of client department representatives to plan for and accommodate activities critical for business continuity and movement of employees, furniture and equipment.

The move consultant is responsible for all aspects of change management and implements a comprehensive communications plan to ensure everyone affected is kept up to date with proposals and has input into the project, ensuring where possible that their needs are met.

They also work with a client-specified physical move provider, or leverage CBRE’s preferred supplier list, acting as principal to command preferential rates.

CBRE’s Business Transition and Move Management service is available globally, with best practice shared across regions and sectors including banking/finance, technology, retail, pharmaceutical, industrial and legal. Using the latest technology, CBRE maintains up-to-date client space allocation data at all times, and workplace specialists work with clients to optimise space utilisation, ensuring best value throughout the project and a successful outcome.

Beyond business transition, clients often require clearing or disposal of redundant furniture and fittings. CBRE's accreditation to BS EN ISO 14001 provides an environmental management system that allows management of the entire clearance process on a client's behalf. CBRE seeks to re-use, re-purpose, donate or environmentally dispose of surplus furniture and effects, taking full legal responsibility and promoting client corporate social responsibility.

Move management and physical relocation of employees and their belongings is an integral part of a CAT B project and takes place during and upon completion of the fit-out works. Moves have the potential to disrupt business continuity, which can impact productivity.

A tenant’s liability is defined by the terms of the individual lease and the nature of local property markets. In some countries where the landlord provides the fit-out, they will take on most obligations to repair it, reflecting the cost in the rent. In others, the tenant is responsible for reversing any alterations made.

The lease defines the tenant’s reinstatement liability. However, a landlord may or may not enforce the terms of the lease and instead decide to accept a financial settlement. In some locations it is not the culture to pursue potential claims. As a result, leases and responsibilities are rarely alike and generalising is difficult. It is, therefore, important to review each case individually and note that the figures in the adjacent table will not reflect every situation.

Here, the likely nature of the lease reinstatement obligations has been identified and the typical cost of completing works to comply with the tenant’s responsibilities has been calculated, assuming moderate wear based on a 1,000 sq m office.

International Accounting Standards – IFRS 16

From 1 January 2019, new international accounting standards mean companies are obliged to show the assets and liabilities of any lease on their balance sheet. This requires accurate assessment of restoration costs.

There can be huge variance in the estimated quantum of this restoration cost from lease to lease and from country to country. If you hold assets across multiple countries, CBRE’s specialist dilapidations team can help you budget accurately for these liabilities. We can ensure you comply with this aspect of the Lease Accounting Standards and avoid under or overstating these obligations.

Lease reinstatement (also known as ‘dilapidations’) is the process whereby tenants are obliged to restore the space to a pre-agreed state at the end of the lease term.

28EMEA FIT-OUT COST GUIDE CBRE PROJECT MANAGEMENT27

REINSTATEMENTKey Assumptions

1. All tenant chattels (furniture, AV, IT and security, etc.) are removed by the tenant and the cost of removal is therefore excluded from the rates

2. Where stated all tenant fit-out and alterations are to be removed and none are retained by the landlord as improvements

3. No allowance is made for loss of rent, non -recoverable VAT or professional fees not directly related to the reinstatement costs

4. Base date for prices and exchange rates is August 2019

5. All works will be undertaken as a single contract and within normal working hours

6. General wear and tear rather than major disrepair will be present to the floor

7. Tenants are on internal repairing leases and therefore only have a responsibility within their demise which does not extend to any elements of the common parts (structure, frame, sanitary accommodation, windows, central M&E plant)

8. The space was provided on a standard UK CAT A basis with suspended ceilings, raised access floor and carpet

9. No structural reinstatement works are needed

NOTE

In some emerging markets lease reinstatement is in its infancy. Consequently, it is not possible to draw conclusions for the reinstatement estimates for countries not listed on this schedule.

PROCUREMENT & PROGRAMMEUnderstanding how a project will be procured, and the length of time required to complete each of the key milestones is critical to developing an accurate business case. Lead times and task durations can vary significantly from one country to the next. This can have a material impact on the viability of a business case and ultimate decision on whether to proceed with a project.

Depending on the location, key parameters to consider include: local standards, procurement strategy, statutory approvals and regulations, lead time, importation, religious festivals and public holidays, as well as internal client approvals and sign-off gateways. This local understanding may prompt a review or a project’s procurement or phasing strategy to maintain and achieve the desired programme, while minimising business impact.

While furniture is often seen as a small part of the overall project, it typically has a major impact on end-user satisfaction, so it is important to understand furniture lead times and any import restrictions to make due allowance for these in the programme. The impact of Brexit is still unclear and extra consideration may need to be given to projects in the UK. Products are often sourced from across the region and new restrictions may have a tangible impact on lead times and budgets.

It is also important to consult IT, Security and AV teams so that install, testing and commissioning periods can be programmed in line with the desired completion date.

CBRE recommends obtaining professional programme advice as early as possible regarding the delivery strategy. This advice may come from a programme manager at the initial capital planning stage, or a local project manager who can support the transaction team when developing business case strategies.

CBRE’s programme and project specialist teams across EMEA have provided information relating to the key milestones of our medium specification 1,000 sq m fit-out project. The graph overleaf illustrates typical timeframes for completing fit-out using the most common procurement route in each location.

CAPITAL PLANNINGThe cost of real estate assets is a significant consideration for most businesses, and often investment in real estate is based on ‘triggers’. These include: lease dates, user requirements, maintenance, regulatory requirements and headcount changes.

Projects are often initiated to solve short-term objectives, and fail to consider how the investment impacts the wider portfolio.

Capital planning, illustrated opposite, is the holistic process of understanding a portfolio of assets, then developing a long-term investment plan for those assets. Through collaboration of real estate teams and the wider organisation, the projects pipeline can be aligned with the organisations wider strategic goals. This means the right projects are done at the right time for the right reasons. The process starts long before the initiation of any one project and continues beyond completion via continuous reporting of the portfolio’s performance and ongoing occupancy costs.

The main outputs from the capital planning process are:

• An optimised pipeline of projects prioritised according to company objectives

• Budgets and programmes that align with business requirements and real estate strategies

• Forecasted operational expenditure, depreciation and P&L analysis to assist in decision making

Effective capital planning can provide a competitive advantage by enabling an organisation to gain a better understanding of its property portfolio, overarching strategy and associacted P&L impact. This enables better decision making, resulting in improved outcomes.

OUTCOMES

Although organisations differ, the benefits of capital planning are universal:

• Operational expenditure efficiencies

• Better understanding of property portfolio and overarching strategy

• More informed decisions, resulting in improved investment outcomes

• Accurate resource planning

• Improved facility management

• Economy of scale on purchasing for common project items

• Early consideration of procurement methods

• Effective capital spend management and cost and risk reduction

• Focused cash flow and depreciation forecasting

• Year-to-year business optimisation

CBRE provides capital planning expertise to add value to clients across the globe. Our highly experienced team combines surveying experience and strategic understanding to engage with client stakeholders to develop a capital plan. Additionally, CBRE can provide client-specific budget estimating tools, driving increased accuracy in cashflow and depreciation forecasts.

34EMEA FIT-OUT COST GUIDE CBRE PROJECT MANAGEMENT33

A significant portion of property costs incurred by occupiers could be tax deductible.

This is commonly referred to as Capital Allowances (UK) or Tax Depreciation (EMEA). It is not uncommon to find as much 95% of the total cost of fit-outs or refurbishments qualifies for some form of relief, depending on the country.

Tax depreciation differs from 'book value' depreciation used for accounting purposes, in that it is used to directly reduce profits subject to taxation. Its methodology and calculation varies by country. In most countries, depreciation allowances are calculated on a linear basis where the taxpayer deducts equal annual amounts. This is calculated by multiplying the rate of depreciation (useful economic life) by the asset’s initial value, until the asset is written off in full. In other countries, a reducing-balance basis of depreciation is used, utilising different rates of relief for different categories of expenditure.

As a consequence, if assets are not allocated to the correct category, it could affect the level of relief available and the rate at which it is realised.

All capital expenditure incurred on projects should be reviewed to ensure all assets are correctly allocated for optimal tax relief. For example, in the UK, there is a 100% first-year writing-down allowance for any expenditure incurred on 'green and energy/water efficient technologies'. Similar items which don’t meet the criteria must be written down at a rate of 8% per annum on a reducing balance basis.

As depreciation specialists with mixed property and tax backgrounds, CBRE’s Capital Allowances team is ideally placed to secure optimum tax savings.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TAX DEPRECIATION

While this guide predominantly deals with traditional project and cost management services, CBRE can also provide clients with a number of alternative, bespoke solutions for project delivery.

In multi-disciplinary commissions, part or all of the consultant team can contract directly with CBRE, providing greater project accountability and control, particularly during design. CBRE are also able to act as the principal contractor under CDM regulations.

CBRE can deliver construction activities by acting as a main or general contractor, either by appointing a third-party contractor to carry out the majority of construction activities or acting as a management contractor and appointing a series of sub-contractors, who each provide their specialist services under CBRE’s control.

When our remit extends into construction services, it is possible to agree teams, terms and margins much earlier. Through this 'One Team' approach, clients benefit from open book visibility of competitive tendering at subcontract level to ensure the project is delivered against the approved budget.

Collaboration through all project stages mitigates the transfer of risk between define, design, and deliver phases, and ultimately ensures client requirements translate smoothly into the final product. The main advantage of delivering construction activities in this way is the significant programme time saved against the procurement and mobilisation period required from a third party contractor.

Until construction commences, the critical path runs through the design stages, so this route provides a significant reduction in the time between consultant design and specialist subcontract design, which generally commences after contractor appointment. For the 1,000 sq m projects outlined in this guide, this option can provide overall programme savings which typically range from six to ten weeks against the single stage tender procurement option.

Summary benefits of CBRE delivering construction activities:

• Brings a 'One Team' approach with a partnering ethos

• Simplifies vendor set-up and invoicing process

• Provides single point of project accountability

• Improves speed to market • Reduces project programme duration • Ensures early agreement of

commercial terms • Provides immediate senior management

resource commitment • Ensures prompt engagement of specialist

consultants and sub-contractors for early completion of key elements of detailed design

• Reduces tendering and site mobilisation timeframes

• Enhances competitive supply chain price transparency

• Improves buying power and ability to influence lead-in time frames

• Provides continuity when managing client direct suppliers and specialists from preconstruction into delivery

While CBRE offers a full range of services, the delivery and procurement option selected needs to be appropriate to meet project parameters and deliver against client objectives.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly important in real estate. New regulations, rising operating costs and growing scrutiny from stakeholders are among the factors creating fresh challenges and opportunities.

On average, real estate operations represent approximately 40% of carbon intensive activities across EMEA. Further to this, people spend around 90% of their time inside buildings, so both the environmental and health implications of the spaces we create and occupy are significant.

Enhancing sustainability can also have measurable financial benefits; a well-designed, resource-efficient fit-out can significantly reduce business operation costs. On average, 90% of business operating costs are attributed to employees, with a further 9% attributed to ongoing utilities costs, so creating healthy and efficient environments can have a huge impact on bottom line.

OUR HEALTH, PRODUCTIVITY, AND CREATIVITY RESEARCH

In collaboration with organisations and universities, we investigated the relationship between health-enabled fit-out design and employee performance in two key studies.

We first launched CBRE Healthy Offices in 2017, in collaboration with the University of Twente. This research was the first of its kind to confirm the relationship between people’s working environment and their health, well-being and ability to perform.

A STRONGER DEMAND FOR SMART BUILDINGS

A smart building is one that uses automated processes to control a variety of operations. The Internet of Things (IoT) is supporting the development of a new breed of smart buildings hosting technological ecosystems that track and manage energy, environment, security and other key features. This allows real time interaction between building operators and tenants and can improve employee experience between building operators and tenants.

CREATING RESOURCE-EFFICIENT, PRODUCTIVE, HEALTHY WORKING ENVIRONMENTS

Our experts help occupiers achieve a more responsible fit-out in line with their CSR strategy, from establishing overarching portfolio strategies through to technical design and formal third-party certification.

PORTFOLIO CSR STRATEGY

We equip occupiers with market-leading responsible fit-out strategies across their portfolios to support existing corporate responsibility commitments, and further deliver tangible cost benefits associated with operating occupied spaces, in a targeted and strategic manner. This will often involve defining criteria for site selection, minimum design and operational requirements for ensuring continued performance, and may involve formal third-party certification targets.

TECHNICAL DESIGN SUPPORT

We would always recommend that any design decisions concerning sustainability are addressed during the project brief stage; in order to improve cost and risk management, avoid abortive work and ultimately enhance the project’s success and sustainability performance.

We support design teams in providing technical sustainability design advice, tailored to specific project needs, indicating costs and priorities associated with a variety of sustainable fit-out criteria listed below.

CERTIFICATION

Green building certification has become more common in the market. Now more than ever, owners and occupiers are demanding fit-outs of a minimum sustainability standard, and are increasingly opting for third-party certification. This provides a clear, holistic approach and acts as independent verification of achievements against a recognised standard.

The WELL and Fitwel program are designed to provide transparency on the performance of commercial buildings in terms of wellness. Similarly, Wired Certification provides insight into the 'connectivity' of buildings, which is paramount in today’s digital economy.

REGIONAL MARKET OUTLOOKECONOMIC OUTLOOK

While the slowdown in global growth from the highs of 2017 was widely expected, the H2 2018 deterioration in global trading conditions has continued, or even deepened, into 2019 with the manufacturing sector particularly affected. Indeed, there are indications of something of a two-speed economy emerging, with consumption and personal spending holding up a lot better than the trade sector. The shape and components of this shift have significant implications for growth patterns globally, the direction of monetary policy and the short and medium-term shape of the cycle.

The manufacturing-led slowdown owes something to the US-China trade dispute but has also been accentuated by a variety of localised but coincident factors. These include the shift to lower-emissions production in Germany, and prolonged uncertainty for British manufacturers stemming from the extension and continued non-resolution of the Brexit process.

Until recently the major bright spot from a global standpoint has been the USA, which had continued to post robust growth figures. Even here though some cooling is starting to become apparent with, for instance, the pace of new hiring a lot weaker so far in 2019 than it had been through last year. Further weakening is expected over the next couple of years as job growth wanes and the impact of earlier fiscal stimulus diminishes.

Against this background world economic growth, having run at over 3% per annum in 2017-18, is expected to slow to closer to 2.5% per annum over the two years, with

weakening evident in all three major regions (North America, Europe and Developed APac). This is a more gradual outlook than the previous version, which featured a sharp slowdown in H2 2020 associated with general tightening in interest rates.

The weaker short-term picture removes the rationale for interest rate rises, as do lower inflation expectations and generally low levels of actual inflation – despite rising employment and very low levels of unemployment in many parts of the world. While there are still risks that inflation could yet take off, the main central banks look to be putting interest rates hikes on hold until economic indicators begin to improve, suggesting a much more gradual process of normalisation in both the US and Europe. In this environment we expect low long and short-term rates to persist for another year or two.

Taking the EMEA region in more detail, most of the larger countries reflect at least some of the global pattern described above with slower growth than last year expected almost everywhere, with only moderate improvement (Germany, Italy) or further slippage in growth rate (Spain, France, Sweden, Poland) anticipated in 2020. Recent data has painted a mixed picture: industrial output falling in Q1 in most of the major economies, and retail trade numbers looking weaker in recent months, alongside rising employment and some indications of upward pressure on wages. Heightened political uncertainty remains a feature of the European landscape, notably in

the UK where extension to the Brexit process is likely to stifle business investment for longer, but also Spain, France and Italy among others. Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has generally shown more resilience on recent short-term measures and this is also true of the forecast outlook: where many of the larger western European economies will struggle to post GDP growth of 1.5% per annum over the next three years, typical CEE growth rates are higher and in some cases (Poland and Hungary, for example) could exceed 3%.

Outside Europe, many markets in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to see strong population growth between 2-3% per year in the short term, and GDP growth above 3% and rising. Inflation remains high relative to European levels, but is showing signs of being more successfully brought under control in some countries. These trends also appear in diluted form in much of the Middle East, albeit with greater risk from oil price fluctuations and Gulf region geo-politics.

OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW

RentsLooking at the property markets, the CBRE EMEA office rent index rose by 2.4% in the year to Q2 2019. This represents something of a slowdown in the growth rate compared with most of the previous two years during which rents were rising at a rate of 3.5% per year or more. While the short-term economic outlook has deteriorated, as described above, it remains our view that a fairly gradual end to the cycle is in prospect, with some further upward pressure on rents likely.

There are still widespread variations in market conditions among the main city markets. A number of cities are still seeing rental growth running at over 10% per year, including Berlin and Hamburg, as well as some central European markets (Budapest and Sofia) along with the main Portuguese markets of Lisbon and Porto.

A longer list of cities is seeing rental growth running at between 5-10% per year, including Madrid, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London City. At the other extreme, a combination of high supply levels and erratic demand is pushing rents downwards in a small number of markets in southern and eastern markets including Moscow, Istanbul and Dubai.

Office MarketAgainst this background there are several factors working to support office market activity: the strength of the service sector relative to manufacturing in many economies; continued job growth in office-based employment sectors; and on the supply side, generally controlled levels of new building and the removal of obsolete stock tending to push vacancy down.

Rates of growth in leasing levels are starting to ease in line with the late stage of the cycle, and the constraining effect of low and falling levels of vacancy that are restricting occupier choice in a number of cities. In aggregate terms, take-up across the main EMEA markets was just over 4 million sq m in the second quarter of 2019, which is 0.4% higher than the corresponding quarter in 2018. Taking the first half of the year as a whole, take-up was 1.4% higher than in the first half of 2018 although the past four quarters combined showed a marginal decline compared with the previous four quarters.

Looking more closely at demand differences between the main cities there isn’t a clear pattern to differences across the region, but it is generally the case that markets that strengthened much earlier in the cycle are easing (London, Dublin, Paris), while late-cycle recovery markets are still improving (Madrid, Milan and also Brussels). Germany is a rather mixed picture: Hamburg and to a lesser extent Berlin are stronger while Munich is down. Among the major CEE markets, Moscow, Warsaw and Budapest were all up quite strongly in Q2 2019 compared with Q2 2018, but weaker when comparing H1 2019 with H1 2018. Prague is notably slower.

The UK data reflects something of a contrast between London and the regions. Take-up for the UK as a whole was 6.5% lower in the first half of this year than in H1 2018, while London on its own was 10% lower. Manchester and Birmingham have been the strongest of the regional cities.

On the supply side of the market, vacancy levels have generally continued to fall with the EU-28 vacancy rate down to 7.9% at the mid-year point, 0.5 percentage points below its position a year ago. While still heading in the same downward direction as it has been of late, this is the slowest annual rate of decline in vacancy since early 2016, indicating that market balances may be starting to loosen.

This would be good news for occupiers with large requirements, many of whom have a limited choice of space from existing built stock and so in many locations may have to initiate pre-lets to secure space. At mid-year, a number of major markets had vacancy rates lower than 4% including Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam and London’s West End. Several others with higher vacancy rates have seen a reduction of more than a full percentage point in the past year, including Warsaw, Brussels, Frankfurt and Barcelona.

FIT-OUT COST INDEX | EMEA

The cost to fit-out offices varies from city to city, something which must be considered when planning your budget.

The 'Ready Reckoner' and benchmarks in this guide provide a good indication of fit-out costs across EMEA. However, the best source of information is a client organisation’s own internal data of historic fit-out projects which will provide the detailed information on the true cost to build to a client specific standard. When a present day benchmark is established, the EMEA Fit-Out Cost Index can be used to estimate the likely costs to build the same again across EMEA.

This EMEA Fit-Out Cost Index shows the fit-out cost multiplier relative to the cost of building in London.

From large corporations to start-ups, our clients rely on benchmarking as a key tool to assist them in their decision-making process.

The CBRE Global Fit-Out Index aims to highlight the relativity of key markets around the world.

Specifically, this index shows the effect on corporate real estate capital planning decisions by reporting the comparative difference of office fit-out costs in 23 key markets across four global regions.

This industry leading benchmark data, paired with CBRE’s global presence and market knowledge, allows us to partner with our clients to provide our expertise and offer the best solutions to achieve our clients’ objectives.

NOTE

This index shows the variance across the region for total tenants fit-out project costs.

Cost data for each location is collected in local currency and then converted to Euros based on an August 2019 exchange rate. Please contact the CBRE GWS Cost Consultancy team if local currency costs are required as there are exchange rate fluctuations anticipated for 2019/2020.

NOTE

The Global Index is a guide only. For budget estimates on specific projects, please contact the CBRE Project Management Division lead from the relevant market who can provide you with relevant and accurate information.
