New office equipment – suggestions for your fit-out
Don’t move into a bare office! Move in work-ready with our office equipment suggestions
The boxes have been lugged from one office to another, you’ve set up the furniture and you’re ready to work. Only, there’s one small drawback - you haven't got all the office equipment you need! Don’t get yourself in a tight spot when it comes to setting up your new office! Plan well in advance the equipment you will need to move over or buy as part of your fit-out and you won’t be caught short.
The following list covers the key areas you should do a thorough inventory of and it is important to check that you have not only the right equipment, but also in the right quantities. It is also worth making sure that you have ample space in your new office to store your equipment neatly and safely.
Phone systems – This will include telephones, additional handsets, faxes and conference phones.
Alarm and security systems – Consider how you will need to protect your premises with security alarms, video surveillance or safes. Check whether your premises are already fitted with these systems.
Office equipment – Ask whether you have enough photocopiers, laser printers, LCD projectors and office supplies for the number of staff.
Environment – Do you require air conditioning, air purifiers, humidifiers, fans or heaters for your office?
Mailing – Think about whether you will need postage meters, postage scales, letter folding or opening equipment or sorting boxes.
Those are just some of the many items you will need to consider when taking up a new office, so be sure to make these orders well in advance of your move so you won’t waste valuable start-up time.
