What does office refurbishment mean?
An office refurbishment is a redesign or renovation of your current office space. This could be to improve operational efficiency, rebrand the space, upgrade the fixtures and decor, or to improve the working environment. The benefits include motivating staff and improving staff retention, and to create a workplace that will attract and impress clients.
Can my office be refurbished without disrupting my business?
Yes, of course! Here at Allspace Design, we provide a workplace consultancy and project management service, where we work with you to minimise any disruption to your business. We provide you with the benefit of a single point of contact for all aspects of your refurbishment project, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business and those priorities.
What does an office refurbishment involve?

Do my staff need to leave the office during a refurbishment?
This is solely dependent on your specific working situation. If the project is for a brand new office space that has not yet moved the team in, then the answer is no and the project has the possibility of being completed that little bit quicker.
However, if the refurbishment is for an existing office then we would try to work around your team and minimise any disruption to your business as much as possible. Occasionally your staff may need to leave the office during a refurbishment, but this will be taken into consideration when your project manager assesses the project and communicated clearly with you to allow for advance planning.
Who carries out an office refurbishment?
Ahead of your project, we will assign a single point of contact to your refurbishment project, and they will manage the team assigned to different tasks, including surveyors, interior designers and tradespeople.
Your project manager will also manage the construction and furniture installation teams, so you can rest assured that the process is in good hands from start to finish
Can an office refurbishment improve staff productivity?
Improving the office environment for your team can absolutely improve staff productivity, as well as motivation and wellbeing. It is often one of the key reasons why businesses go ahead with an office refurbishment.
A well-designed workplace can boost your mood, group necessary teams together, recognise goals and objectives and provide 'down time' for those who need a breather.
