About Business Interior Solutions
At Business Interior Solutions, we’re all about creating workspaces that work. Since 1997, we’ve been helping businesses of all shapes and sizes design, build, and fit out offices that not only look great but also support the way people work.
Our ethos is simple - work directly with the end user. Whether we’re helping a fast growing company expand into new offices or supporting a start-up with their very first fit-out, we focus on building long-term relationships. A lot of our clients come back to us time and time again because they trust us to evolve their spaces as their needs change.
We offer workplace consultancy, office design, fit-out, furniture, and relocation services, all handled by our experienced in-house team. But that’s not all. Over the years, we’ve delivered a wide variety of projects, often going beyond our usual scope to meet unique client needs. Whether it’s technical drawing packages, quick pricing tools, or creative acoustic solutions, we’re here to make your workspace better.
At BIS, we’re proud of the work we do—and even prouder of the relationships we’ve built along the way. We’re not just here for one project; we’re here for the long haul.
