Renovating and repurposing office space can have a variety of benefits for both employees and employers. Employees often enjoy greater productivity and higher morale in newly renovated offices, whereas employers benefit from a more positive corporate image and professional appearance.
No matter which way you look at it, office renovations add a lot of value to an organization, but it’s important to remember that office renovations are major projects that require the care that only an expert office installation company can provide.
Here are some important considerations to make sure that your renovation goes smoothly, meets expectations, and follows the budget and schedule set out at the beginning of the project.
Before the interior designer starts planning your office layout, you should make sure that they have all of the information they need to give you the best result possible. How many workstations do you need? Will the workstations be cubicles? Do you require antibacterial surfaces and sanitization stations? How many bathrooms does your office have? How many ethernet ports does your office need?
As you can see, the list goes on and on. There are a lot of factors that your designer will have to take into consideration when designing the perfect office space, so it’s important to make sure all of your needs are communicated and met.
While a professional office installation company like CHO1CE Office Installations does everything possible to keep projects on schedule and on budget, sometimes, unforeseen circumstances arise.
Just like a home renovation project, corporate renovation projects follow the same rule of thumb: putting aside about 20% of your overall budget for unforeseen, “out-of-scope” expenses, in order to keep your renovation from being brought to an unexpected halt.
As with many things, sometimes short term savings come with long term costs. When preparing your budget, make sure you understand the long term effects of any “shortcuts” you may be taking in order to save money in the short term.
Opting to use a less-than-professional office installation company can have a seriously negative impact on your project and incur more cost than if you had selected a professional office installer in the first place.
If you decide to go for more budget-oriented materials for your office installation project, make sure you have a clear understanding as to how that will affect the longevity of your office features – including warranty and average lifespan of the products.
As the old adage goes, “The only thing more expensive than hiring a professional is hiring an amateur.”
