Tips for a stress-free office refurbishment
1. Note down what’s important to you
And then tell your dedicated project manager! They will guide you through your choices and make sure that your priorities remain front and centre throughout the project.
2. Know what you’re getting
A full survey and in-depth discussions will be translated into your bespoke specification and proposal. AutoCAD drawings and 3D walkthrough graphics will allow you to ‘see’ your new offices at proposal stage.
3. Remember planning consent & building control
If the project requires building control or planning consent, our expert team can liaise directly with your local authority on your behalf. You get the office you want, minus the hassle, whilst still ensuring a safe, comfortable and fully compliant work environment.
4. Go green
Reduce your energy consumption and stay in control of your bills while burnishing your eco-credentials. Your office can be complemented with air or ground-source heat pumps, ventilation with heat recovery, solar PV installations with low energy LED lighting and high levels of insulation.
