Office Interior Design and Build
in Noida
IBS designs and builds office interiors in Noida, and its local teams in the city deliver them. An in-house design team draws the interior and its services. IBS’s own engineers and workmen then build the floor: civil work, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing), HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), fire fighting, painting and furniture. Where an architect leads, IBS builds that design. A Noida floor also answers to Uttar Pradesh’s fire law, the Noida Authority’s building regulations and the electricity licensee for the address.

Who designs and builds office interiors in Noida, and whose approvals does the floor need?
IBS designs and builds office interiors in Noida through its local teams, or builds the design your architect has drawn. Three sets of rules meet on a Noida floor. Uttar Pradesh’s fire law holds the owner or occupier responsible for fire safety measures. The Noida Authority’s 2010 regulations spare certified internal alterations a building permit application. Extra electrical load is applied for under the state’s supply code.
What is a Fire Safety Certificate?
A Fire Safety Certificate is the document that Uttar Pradesh’s fire Act of 2022 requires the buildings on its list to obtain from the state’s Fire and Emergency Services. Business buildings are named in that list. Under the 2024 Rules a fire officer of at least Chief Fire Officer rank issues it. You may hear it called a fire NOC (no objection certificate).
What is load enhancement?
Load enhancement is an increase in a connection’s sanctioned load, the electrical load the licensee (the company licensed to supply electricity) has agreed to supply. Uttar Pradesh’s Electricity Supply Code, 2005 sets out how to apply. A fit-out needs it when new HVAC plant, a server room or a pantry draws more than the floor was sanctioned for.
What are first fix and second fix?
First fix is the MEP work that goes in before the ceiling and walls close: conduit, cable trays, HVAC ducting, refrigerant pipework and sprinkler pipes. Second fix follows the finishes: DB panels (distribution boards), MCBs (miniature circuit breakers), earthing connections, diffusers, smoke detectors and light fittings. In Noida the papers that go with a request for more load describe finished, tested work.
Address
Noida or Greater Noida: what does the address change for an office fit-out?
Both sit in Gautam Budh Nagar district. The documents we read separate them most clearly on electricity, so start with the name on the landlord’s electricity bill.
A floor in Noida
- The licensed area of PVVNL (Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited) includes Gautam Budh Nagar “excluding Greater Noida area”
- No document we read names individual sectors. That Sector 62 or Sectors 125 to 142 fall to PVVNL is our reading of that licence area
- The building regulations we read are the Noida Authority’s, written for the New Okhla Industrial Development Area
A floor in Greater Noida
- Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) has held a licence to distribute and retail electricity in Greater Noida since 30 August 1993
- PVVNL holds a second licence for the entire Greater Noida area, and it is not an exclusive one
- The term of NPCL’s licence is disputed and is before the Supreme Court. We do not predict the outcome
- We read no building regulations for Greater Noida
The same at either address
- The fire law, under which the paper many call a fire NOC is a Fire Safety Certificate
- The air-quality regime: Gautam Budh Nagar is a constituent area of the National Capital Region (NCR)
- IBS’s pricing: a site survey of the floor first, then a line-item BOQ (bill of quantities)
Fire law
What does Uttar Pradesh’s fire law ask of an office building in Noida?
The law is the Uttar Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022, which repealed the state’s Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Act of 2005. Its Rules were notified in January 2024.
Who is responsible
- The owner or the occupier of a building provides its fire prevention and life safety measures, and the Act describes them as responsible “either individually or jointly”
- Check your lease for how the two of you divide that work, and ask where it is silent
- A new layout touches several of those measures: sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, manual call points, the fire alarm panel wiring and the path to each hose reel
The certificate
- Business buildings are named among the special buildings that obtain a Fire Safety Certificate from Fire and Emergency Services
- A fire officer of at least Chief Fire Officer rank issues it
- It is valid for 3 years on non-residential buildings, with exceptions such as hotels and hospitals, and the State may vary the term
- You may hear it called the building’s fire NOC. Ask the landlord for a copy before design starts
The dates to diarise
- An upkeep certificate is due twice a year, in the months of January and July
- Renewal of the Fire Safety Certificate is applied for online, one month before it expires
- Mark January, July and the renewal month on the fit-out programme, beside the dates your sprinkler and smoke detector work is tested
What we could not confirm
- The Gazette notification that brings the 2022 Act into force in Gautam Budh Nagar. We did not find it, so this page gives no commencement date
- Whether a tenant’s fit-out needs a fresh or an amended certificate. We found no provision either way
- Later changes to the Act. We read it as enacted, India Code’s consolidated copy would not open, and one schedule of the 2024 Rules went unread
Building permit
Does an office interior need a building permit from the Noida Authority?
The Noida Authority’s Building Regulations of 2010 answer this for internal work, with conditions. We read the 2010 text and not the three later amendments, which exist as scanned files.
What the 2010 text exempts
- No application for a building permit is necessary for internal additions and alterations within the building envelope, the outer shell of the building
- The work has to be certified and supervised by a technical person, which the regulations define as an architect, civil engineer or town planner recognised by the Authority
- Whitewashing and painting, plastering, patch work and flooring are on the same no-application list
- Most of an office interior is work of that kind: gypsum partitions and false ceilings, floor screed under carpet or vitrified tile, joinery in plywood or MDF with a laminate or veneer face, and MEP services inside your own area
- Whether every item on your drawings counts as internal is for the certifying person to say, in writing
The conditions attached
- The exemption holds only while the work does not violate requirements the regulation lists. Two of them are structural stability and the fire safety requirements of the National Building Code
- A slab core for HVAC pipework or a cut in a structural wall is a structural question for the building owner’s consultant, to settle before the GFC drawings (good for construction) are issued
- Escape routes, sprinkler coverage and smoke detector positions in the new layout are fire safety questions. Have the fire fighting design checked before the ceiling closes
What stays open, and what stays yours
- The three amendments may have changed the exemption. Confirm the current text with the Authority or your landlord
- The landlord’s fit-out approval is separate. A tower can ask for drawings, a deposit, fixed working hours and a hot-work permit for welding, whatever the regulations exempt
- Every licence, permit and NOC is yours to obtain. IBS can prepare the application drawings and handle the liaison, as a separately charged service
Power
How do you get more electrical load for an office in Noida?
Uttar Pradesh’s Electricity Supply Code, 2005 sets the procedure, which we read in the text revised up to the third amendment. Find out first whose name the connection is in. In a multi-tenant tower it may be the landlord’s.
What creates the extra load
- HVAC plant is often the largest addition: VRF (variable refrigerant flow) outdoor units, AHUs (air handling units) and FCUs (fan coil units)
- A floor cooled from the building’s chiller plant (its central cooling) adds less of its own than a floor on a tenant VRF system
- A server room and a pantry add more. The connected load, the total wired to a panel, comes out of the electrical design, so ask for it per DB panel
The application
- An application for enhancement of load is filed in duplicate with the licensee’s sub divisional officer for the area, on the form the Code prescribes
- With it go a work completion certificate and a test report from a licensed electrical contractor
- Both describe finished, tested work: conduit and cable in place, MCBs and MCCBs (circuit breakers) fitted, and earthing measured. As we read it, the application follows second fix of the new load
The clock
- Sanction within 7 days where the metering and related apparatus need no change
- Sanction within 30 days where they do
- A fresh agreement follows, for a minimum of two years
- Put the sanction on the programme beside the lead time of the VRF units and AHUs
What we did not read
- Amendments 4 to 12 to the Code were checked, and none mentions the load enhancement clause
- The 13th Amendment, of 2019, deals with single-point and multi-point connections in multi-storey buildings. It is a scanned file we did not read, so ask the licensee how it applies to your tower
- NPCL’s own procedure for Greater Noida. Its website would not load, so ask NPCL for the current form
Delivery
Who delivers an IBS office project in Noida?
IBS’s local teams in Noida do. IBS is a national contractor that executes projects across India, and it keeps a local presence and local teams in the country’s major cities, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities among them.

Routes
Will IBS design our Noida office, or build what our architect has drawn?
Either. Settle it before you ask for a price, since the route fixes who draws and what the quotation covers.
Without an architect
- IBS designs the office and builds it under one contract
- Its in-house team draws the interior and the MEP services: electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire fighting
- Design is priced as a line of its own in the quotation
Under an architect
- IBS builds from the architect’s GFC drawings and does not compete for the design
- Site queries go to the architect in writing, and each is tracked until it is answered
- Where IBS sees a saving, it is offered as a priced alternate, an option with its own price, and in no other form
- Shop drawings (the fabricator’s detailed drawings) are submitted before fabrication, and a mock-up (a sample built for approval) is made where the contract asks for one
In the quotation
- A site survey of your floor comes before any price
- The price is a line-item BOQ against the drawings. IBS quotes no rate per square foot
- The programme is stated, with the lead time of long-lead equipment shown against it
- Materials are your choice, from options priced against your budget: laminate or veneer on joinery, carpet or vitrified tile underfoot
At handover
- Test certificates and as-built drawings
- A closed snag list (the defects found at inspection, each put right)
- Installation is covered for twelve months, and the manufacturer’s warranty on each product passes through to you
- The defect liability period, the time after handover for putting defects right, is whatever your contract sets
Calendar
Do the capital region’s air-quality curbs apply to a Noida site, and when does the monsoon arrive?
The curbs do, because Noida’s district is in the National Capital Region. For the monsoon, IMD’s table of normal dates has no Noida row.
Air-quality curbs (GRAP)
- GRAP is the Graded Response Action Plan that the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) issues for the NCR. The NCR Planning Board lists Gautam Budh Nagar among the region’s constituent areas
- Stage III is tied to an air quality index (AQI) of 401 to 450 in Delhi, and its restrictions on listed dusty construction and demolition activities apply “in the entire NCR”. Less dusty work off that list may continue. We did not check which stage is in force today
- IBS’s Delhi office page sets out the fit-out trades the schedule names. Its goods-vehicle rules govern entry into Delhi, and we read no vehicle rule for Noida
Monsoon
- IMD (the India Meteorological Department) publishes normal monsoon dates station by station, and its table has no row for Noida
- The nearest listed station is Delhi: normal onset 27 June, normal withdrawal 25 September
- Work inside a closed floor carries on through the rain. Terrace HVAC units, refrigerant pipe runs and roof penetrations are the items to place against those dates
Market data
What do published figures say about office space and fit-out cost in Noida?
One report splits Noida out of the region: Cushman & Wakefield’s Delhi NCR office MarketBeat for the third quarter of 2026, a Grade A series for a single quarter. The other two do not. All of it is market data, and IBS quotes no rate per square foot.
Noida in one quarter (Cushman & Wakefield, Q3 2026)
- Delhi NCR leased 3.8 million sq ft of office space in the quarter, and Noida accounted for 27% of it, behind Gurugram at 63%
- On those rounded figures Noida’s part is about 1 million sq ft. That is our arithmetic: 3.8 × 0.27 = 1.03
- Noida Expressway was the region’s most active sub-market, with 20% of the leasing
- The report’s Noida row shows a vacancy of 19.8% and a weighted average rent of ₹62 per sq ft per month. Its Noida excludes Greater Noida
Leasing (JLL, January 2026)
- Delhi NCR recorded 17.4 million sq ft of gross office leasing in 2025
- The 2024 figure was 17.7 million sq ft, and JLL prints the change as -1.6%
- The row is for Delhi NCR as a whole
Fit-out cost (Cushman & Wakefield, March 2026)
- About ₹6,207 per sq ft for a collaborative hybrid workplace, printed under the label “Delhi”
- The guide prints no figure for Noida
- Your own cost follows the floor as handed over, the MEP scope and the finishes you pick, which is why IBS prices a BOQ line by line
Planning an office in Noida or Greater Noida?
Send the sector and tower, the carpet area, your headcount and the date you need to move in. If you have them, add the floor’s sanctioned load and the name on the electricity bill. IBS carries out a site survey, then prices a line-item BOQ with the programme stated.
Request a site surveyWhich paper does each part of a Noida fit-out touch?
Five rows from the sections above. Use the table as a checklist with your landlord and your contractor.
| What goes in | The paper to ask about | Who to ask | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire fighting | Sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, call points and fire alarm panel wiring | The building’s Fire Safety Certificate, valid 3 years on most non-residential buildings, and the upkeep certificate due in January and July | The landlord, for copies and the expiry date |
| Electrical | Conduit, cable trays, DB panels, MCBs and earthing | With a load enhancement application: the work completion certificate and test report from a licensed electrical contractor | Your contractor, for that contractor’s name |
| Air conditioning | VRF outdoor units, AHUs, ducting and diffusers | The load sanction: 7 days where the metering needs no change, otherwise 30 | The licensee on the bill, PVVNL or NPCL |
| Partitions, ceilings and floors | Gypsum partitions and ceilings, floor screed, vitrified tile and joinery | The technical person’s certificate for internal alterations, under the 2010 building regulations | The Authority or the landlord, on the three amendments we did not read |
| Outdoor plant | Terrace HVAC units, refrigerant pipe runs and roof penetrations | None. IMD’s Delhi dates, 27 June to 25 September, are the nearest listed | Your contractor, for where they fall in the programme |

Questions Buyers Ask
Frequently asked questions
Who are the best office interior designers in Noida?
We found no neutral ranking of Noida firms, so compare them on evidence you can check. Ask whether the firm that draws the office also builds it, which trades are its own employees, how large its biggest order was, and who signs the electrical test report. IBS draws every discipline in-house, and its own engineers and workmen build the MEP, HVAC and fire fighting. Its largest single order so far is ₹25 Crore.
Does IBS have a team in Noida?
Yes. Projects in Noida are delivered by IBS’s local teams, and the company keeps a local presence in the city. IBS works nationally. It executes projects across India and has local teams in the major cities, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities among them. Design for interiors, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire fighting is in-house, and the head office is in Goregaon West, Mumbai.
Is fitting out an office in Greater Noida different from Noida?
On paper, the main difference is electricity. PVVNL’s licensed area includes Gautam Budh Nagar excluding Greater Noida. In Greater Noida, Noida Power Company has held a licence since 1993 and PVVNL holds a second one that is not exclusive. The building regulations we read are the Noida Authority’s. The fire law and the air-quality curbs are common to both.
Do we need a fire NOC for an office in Noida?
Uttar Pradesh’s fire Act of 2022 names business buildings among those that obtain a Fire Safety Certificate from Fire and Emergency Services. That certificate is the paper a landlord may call the fire NOC. Ask for the building’s copy before design starts. Permits and NOCs are yours to obtain. IBS can prepare application drawings and handle liaison as a separately charged service.
Is the landlord or the tenant responsible for fire safety in a leased Noida office?
Uttar Pradesh’s fire Act puts fire prevention and life safety measures on the owner or the occupier of a building, responsible either individually or jointly. Check your lease for how the two of you divide the work. Before a fit-out starts, agree in writing who pays for and tests the sprinkler heads, smoke detectors and call points that the new layout moves.
How long is a Fire Safety Certificate valid in Uttar Pradesh, and who issues it?
It is valid for three years on non-residential buildings, except hotels, hospitals, assembly buildings, hazardous storage and high hazard industrial occupancies. The State can vary the term. Under the 2024 Rules a fire officer of at least Chief Fire Officer rank issues the certificate, and renewal is applied for online, one month before it expires. Ask your landlord for the expiry date.
What is the upkeep certificate due in January and July?
It is a second fire document in Uttar Pradesh’s 2022 Act, named apart from the Fire Safety Certificate, and it is due twice a year, in the months of January and July. Ask your landlord for the building’s latest one. If your fit-out will be on site in either month, agree early what the landlord needs from your floor.
Does our fit-out need a new Fire Safety Certificate?
We found no provision that answers this either way, so we will not guess. Nor could we confirm the notification that brings the 2022 Act into force in Gautam Budh Nagar. Ask the landlord and the fire service, and get the answer in writing before the GFC drawings fix the sprinkler and smoke detector positions.
Do we need a building permit for office interior work in Noida?
For internal work, the Noida Authority’s Building Regulations of 2010 say no application is necessary, on conditions. The alterations stay within the building envelope, are certified and supervised by a technical person, and do not violate structural stability or fire safety requirements. Gypsum partitions, false ceilings and joinery are typical internal work. We did not read three later amendments, so confirm the current text.
Which electricity company supplies an office in Noida?
PVVNL (Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited) is licensed for Gautam Budh Nagar excluding Greater Noida, which is how we read Noida’s sectors as its area. No document we read names a sector. In Greater Noida, Noida Power Company has been licensed since 1993 and PVVNL holds a second licence. Check the name on the bill.
How do we get more electrical load for a Noida office, and how long does it take?
Apply under Uttar Pradesh’s Electricity Supply Code, 2005. The application goes in duplicate to the licensee’s sub divisional officer on the prescribed form, with a work completion certificate and a test report from a licensed electrical contractor. Sanction comes within 7 days where the metering needs no change, and within 30 days where it does. A fresh agreement then runs for at least two years.
Will IBS design our Noida office, or build our architect’s design?
Either. With no architect, IBS designs the office and builds it under one contract, with design as its own line in the quotation. On an architect-led project IBS builds from the architect’s GFC drawings and does not compete for the design. Queries go to the architect in writing, a saving is offered only as a priced alternate, and shop drawings come before fabrication.
Does GRAP apply to office fit-out work in Noida?
Yes. GRAP is issued for the whole National Capital Region, and Gautam Budh Nagar is one of its constituent areas. Stage III, tied to an air quality index of 401 to 450 in Delhi, restricts listed dusty construction activities across the region. IBS’s Delhi office page sets out the trades named. We did not check which stage is in force today.
Can an office fit-out run through the monsoon in Noida?
Work inside a closed floor can. IMD’s table of normal monsoon dates has no row for Noida. The nearest listed station is Delhi, with a normal onset of 27 June and a normal withdrawal of 25 September. Plan terrace HVAC units, refrigerant pipe runs and roof penetrations against those dates, and remember they are Delhi’s.
How much does an office interior cost per sq ft in Noida?
The cost guide we read gives no Noida figure. Cushman & Wakefield’s 2026 guide prints about ₹6,207 per sq ft for a collaborative hybrid workplace under the label “Delhi”, with no Delhi NCR or Noida number. That is market data. IBS gives no rate per square foot. After a site survey it prices a line-item BOQ against the drawings, with design as a separate line.
How do we get a quote for an office interior in Noida?
Send the sector and tower, the carpet area, your headcount and your move-in date. Add the name on the electricity bill, the floor’s sanctioned load and a copy of the building’s fire NOC if the landlord will share them. IBS carries out a site survey first, then quotes a line-item BOQ that states the programme and each long lead time.
