Office Fit-out Services that Deliver
A professional office fit-out can make the difference between a good office and a great office. An office that just looks the part and an office that actually delivers real benefits, for productivity, efficiency, health and wellbeing.
But in order to realise those advantages, an office re-fit has to be about more than just new branding and ergonomic furniture. It has to reflect and embody your business as a whole: your goals, your values, your personality.
That’s why we make one of the first parts of the office redesign process a thorough briefing to ensure we really understand you and your business. As well as covering your industry and offer, we’ll also delve into your aims and values, gradually building a picture of not just what your business does, but how it feels.
Identify requirements
We’ll talk to you about what you want from your new workspace, but we’ll also give you the benefit of our decades of experience, guiding and advising you on everything from layouts to lighting.
Whether you’re moving offices, revamping your current office interior or refurbishing somewhere new, we’ll undertake a full site survey to make sure we know how your space is used currently and what you want to change.
Then, taking into account your budget and timescale, we’ll review your wishlist with you. Acting as office fit-out consultants, we’ll consider
- where, when and how your people work
- how you want the space to feel
- what technology needs to be included
- how to futureproof the space
- where your branding can be incorporated
- what would make it a more productive environment
- how we can include energy saving or other environmental elements
and more to make sure what you want aligns with what you need – and that your new office works on every level for you and your team.
Maximising the space
This evaluation happens regardless of the size or style of office you’re redeveloping. Because large or small, modern or period, the importance of proper space planning and analysis in creating the perfect office shouldn’t be underestimated.
Good planning and design can be transformative. It can change a small, crowded workplace into a busy hub of productivity. Convert a bland and monotonous corporate environment into a vibrant, engaging centre for collaboration and team work. Similarly, incorporating features such as integrated storage solutions, access to natural light and relaxed breakout areas can bring significant benefits in terms of both efficiency and wellbeing.
But it’s important to consider these elements early on in the process – and we’re used to working well in advance. Our clients include commercial property developers and landlords as well as businesses like yours so we’re used to working on both Cat A and Cat B fit-outs and can undertake projects at either level with ease.
Working with experts
Whatever stage your new office is at, from an empty shell to an occupied workspace, bringing an experienced fit-out company onboard early is the best way to ensure the finished result meets all your needs.
As well as drawing on our own decades of experience, we work with trusted designers, tradespeople and fit-out specialists to create not just a design, but a complete project plan, clearly laying out timescales and costs as well as any potential issues our team may have identified.
When it comes to securing planning permission, complying with legislation and meeting other requirements, you can leave that to us too. We work closely with Local Authorities and understand the paperwork and approvals that are needed.
Your dedicated project manager will talk you through everything and work with you closely during the whole project. This provides you with a single point of contact right from the start so there’s no confused communication or mixed messages. As an expert in all things office refurbishment-related, they take on the job of managing teams, coordinating contractors and troubleshooting issues, so you can focus on running your business.
Bringing your ideas to life
Gradually, you’ll start to see the project coming to life. From technical drawings, specification sheets and computer visualisations will come an active and busy building site, as partitions are removed and replaced, utilities connected and decoration finalised.
An office refit is likely to be one of the most significant investments you make in your business, so it’s important to ensure that it’s not just fit for purpose now, but into the future too. We keep abreast of style trends and technological developments so we can be sure we’re installing the very latest systems. Systems that deliver energy efficiency savings as well as superior performance, so your office is fit for tomorrow as well as today.
Ongoing support
And when tomorrow comes? We’ll still be by your side. In fact, our involvement in your office fit-out doesn’t end until you want it to. Via our raft of other services, including building maintenance and decorating, we can support you all the way from the initial design process, through the building and refurbishment work and beyond.
We’ll iron out any niggles in the new office and ensure dilapidations clauses for your old place are met.
And we’ll see you installed in an office that delivers on every level.
