When thinking about the design of your office space, you may have thought: ‘do I need an office fit out, or an office refurbishment?’. It’s a valid question, and one we’re going to answer to help you choose the right option for your requirements. Keep reading to learn more about our office fit out and refurbishment services, and the difference between them.
Office Fit Outs
First things first, an office fit out is a complete redesign project for office interiors which is executed from start to finish by specialists. Every single detail is taken care of by our expert team, including the layout, design, budget and furniture.
Think of a fit out as a process which transforms a completely blank space into a usable one. Office fit outs are especially applicable to brand new spaces which are currently empty shells and need a lot of work in order for them to be functional.
Fit outs can often include more technical and complicated work, such as structural, electrical and mechanical works which makes renovation just that little bit trickier. Luckily, The DL Company will take care of this, whilst always complying with the health and safety regulations and all appropriate planning and building control rules.
Office Refurbishments
Secondly, in comparison with office fit outs, office refurbishments relate to the process in which an existing office space is updated and upgraded. Primarily, this includes changing features such as office furniture, partitioning, technology and style (think brand colour schemes, textures, lighting and more).
Where fit outs tackle an empty shell, refurbishments handle already-usable spaces and focus on how to keep them up to date. Ultimately, the scale of a refurbishment project comes down to what your aims are for your office space, as well as your budget.
What are the benefits of an office refurbishment? I’m glad you asked! Keeping your working environment fresh and modern can improve multiple aspects of your space. Having a clean and modern office will undoubtedly help employee wellbeing and, in turn, boost their productivity.
Staying on trend will also be inherently attractive to new people who come into your office, whether they be prospective clients, guests or even interviewees. You want to make sure you make a good impression, and investing in your working space is a sure fire way to achieve that.
