The best offices are those where people can work at maximum efficiency in a pleasant environment. If you have introduced new technology and improved working methods into your business over the last few years, and you want your office space to reflect and enhance these changes, it might be time for a refurbishment.
A successful office refurbishment should involve much more than simply re-positioning one or two partition walls and replacing old fixtures with new. You will need to take a lot of different factors into consideration: building regulations, making the best use of the available space, designing an uncluttered layout that gives each staff member easy access to everything they need, using natural light to best advantage, health and safety issues, and keeping costs within your budget.
Any competent builder will be able to carry out the physical work needed, but if you want the best results use a commercial builder with an in-depth understanding of office refurbishments.
Before the refurbishment
Call in a specialist commercial building company at the planning stage and you will get the full benefit of their experience right from the start. Changing your mind after the work has started, or discovering that something that looked fine on paper isn't working in practice, will add time and money to the refurbishment.
Refurbishment experts are able to spot potential problems and find solutions to them. They will be familiar with the latest government regulations and take them into account when advising you on your plans. Their broad experience of refurbishing all types of offices will have taught them many tricks of the trade' that they can use to save you time and money.
During the refurbishment
If you choose a commercial builder who employs a complete team of fully qualified joiners, electricians, plumbers and other professionals, the work will proceed more smoothly than if you bring in individual tradesmen who are not used to working with each other.
An office refurbishment specialist will also understand the importance of keeping disruption to your business to a minimum and will make sure each stage of the work is completed on schedule.
After the refurbishment
A professional commercial builder will be fully insured and guarantee all work, but any company that is proud of its good reputation won't want to leave any part of your refurbished office in anything less than perfect condition. After a final inspection, you will be given all the relevant safety certificates. You and your staff will then be able to get straight back to work in your new and greatly improved office.
