Benefits of Office Space Planning
Due to expansion, downsizing or reorganisation, your business is constantly evolving. Good office space management results in better work processes and a comfortable working environment promotes better staff efficiency.
First impressions are crucial in ensuring that your visitors form the desired opinion of your business and well planned offices and meeting rooms will reflect your style and values.
Office space planning utilising TWP Designs’ creativity and technical expertise allows you to modernise your office in accordance with all current legislation such as Health & Safety, DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and Fire Regulations.
Why is office space planning so important?
The goal with office space planning is to outline the immediate and future needs of your office space. Strategic space planning helps you maximise your office space potential and provide the solid foundation from which you can create inspirational working conditions.
Office refurbishment might just involve a quick lick of paint and new office furniture. More often it’s about taking a step back and objectively looking at your needs and goals. We ask the right questions and then plan the optimum working environment. For a detailed look at TWP Designs Office Refurbishment service click here >>>
Office space planning will make significant improvements to workplace efficiency effecting your bottom line. Employees represent the highest percentage of your business costs and an efficient office space will improve performance and can bring significant financial rewards.
Effective office space planning will help businesses become future-proof, allowing for potential expansion at a later date. Businesses expanding will need to incorporate new working methodology and staff with a minimum of disturbance. Your office space refurbishment will need to be flexible enough to save you money in the future, whilst ensuring your current staff feel good and flourish.
The office space planning process
TWP Designs will make a detailed site survey of your existing office space. We then gather all relevant information regarding your office space needs, including your future objectives, working practices, corporate values, staff levels and responsibility and the technical or operational considerations. This gives us a comprehensive understanding of your organisation and the demands on your available office space.
During a series of site visits, we study staff and visitor traffic flows, lighting requirements, your meeting and presentation needs, storage capacity, locality of equipment, power and data points, and any acoustic issues.
TWP Designs then focus completely on your key objectives, identifying the attributes that are most important for you in your project. We offer innovative solutions to your office space issues using 3D visualisation software, developing detailed plans presenting a real picture of your future office.
Budget and timescales are approved in advance allowing us to keep disruption to an absolute minimum.
Corporate Interior Office Design
Great care needs to taken with your corporate image. Your boardroom and reception areas are an outward presentation of your company brand and attitude. Valued and potential clients begin formulating their ideas about what your office represents from these areas, so they need to be crisp, clear and progressive.Look around. What isn’t working?
The huge advances in telecommunications and computers allow offices to shed their bulky filing cabinets and shelves full of out-of-date business directories. This space could be utilised for a small discussion room or breakout area promoting ideas and rapport between work colleagues and clients.We can help you re-organise allowing clear space between individual workstations, reducing noise emissions and giving your staff extra space or even decreasing the amount of office space you need through an efficient office layout.
Changing Spaces
In a shifting business environment, most companies have found themselves going through a period of change in their working practices. A remodelling of business objectives has effected workstation layout and density, storage requirements, and predicted changes in staff levels.
Many businesses have decided to rationalise and relocate due to their decreased headcount. We can help by looking at the space you occupy and coming up with innovative ideas that will lower your outgoings. Current projects include Mach 1 Couriers in London. Mach 1 have moved out of a large rented office into a property that they already own and TWP Designs have found a way to make efficient new office and commercial space out of redundant storage areas. The result is a big saving on overheads.
Merging Locations
Businesses experiencing a period of consolidation are often merging two or more locations to reduce costs. This can involve finding a new location and planning that space, but as relocating can be an expensive and disruptive process, more often the challenge is finding a way to incorporate new staff and equipment into an existing location.
Extending a site is often cost prohibitive, so effective office space planning can provide the solution. A new office space can achieve your objectives through an appropriate mix of practical and ingenious thinking, such as mezzanine floors, storage ideas and office furniture and fittings.
