When considering if an office mezzanine floor is the right solution for your business, we know that the cost of the mezzanine floor will naturally have a large impact on if you decide to go ahead with it or not. In this blog, we discuss more about the benefits of mezzanine floors for offices and detail some of the factors which will influence the cost of the final mezzanine.
What is an office mezzanine structure?
An office mezzanine floor is a steel structure which helps you add more floor space to your office without the need to relocate or expand. The structure creates a second level and is often used to create extra office space in more industrial units such as warehouses (but this of course is not its exclusive use).
The benefits of office mezzanine floors
Mezzanine floors provide a plethora of benefits, here are our top 3!
1. Increased floor space
Of course, the main reason you may be considering an office mezzanine floor is for additional floor space. Mezzanines can be made in a variety of sizes, allowing you to customise your new floor, based on how much or little space you need.
2. Money saving abilities
This may seem counterintuitive if your company is ready to invest heavily into a new mezzanine floor, however consider the alternatives. For many companies we work with, the alternative might be to relocate to a larger premises. This brings its own additional costs, not just in the renting and running of a larger premises, but also in moving your entire company, changing your company address and many other admin tasks.
3. Temporary solution
As a mezzanine floor does not cover the entirety of your floor space, a mezzanine can often be adjusted or removed if your situation changes. This can often bring peace of mind to many business owners who are unsure if a mezzanine is right for them.
What factors influence the cost of your new mezzanine floor?
The cost of your new mezzanine office floor will vary depending on a number of factors, the main one being the size of the structure. The larger your mezzanine floor, the more materials it will take to construct and it may take a larger workforce or a longer amount of time to construct. The cost of a mezzanine floor is measured by square metre, so if budget allowance is tight, consider investing in a smaller mezzanine.
Aside from the size, the complexity of design will also impact how much you pay. How many staircases/stairs do you require? Do you need additional resources fed into your floor, such as electricity, water or gas (eg for a kitchen)? All these features will need to be considered in your mezzanine floor quote
