Office Fit-Out FAQ's
What is a turnkey fit-out?
A turnkey office fit out refers to a comprehensive office design and construction solution where a single contractor manages the entire process from concept to completion. As the name suggests, the idea is that the only thing the business needs to do is ‘turn the key’ once the project is complete – the space delivered will be ready for immediate use, with all elements of the fit out completed according to the client’s specifications.
What are the new building and CDM regulations, and how can you get ahead of them?
Building and CDM regulations frequently evolve, placing responsibility on clients to ensure compliance. It’s crucial to appoint competent designers and contractors who are well-versed in these regulations and can guide you through your obligations while ensuring the project adheres to the latest standards.
Do you offer a free consultation, and what is involved?
Yes, we offer a free consultation to understand your requirements. During the session, we’ll discuss your vision, assess your space, and provide insights into how we can deliver a solution that meets your needs.
What is the average timescale of an office fit-out, and how does the process work?
The timescale depends on the size and complexity of the project but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months. The process involves consultation, design, planning, construction, and final handover, with clear communication at every stage.
Do you offer mechanical, plumbing, and electrical services?
Yes, our fit-out services include comprehensive MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) solutions to ensure your space is fully operational.
Why should you refurbish your offices?
Refurbishing your offices can boost morale, improve productivity, and create a space that reflects your brand identity. It also ensures your facilities meet current standards and expectations.
How to resolve your storage issues?
We offer smart storage solutions tailored to your space and needs, from bespoke cabinetry to mezzanine floors, we help you maximize your available area.
What things should you consider when planning a design and fit-out?
Key considerations include budget, timeline, functionality, branding, and future growth. Working with an experienced contractor ensures these factors are effectively managed.
Should I refurbish my existing premises or relocate?
This depends on your budget, space requirements, and long-term plans. Refurbishment is often a cost-effective solution, while relocation can offer more flexibility. We can help you weigh the options.
Do you design, supply, and install mezzanine floors?
Yes, we provide mezzanine floor solutions, which are ideal for increasing usable space without the need for relocation.
What is a mezzanine floor, what are the advantages, and what does the process involve?
