ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR REFIT PARTNER

So, you’ve decided it’s time to update your office space. Fantastic news! But what do you need to consider before you launch into the planning process?

There are many things to consider when planning for an office fit out, and feeling inundated is completely normal. One of the first things to consider is who will complete your design and build. A qualified team of professionals, including space designers and project managers, can help you with every step of the process from designing the space and specifying furniture to project management and installation. Here are some tips and tricks on what to look for in a great fit out service provider:

Customised Service
It’s essential to find a designer that will take the time to understand your situation and your needs to ensure your office space is set up for success. Look for a fit out company that knows how to cater to clients’ requirements, including budget, timing, team size, and business objectives. They should be happy to assist by meeting you at your site for consultations and facilitating installations.

Providing Cost Effective Options
A fit out is a significant expense for any business, with fitting and furniture making up a considerable portion of that cost. It’s essential your design team understand your budget and can outfit your office to suit without compromising on design or quality.

Variation
When shopping for your new or recycled furniture, you will want to have a variety of options. Make sure your fit out company can recommend a variety of brands and types of furniture to suit your chosen aesthetic at a range of price points.

Flawless Customer Service
Redesigning your office is no small task. It involves a lot of decisions, from design aesthetics and materials to final delivery dates. To assist with managing all of the above, you’ll want to work with an experienced project manager who can offer informative advice in a warm, friendly manner. When making your final decision, do your research and choose a fit out company renowned for customer service and quality workmanship to ensure you have the best possible experience while doing your office refit.

It’s not just you and the design specialists. It’s an entire TEAM!
Most likely, your job will need a combination of trades, carpenters, electricians, and building owners involved to figure out a plan and nut out the nuances of the space, for example, electrical, data, air supplementary units as well as fire egress. This may sound daunting, but it’s imperative. We ensure that all bases are covered, and you have access to the professionals you need using our in-house trade team. They work directly with our architects to ensure your design is exactly as you imagined, achieving the perfect balance of aesthetics, function, affordability, and of course, compliance, so your fit-out process runs seamlessly.

Consider the fine details and define your workplace strategy
Making your office look good is one thing, but considering the movement and interactions that occur in the space is paramount. Ensuring you are aware of every little detail down to window placements for optimum light, furniture layout for maximum productivity, and even the natural foot traffic flow in your space will make all the difference. Our designers are experts in creating inspiring spaces that are both practical, aesthetic, and tailored to your work culture.

What are the next steps?
Who’s the big decision maker? Is that you? Then we need to get in touch to discuss what kind of work is required and the scope of the project. From there, we can start putting a design on paper, see how the space flows, then put together a quote.

Once the revisions on the floorplan have been made, we can start with the actual build process, the final vital step in bringing your dream office to life.
