Interior fit-out
Floors, walls, ceilings and joinery — the finish inside.
Interior & Renovation
We have built interiors for homes and shops in Tokyo since 1998. In Malaysia we do the same work, training local craftspeople as we go.
About us
A Tokyo trade, working with Malaysian hands
Morimoto Construction was founded in Tokyo in 1998. Our work includes a Japanese restaurant at the Imperial Hotel, and offices and homes across the city.
Interior work is not finished by placing materials to a drawing. A flat substrate, a clean trim junction, a door that closes true — the last few millimetres are done by hand.
In Malaysia we do not fly craftspeople in. We work alongside local tradespeople and train them, using methods suited to local materials and climate, to the standard taken for granted on Japanese sites. It takes longer. We think it is the form that lasts.
How we work
Built to last, locally
01
We work with local trades
We are on site with Malaysian craftspeople, not instead of them.
02
We put the method into words
Not "watch and learn" — the sequence and the checks are written down and shared.
03
We hand over after checking
We walk the finish together and put right what needs putting right before handover.
What we do
Work we take on
Renovation

A building that is worked on can keep going
Places thought to need rebuilding often need only the finish and the substrate put right. Show us first.
How it goes
From first call to handover
You do not need drawings, and you do not need the right word for the work. Start from what you want.
01
Talk to us
Tell us what you want. Drawings are welcome but not required.
02
Site visit
We look at the site. Substrate and services cannot be judged until they are opened up.
03
Quotation
Scope and price, in writing.
04
Build & handover
We keep you told of the programme, and check the finish with you.
