Office Fit Out

In this economic downturn, businesses can never be too really cautious with the office space planning. Here I would like to analyse all areas of office fit out process. but this is undeniably a big subject, ranging from commercial refitting to space appraisal. Thus, to keep the article brief, I have only analyzed the alternatives on offer to deal with the increased space requirements. I plan to cover the other aspects of office refurbishment in forthcoming ezines.

What options do you have when you run out of office space? Office Fit Out or Office relocation?

Firms generally need more room because of additional headcount or headcount and stock. Large proportion businesses are unable to afford expanding their offices. These businesses prefer to consider the current workspace audit as well as replanning. This option tend to be inexpensive. And, these businesses would defend that relocating isn't necessary. There are many methods of reaching desired results, such as better partitioning and moving walls.

Nevertheless if your company is part of the lucky few that can afford and your additional office needs are significant, then the new building appraisal is going to be a realistic alternative for your business. Relocation is the perfect opportunity to incorporate improvement to your firm.

The new building appraisal would have the following tasks:

• space audit: forecasting the space requirements in detail
• headcount audit: planning the office bound workforce
• new building appraisal: shortlisting potential office candidates for Regulatory Aspects and accessibility

Please do not lose sight of the future requirements too. This will not only help your business save money but also will help focus your alternatives.

In addition, whichever alternative your business choose, your business must think of a professional commercial refurbishment contractor. The commercial refurbishment contractor would project manage all aspects of the work as a single point of contact. This would allow your business

• to pass any hassle onto the contractors
• to make sure that every stage is on time, on budget and to a high standard of workmanship.

letting you concentrate on your day to day business.

Do consider one of the best best office refurbishment contractors, what ever you do.

Office Rationalisation

Office Refurbishment

With the new austerity measures getting underway, the governmental organisations are not leaving any rock unturned in their quest for saving as much money as they can.

When the economic conditions are tough, the big cost saving items have always been:

• reducing the workforce,
• rationalising the office space,
• a combination of the above 2.

And, in these tough times, the effects of the belt tightening ripples into the commercial organisations as well, who do follow the government's lead in their approach to cost cutting.

As a result, it is clear the cuts will lead directly and indirectly to a drastic reduction in office space requirements, both in the public and the private sector.

As James Arthur Baldwin once said "Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced."

Only those organisations (government or private) that adapt to the economic facts will survive. And, already a number of organisations ( private and public) are planning and implementing extensive projects for office rationalisation with an aim of either terminating their lease early or reducing the vacant office space.

One of the key "enabler" for the office rationalisation has beenthe flexible working, which makes more efficient use of staff time as well as reducing the amount of office space required for the work force.

However, the organisations must comprehend the nature of the office rationalisation work very well. Rushed, and ill planned projects will certainly prove to be counterproductive. They must first analyse the nature of the different activities that their workforce undertake in order to clearly identify where space efficiencies can be realised without disrupting the day-to-day operations.
