Trend Group is South Africa’s leading design and build firm — delivering office interior design, turnkey office fit-out, and workspace strategy from Cape Town to Johannesburg and internationally. One team. One contract. Complete accountability from the first sketch to the final handover.
Trend Group is a design and build firm offering a full spectrum of corporate workspace services:
Office interior design, turnkey office fit-out, workspace analysis and space planning, furniture design and procurement, tenant installation and reinstatement, and sustainable ESG-focused design. With studios in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, London, Dubai, and Cairo, we deliver end-to-end workspace transformation under a single contract. International clients can also explore the full Trend Group Global offering at trendgroupglobal.com.
Every Trend Group project moves through four integrated phases — each one a standalone service, all of them stronger when delivered together.
This is what we call The Trend Touch: a seamless, single-contract approach that eliminates the gaps between design, planning, construction, and furnishing.
Understand before you design.
A data-driven audit of how your office is actually used — measuring occupancy, mapping working patterns, and translating that insight into a practical layout strategy.
We assess utilisation, plan for headcount growth, engage your team directly, and deliver a clear office layout recommendation before a single design decision is made.
Where your brand becomes a space.
Bespoke office interior design from concept through to detailed technical drawings.
Our designers integrate your corporate identity, culture, and operational requirements into every spatial decision – creating environments that are visually exceptional, functionally intelligent, and built to perform.
Built to perform. Delivered on time.
End-to-end construction management – partitioning, ceilings, flooring, joinery, electrical and data infrastructure, HVAC, fire systems, and access control.
Our project managers coordinate all trades, manage SANS compliance and municipal approvals, and deliver a defect-free handover with full certification. Typically 15% faster than multi-vendor procurement.
Furniture that works as hard as your people.
Ergonomic specification, supplier management, and full installation for every furniture category – from task seating and height-adjustable workstations to boardroom tables, breakout lounge furniture, acoustic pods, bespoke reception counters, and custom joinery.
Circular economy principles applied throughout.
Four specialist services that address specific commercial and operational challenges – from procurement model choice to lease lifecycle management, hybrid work strategy, and sustainability.
One contract. One team. Zero surprises.
Our flagship procurement model: design and construction fully integrated under a single contract and a single point of accountability. No gaps between designers, builders, and subcontractors — just one team working in constant collaboration.
Up to 30% faster delivery than traditional multi-vendor procurement.
Maximise your move-in. Perfect your exit.
Expert management of both ends of the commercial lease lifecycle.
On move-in, we ensure every rand of your TI allowance is strategically allocated. On move-out, we execute compliant, cost-effective reinstatements to white shell or grey box condition. Deep REIT familiarity across Sandton, Rosebank, and the Cape Town CBD.
Strategy behind every square metre.
Data-driven floor plate optimisation for the hybrid era. We move beyond the sea-of-desks approach — using utilisation data, occupancy analysis, and organisational mapping to create high-efficiency layouts that reflect how your team actually works.
Activity-based working zones and future-proof flexibility built in from day one.
Built to endure. Designed to inspire.
ESG-ready workspaces designed for 2026 and beyond. We integrate solar PV arrays, battery backup, greywater harvesting, smart HVAC, and biophilic design principles into the corporate
interior.
GBCSA Green Star alignment and full ESG documentation provided.
Five stages. One team. Complete accountability from the first conversation to the final handover.

Trend Group delivers workplace and interior projects across South Africa and internationally through a design-led, integrated, and regionally coordinated delivery model. Six principles define the Trend Group difference.
With design at the centre of every project, we lead workplace strategy, interior design, user experience, and technical coordination – creating spaces that enhance culture, productivity, and brand identity.
Our unified workflow combines design, project management, cost management, procurement, and FF&E — strengthening cost control and ensuring full protection of design intent throughout delivery.
We specialise in workplace transformation and corporate interior environments, enabling faster mobilisation, deeper insight into hybrid working, and more precise solutions than generalist firms.
Our structure allows for fast approvals, quick design iterations, and flexible adaptation to client needs and country-specific requirements – without the delays of a large corporate hierarchy.
Our end-to-end FF&E strategy, specification, procurement, logistics, and installation ensures consistency in quality, durability, and user experience across multiple sites and
geographies.
We focus on creating environments that support staff wellbeing, collaboration, engagement, and a strong sense of culture – attracting talent and enhancing the daily working experience.
Trend Group operates from dedicated studios in South Africa’s two primary commercial cities — with the local knowledge to deliver for each market’s specific character, building stock, and regulatory environment. And through Trend Group Global, our international network, we extend that same quality of design and delivery to London, Dubai, Cairo, and throughout Africa.
Biophilic design. Green building leadership. Creative & tech sector specialists.

We are expert in large-scale fit-outs in premium high-rise buildings across Sandton, Rosebank, and Waterfall — managing the logistical complexity, security integration, and high-tech infrastructure demands of South Africa’s leading financial, legal, and professional services firms.

Trend Group offers a full spectrum of corporate workspace services: office interior design, turnkey office fit-out and construction management, workspace analysis and space planning, furniture design and procurement, tenant installation (TI) allowance management, office reinstatement, and sustainable ESG-focused design. We operate from studios in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, London, Dubai, and Cairo. For our international studios visit www.trendgroupglobal.com.
A turnkey fit-out means one company – Trend Group – manages both the design and the physical construction under a single contract. In a standard fit-out, a client manages separate designers, architects, and contractors independently. Turnkey eliminates the coordination gaps between parties, typically delivering projects 15–30% faster with greater budget certainty and a single point of accountability.
Yes. Trend Group has dedicated studios in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban. Our Cape Town team specialises in biophilic, lifestyle-integrated design for the Western Cape market. Our Johannesburg team delivers high-specification corporate fit-outs across Sandton, Rosebank, Waterfall, and the greater Gauteng region.
Workspace analysis is a structured audit of how your office is currently being used – measuring occupancy rates, mapping working patterns, surveying employees, and assessing your space against your current and future headcount. The output is a set of office layout recommendations and a space planning strategy that can reduce occupancy costs by up to 20%.
A typical office fit-out for a 300–500m² space takes 6–10 weeks on site. Larger, multi-floor corporate fit-outs may take 3–6 months. Trend Group provides a detailed project programme at the outset so every milestone is visible before work begins. Phased delivery can be arranged for occupied buildings.
A Tenant Installation (TI) allowance is a contribution provided by a landlord to fund the customisation of a leased office space. Without professional oversight, TI allowances are frequently exhausted on basic infrastructure before brand or design work is addressed. Trend Group manages the strategic allocation of your TI budget — ensuring it covers both functional requirements and the brand experience that makes your office feel like yours from day one.
Yes. Trend Group’s sustainable design service integrates solar power systems, battery backup, biophilic design, smart building technology, and GBCSA (Green Building Council of South Africa) compliance into the corporate interior. We provide the ESG documentation and energy data required for corporate sustainability reporting, and can manage the formal Green Star rating process where required.
