To meet the ever-changing challenges of a fluid business world, any growing company must have an efficient base of operations where its workforce can thrive and be productive. As the head of any company, you can use the medium of an office refit to deliver an inspiring workplace that you are proud to show off to your clients and prospective new business. I want to use this short article to highlight the benefits available to you and give you some valuable ideas when planning any refurbishment project.
Use The Internet for Ideas
There is a wealth of information on the websites of office refit specialists that you can access online to give you an idea of what is possible to achieve through an office refit. Use your favoured search engine type in ‘office refurbishment Cheltenham’ or something similar, and take some time to view what is available. Please note any local supplier you might consider for your project; cross-referencing with consumer websites will also provide data on how well they do the job.
Areas You Might Improve
There are options for improvement in all the areas of the workplace depending on your budget; for a relatively low cost, it is still possible to access the benefits available; the main areas for consideration are –
- Décor – as a critical component, it is crucial any new colour scheme is uplifting and compliments the other aspects that form the office’s overall aesthetic quality. Paint, vinyl, or plaster are options to refresh the workplace and highlight your brand’s identity.
- Furniture – Modern advances in design mean functional, colourful furniture can increase morale and productivity. Carefully selecting the right furniture to make the best use of space is essential to any well-run office.
- Lighting – Sufficient light is essential in any workplace; if possible, it should be natural light, but this is not always available; modern led lighting can now artificially replicate the effects.
- Acoustics – Not always understood, controlling the acoustics of a workplace allows staff to focus and work to their full potential. Partitioning systems and suspended ceilings are used to separate areas and control the acoustic levels of the office.
- Staff Areas – well-designed kitchens and break out areas can provide staff with a place to re-energise and then return to work refreshed.
- Floorplan – modern partitioning systems in several different materials can effectively divide the office to maximise potential; glass partitions are increasingly popular as they can spread natural light through the workplace.
By no means a complete list, flooring, data and communications and green planting should also be under consideration for improvement as they have a bearing on the ability of your company to function effectively.
Final Thoughts
When planning your office refurbishment project, analyse what you want to achieve; careful planning can combine all the factors I have mentioned to create a modern creative office in which your workforce can thrive. All great refurbishment specialists should offer you a complete design process using their experience in any area where you don’t have a specific idea of what you want.
Hopefully, this short piece has given you some valuable information to proceed with your office refit, and there are many benefits that you can access to increase your company’s potential.
