Office refurbishment | Tips from specialists to bear in mind

Office refurbishment involves many more aspects than it may seem at first glance. Bear in mind that it is a workplace, so any change, whether structural, organisational or visual, can affect everything from performance to the ambience of the place.

 

The workspace becomes almost an ecosystem with a life of its own, where every small change can translate into changes in the day-to-day, hence the importance of knowing what changes are going to be made, as well as having consulted with the rest of the team.

 

Key aspects of office refurbishment

Objective. This must be the key word in all your project. You must visualise what the objective is, the reason why you have decided to refurbish the offices and not lose sight of the goal at any time.

 

The reason is that there will be distractions and very original ideas that will seem great, but in reality, they will only take you away from your real objective. And not only that, time is money. Your time and your team’s time is very important, so know when you will start and finish the renovation as much as possible.

 

The importance of time is clear, but also of space. We advise you to make the most of every nook and cranny and to consider when privacy is needed and when an open space is necessary.

 

Open spaces improve communication in the office. In addition, it leaves room for light, and having light and clarity in the workplace improves the atmosphere, making group dynamics more fluid and with better results.

 

Lighting deserves special attention, as the wrong lighting in the workplace can lead to poorer performance, and ailments such as headaches and problems with eyesight as the vision is strained more than necessary. It is therefore important to know how to light the environment, creating a warm atmosphere.

 

Using too little light is as detrimental as using too much, as we will be replacing natural light, creating a negative and unnecessary impact on consumption.

 

This brings us to our next point; functionality. We are looking for a functional workplace, this means that it must be as comfortable and modern as it must provide solutions for our daily lives. We need good access, with all team members in mind, with good organisation and with a unique image of its own.

 

This unique image will give your business a unique identity. A personal, comfortable and functional design that helps both the team and any external visitor to make them feel at home from the first second.

 

For all this, it is very important to have a plan of action before the refurbishment, to know very well what you are looking for and to try to have a result that is aligned with the philosophy of the company as well as the needs of the clients.
