LATAMFIT-OUT COST GUIDEOccupier Projects2016 / 17 Edition
1FIT-OUT COST GUIDE
FOREWORD
SERGIO PANEROSenior Managing DirectorProject Management Latin America
Our global clients are increasingly looking to Latin America for growth, and more specifically building or expanding offices in the region. As the premier providers of Project Management Service, CBRE is uniquely qualified to support our clients to make the best decisions for their projects in each market of the region.
How much will my new office cost? As part of their planning, our clients need to know comparable costs and metrics for their projects. This CBRE Cost Guide for Corporate Interiors was created a year ago to answer this key question and we are delighted to present the updated edition.
Along with other leaders in the industry (our FUSION partners) CBRE has produced a typical design for 1,100 square meter fit-out suitable for Latin America markets. Using our local Project Management teams and other CBRE professionals in each market, we have gathered project cost information for identical spaces in each country. While not all projects have the same characteristics, this guide delivers an accurate cost metric for Low, Medium and High Standard specifications, allowing our clients to make “an apples to apples comparison”.
It is my pleasure to present our LatAm Fit-Out Cost Guide 2016-2017 which covers 10 countries in the Region, produced by CBRE’s Project Management local teams.
CBRE Mexico City office
This year we increased the coverage of the region by adding 4 more countries to the guide.
CBRE Latin America team is proud to make this tool available for our clients. We will periodically update this publication to keep our clients abreast of changing market conditions. As always, we appreciate the critical input you may have in making this tool more valuable.
2 3FIT-OUT COST GUIDE FIT-OUT COST GUIDE
The Project specifications have been priced by our local Project Management teams across the region and are categorized broadly into three standards named: low, medium and high. These specifications as well as their associated budget, can be further refined for greater accuracy as the project brief evolves.
This categorization has allowed us to gather a range of benchmarking information that can be applied depending on the level of investment an organization requires.
We have issued the design and specifications to our offices throughout LATAM to capture local knowledge and market information which includes:
• Fit-out cost (professional fees, construction and Furniture Fittings & Equipment)• An indication of Project delivery time• Expected inflation over the next 12 months• Local Taxes

BENCHMARK ASSUMPTIONSTo homologate criteria in the different markets within the region, and considering construction implications the following general assumptions emerged:
• The building is located in the central business district
• Premises are in good condition and have all necessary infrastructure (suitable baseline requirements of HVAC and power supply, etc)
• Design is generic, local regulations, specific space planning and cultural differences both country and industry related, have not been considered
• This guide does not consider shape variations of the building which may impact fit factors
• FF&E is new, no reuse considered
• Ordinary timetable for construction works has been contemplated
• If the scope of your requirements varies significantly from the design information included in this report, please do not hesitate to contact the Project Management team locally

REGIONAL ANALYSIS
ARGENTINA BRAZILCOMMON PRACTICES IN THE CORPORATE OFFICE MARKET:
• Rent Quoted: Rent is quoted on a NN basis per square meter per month in U.S.Dollars (USD). LEASE is always in dollars, tenant can pay in pesos per exchange rate at day of invoice. In Argentina. I.V.A. is 21% of the rent.
• Rent Payable: The tenant pays rent monthly in advance in ARG (argentine pesos). If the lease is quoted in USD, tenant have to pay in ARG at the exchange rate at the time of payment. The tenant pays VAT is refundable as long as the invoice issuing party is not a "monotributista" for this reason, clients usually budget their construction projects at Net and not Gross
• Grace Period: Up to two months’ grace period for fit-out is commo for shell space in a lease of 3 years term and one month for second generation spaces
• Rent Escalation: Rent adjusts annually agreed among both parties in the contract.
• The entire fit out-is paid by the tenant.• Tenant Work: The tenant is usually responsible for fit-out, including
suspended ceilings and ceiling lighting for first generation, but can be found included in the contract also. The landlord normally allows the tenant to select the contractor. Every buildings has its own construction code for tenant improvements.
• Tenants insure their premises separately.• The tenant pays for telephone and electricity.• Electrical Power: In office buildings, electricity is generally delivered
to floors at 220 volts. 380 volts is also common in office buildings, and is starting to being delivered in brand-new buildings.
PROJECT POINTS FOR ATTENTION:• Long Lead Time items must be ordered early in design process as we
recommend at least 4-6 months contingency for delivery.• Importation schedules are often difficult to control and predict.• Non argentine architects or MEP consultants are not familiar with
permiting, design codes, metric system, etc. • Argentine A&E firms in general are not capable of concentrating all
MEP disciplines. Thus design integration is strongly reccomended.
PROJECT DELIVERY:
• New buildings can be delivered as both Core & Shell, or Warm Shell conditions.
• Fitting out investment commonly is full tenant’s responsibility.• Both Building Administration and City hall departments are to
approve/permit drawings prior to on site works commencement. Building construction codes need to be checked prior to lease contract execution.
• The proposed layout would be subject to permits from both City Hall (Law #11.228 ) and Fire Marshall (Decree #56819). Refurbishment works must not start before 30 days or permit request.
• LEED CS certified buildings are increasingly taking over São Paulo. Attention to its restrictions is important to tenants.
• Brazil’s tax environment is not VAT. It is an old fashioned model that retains taxes on every transaction level resulting in a cascade of taxes in cases of subcontracts of any kind.
• Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro often are mature for design-build delivery, always under a project management scheme for client´s benefit and control. Design - bid - build model is available in all states.
• Most of the international FF&E players are present in country, mostlythru distribution occasionally thru local manufacturing or O&M.
PROJECT POINTS FOR ATTENTION:• Long lead items are often UPS, Generator, transformers, buzways,
imported FF&E, imported goods, air conditioners.• Importation schedules are often difficult to control and predict.• Non brazilian architects or MEP consultants are not familiar with
permiting, design codes, metric system, etc. • Brazil A&E firms in general are not capable of concentrating all MEP
disciplines. Thus design integration is strongly reccomended.
CHILECOMMON PRACTICES IN THE CORPORATE OFFICE MARKET:• Basis of measurement Valuation method: Areas and dimensions are
measured in square meters. Accommodation is valued adopting an overall rate per square meter and it is common practice to measure the net leasable area.
• Rent payment: Rent is quoted in Unidad de Fomento (UF), per square meter, an inflation indexed currency that is adjusted on a daily basis depending on the previous month’s inflation value. Rent is actually payable in Chilean Pesos, monthly in advance. Additional charges, such as taxes and the upkeep of common areas, are quoted separately.
• Rent escalation / Rent review: Rent escalation is not common as the UF is an artificial currency, the value of which changes on a daily basis to reflect inflation. When leases are renewed, the rent is reviewed to reflect the current market.
• Security Deposits and Guarantees: Top multinational tenants typically deposit one month’s rent. Smaller companies may deposit two months’ rent. Security deposits are lower than in many other countries, because landlords do not generally do fit-outs or provide other large incentives.
• Utilities: The term “service charges” is used for electricity, water and cleaning inside the tenant’s premises that the tenant pays separately and directly to each provider. The tenant pays the electric and water companies directly, based on a meter reading.
• Property taxes and other costs: lords will pay real estate taxes and property insurance. Annual property tax is 1.2% of the state appraisal value of the property. In some but not all cases, the tenant will pay VAT (sales tax) at 19% on its rental liability.
• Agents’ fees: Commission will typically amount to 4% plus VAT of the disposal value of a freehold interest, or 4% of the total rental liability of a leasehold interest. Often, the parties will assume an equal share of this liability.
• Incentives: A rent-free period is negotiable but is likely to be from 3 to 6 months.
• Lease length and terms: Typical lease length is between 3-5 years is common. While new leases will not be granted by law, it is common
for the parties to renew a lease and revise terms as dictated by the market. Some tenants will take renewal options at the start of their lease term.
• Tenant Improvements: Landlord Work:• The landlord usually delivers an empty shell and sometimes may
contribute with some improvements, such as suspended ceilings with basic ceiling lighting, basic restrooms, and basic carpeting rights.
• Tenant Work: The tenant usually performs and pays for all other tenant improvements. The tenant uses its own architects, engineers, and contractors, with prior landlord approval.
• Tenant Improvements Costs: Fit-out costs for Class A or Prime buildings in major cities depends on the material specification of each fit-out, so market doesn’t established a regular price for fit-out. In spite of that normally a regular fit-out with standard materials range from USD 900–1800 per sqm including construction, furniture, wiring, design fees, etc. plus VAT (19%) applies to fit-out costs”.

COLOMBIA COSTA RICACOMMON PRACTICES IN THE CORPORATE OFFICE MARKET:• Rent Quoted: Rent is quoted on a NN basis per square meter per
month in Colombian Pesos (COP).• Rent Payable: The tenant pays rent monthly in advance in COP. If the
lease is quoted in USD, tenant can pay in COP at the exchange rate at the time of payment. The tenant pays VAT, called I.V.A. (Impuesto al Valor Agregado). In Colombia. I.V.A. is 16% of the rent.
• Grace Period: Up to three months’ grace period for fit-out is common for shell space in a lease of 5 years term and one month for second generation spaces. Larger grace periods (up to 6 months) are granted in large transactions and 10 year terms.
• Rent Escalation: COP-denominated rent adjusts annually by Colombia CPI, sometimes with caps.
• The entire fit out-is paid by the tenant.• Tenant Work: The tenant is usually responsible for fit-out, including
suspended ceilings and ceiling lighting. The landlord normally allows the tenant to select the contractor. Every buildings has its own construction code for tenant improvements.
• Tenants insure their premises separately.• The tenant pays for telephone and electricity.• Electrical Power: In office buildings, electricity is generally delivered
to floors at 110–120 volts. Tenants that need 220 volts obtain permission to install extra wiring. 440 volts is rare in office buildings, but is starting to being delivered in brand-new buildings.
