Future-proofing your office

Good office design will have an immediate positive impact on the workplace. However, great office design can do that and continue to have a positive influence for many more years to come. Our office refurb specialists can spot opportunities for you to 'future-proof' your workspaces,ensuring that it can adapt to any changes in business size, staff needs or your industry trends with ease.

Whilst creating a working environment that is great to look at (and to be in), is the overarching aim of the project, ensuring that the space adheres to health and safety requirements is vital. Working with professional office fitters means that you will be placing the responsibility into our hands, leaving you safe in the knowledge that all applicable health and safety regulations will be met.

We can arrange a single-point-of-contact for you to liaise with, streamlining the process. This will provide you with peace of mind from project start, right through to completion.

Refurbishing your current space (or any newo ffice you're moving into) will provide you with the ideal opportunity to makeit bespoke. This means that you can make the space work for you – shaping the design so that it suits the needs of your employees and by extension, the company as a whole.

Some of the most common office refurbishment projects that we undertake for our clients, include:

·

• Office layout alterations. The best office designs are bespoke; they fit the specific needs of the businesses that use them. Refurbishing your office can find the right balance between privateand collaborative working space, as well as add in any extra meeting rooms, breakout spaces, kitchens, TV rooms or any thing else you could ever need.
  
  Much of our refurbishment work involves making alterations to existing spaces; either mass changes to the layout of the space on offer, or making small, incremental changes. A particular example is the fast-growing trend of hot-desking. This type of desk layout aids flexible working as employees will be able to work effectively from any seat in the office. This allows them to choose where and with whom they work whenever they need to.
  
• Creative spaces. As many modern industries require a certain inventive flair to complete their work, having creative workspaces can help employees to express their particular talents. Creative spaces make use of contemporary designs, with great care placed into the aesthetics of the working space. Some popular creative design trends include making use of flexible open space and transparent partitions, with attention placed on facilitating face-to-face communication and making use of technology that can boost collaboration. Having strong design elements can also reflect the brand of the company to visiting clients, as well as create an attractive office environment for prospective employees too.
  
  
• Coworking and shared spaces. Coworking spaces allow for self-employed people or small businesses to share an office space with employees from other organisations. This provides them with a place to work away from home (or any other public space), reducing the feelings of isolation. Similar to co-working, shared working spaces make use of excess floor space to share a single large office across multiple organisations. Although this approach is primarily taken to reduce costs, having a shared office (and a co-working space) can help to develop networking links between firms that may complement each other.
  
  
• Remote working. In this digital age, the 'virtual office' is steadily growing. As we're able to work from anywhere with an internet connection, many businesses are taking the opportunity to streamline their operations to meet the demand for remote working. Virtual offices typically provide telephony reception services, as well as facilities to host conferences and meetings with clients. They are ideal to create a professional front for a small business to interact with their clients, whilst also serving as a starting point for them to transition into a physical office space (if needed).
