How To Conduct An Office Fitout

Blog

The primary objectives of an office fitout is to enhance your brand image and create a comfortable working space for your employees. The truth is, most corporates experience difficulties when renovating or creating their office space. So, how can you conduct an office fitout? Below is an excerpt discussing how to go about an office fitout

Preparatory Tips

Inspect the space to determine any preparation works that you should conduct before the fitout. For instance, you may need to remove asbestos or defit the existing space. Consult with your property manager before renovating the space. For example, your lease contract could prohibit you from pulling down walls or changing the floors. Hire a professional office fitout company to conduct the works. Consider the following when hiring an office fitout company: 

  • What are the company's experience and reputation? Check client testimonials, the company's portfolio, and internet reviews to determine the company's expertise.
  • How long will the company take to renovate the office? It is an essential consideration if you intend to move in within a few days.
  • Does the company have adequate insurance cover? General liability coverage will protect your organisation from insurance claims in case of an accident.
  • Remember to assess the company's terms of contract and pricing.  

Fitout Design

Meet with the fitout company and agree on a suitable design. If possible, you should adopt an open floor design. It enhances the appeal of your office, allows free flow of information, and eases supervision. You could divide the office into sections to ensure customers and other publics have an easy time navigating around the office. Use live plants to improve air quality and office aesthetics. 

Avoid cluttering your office with too much furniture and equipment. Have an office storage space where you can install servers, store furniture and documents that you do not need. Conceal electrical wiring and equipment such as CPUs and sockets. Remember, wires on the floor and walls will make your office look untidy. 

The front desk must be appealing. If possible, it should have your brand name and logo. You could also incorporate your organisational goals and mission statement. Your office should have a lounge where customers can relax as they wait to talk with your employees. The lounge should have a comfortable seat, television, free wifi, a coffee maker, and a water dispenser. Allocate some space for a conference room to hold meetings. You should have a recreational area for your employees to relax during tea and lunch breaks. 

Your office fitout project should not cost an arm and a leg. Consider cost-saving mechanisms such as using recycled materials, incorporating energy efficiency, and using cheap but quality materials.
