Most office fit-out delays start with decisions taken too late. Prepare answers to these questions before your first meeting.
- How many staff today, and in two years? The design must allow for growth.
- What impression should the reception give? It is the first introduction to your company.
- How many meeting rooms, and what sizes?
- Closed offices or open areas? Or a mix.
- What is your visual identity? Colours and logo feed into materials and cladding.
- What is the approximate budget? It sets materials and finish level from day one.
- When must the office be ready? We build the schedule around that date.
Why one team for design and build matters
When one team designs and another builds, details get lost between drawing and site. When the same team owns design, drawings, workshop and installation, responsibility stays in one place and decisions are faster.
