Refurbish existing office or relocate?

The economy is showing signs of recovery and there is a window of opportunity for businesses to review their office property strategies – and secure the best deals – before office costs increase.

With businesses looking to exploit market conditions, now is the time to consider whether to relocate to a new office or refurbish existing office space.

The key to answering this question revolves around Office Space Planning and the first step to finding the solution is to ask an Office Design Company to conduct a Workspace Appraisal. This will allow you to assess your office space requirements against the reality of your existing office space and the moving office budget you have available.

This appraisal will provide invaluable insight into whether you are better off staying put in your existing office space or whether you should consider relocating to a more appropriate office building to accommodate your plans for the future.

An office refurbishment of your existing property will allow you to transform your existing office space as well as re-energise your business. An intelligent review of your current office property can often free up valuable office space and can also spare you both the cost and disruption of moving office.

An office relocation to a new office property can present you with an opportunity of moving to a better, cheaper and more appropriate office space. You can then have a blank canvas to create the ideal office environment to satisfy your business objectives. Furthermore, the current office market conditions can often mean that Landlords offer incentives to tenants in the form of a capital contribution to fit-out costs.

Refurbishing an existing property or relocation to a bespoke new office sends out a positive statement to both staff and clients – and improves business performance.

Whatever you decide to do, best practice dictates that you should have a conversation with a reputable Office Fit-Out Company to determine your options and then decide which will work best for you.
