What to consider when planning your refurbishment

Planning an office refurbishment can be a daunting prospect. Whether you're relocating to a new office, expanding or just starting-up, investing in interior design can be both difficult and costly. We at Spotted Penguin have highlighted a few pointers to help companies get the maximum return from their office space.

The space’s potential

Gathering up all the information you can about your space, its features and measurements, is the first step. This will help determine what kind-of fit-out your space allows. Features include pillars, impeding walls and mains ports which all need to be taken under consideration. If you don’t have the blueprints, getting them from the builders or the electricians is probably your best bet.

Sending those prints to us, we are able to divide your area into possible sectors and choose a selection of furnishings. We will be able to maximise your space with appropriately sized furniture and generous workstations. The kind-of fit-out also depends on the nature of your business.
