An office is more than just the place where work is done. It’s the beating heart of a company which gives strength to your employees – it’s the central hub for all your business activities. Your office is important in enabling your team to succeed in an environment that is comfortable and nurturing. Your office reflects your company culture, values and team spirit. It’s where you build work relationships and where your team can support each other throughout the tough working day. A well-designed office can do wonders for wellbeing, mental health and productivity. But the influence of the office extends to even those outside of your team – it impacts your customers’ impression of your business. 

So if you feel your office is outdated, out of fashion, unorganised or uncomfortable, then a professional refurbishment could be a game changer for your business. You may be tempted to take a DIY approach to your office refurbishment project but we’re here to tell you that this is actually a very risky option. You may want to save money but without a professional to guide and support you through the process, you could end up spending more money than you need. Using professionals – such as our team at Wessex Interiors – offers benefits and advantages that will elevate your business.

So what benefits can professionals bring to the table?

1. Access To Expert Advice & Experience

A professional office refurbishment team such as ours has worked on hundreds of offices all over the UK. We’ve helped clients of all backgrounds in all industries make the most of their work spaces. On top of that, we have the proven skills and qualifications to show our expertise in the field. We can bring a wealth of knowledge that would not necessarily be known to an individual outside of the profession. This means that you’ll always have access to expert advice and support whenever you need it, making the process much smoother and helping you to make informed decisions.

We can guide you through the design process, using our experience to put together the best layout that meets your business needs. We can also recommend the best materials and finishes that will deliver the best results and transform your office. And more importantly, we can use our expertise to prevent you from falling into common pitfalls during design and planning. Using a professional ensures a smoother process for everyone involved.

2. Long Term Cost Effectiveness

A professional office refurbishment may seem like a huge up-front investment. However, this investment will pay off in the long run. Using professional experts can save time because they know exactly what to do and how to do it. A poor DIY refurbishment job can be costly in repairs and ongoing inefficiencies, leading to reduced productivity. When you work with professionals, you’re guaranteed a high quality office that will last through the ages. 

3. Compliance With Building Regulations

Another advantage of using a professional’s expertise is the legal side of the job. Refurbishment experts are well versed in UK laws when it comes to building and renovations. This not only keeps your business in compliance with building regulations but it also benefits the company as a whole. Regulations exist for a reason and our professionals will ensure that your new office refurbishment meets the highest standards of health and safety. This means that your team can enjoy a safe environment – which in turn means they can focus more on their work.

4. Minimal Disruption To Your Business

If you’re running your own DIY office refurbishment project, then you may find yourself overwhelmed by how much work is involved. You may find very little time in the day for your day-to-day operations and that can be detrimental for your business. When you work with professionals like us, we can plan the refurbishment efficiently to work around your schedule. We strive to give companies the peace of mind they deserve, knowing that all of their refurbishment jobs are being handled by professionals. 

5. Optimise Office Layout

This is where we really shine. We’re experts in design and planning. This means that we can give you ideas about structure and layout that you may not have considered. We can show you what’s trending in office design and what’s outdated. We can optimise your available space so that you can upgrade your business and help you reorganise your office in a way that best suits your needs. Whether you’re looking to add private rooms, workstations, break rooms or new desks, we’ll find the most functional and aesthetically pleasing way to implement this. 

We can take care of all aspects, including:

• Lighting
• Privacy
• Accessibility
• Employee workflow

6. Increased Employee Wellbeing 

Investing in a high quality office refurbishment is an investment in your team. Nobody wants to work in a dark, cramped office. Investing in professional design means that you’re improving not only the aesthetic look of your office but also the office environment. A comfortable and visually appealing office is proven to enhance focus, increase job satisfaction, reduce stress levels and promote a sense of pride for the team. 

7. Enhance Brand Identity

If you want to be perceived as a modern, sophisticated business, then your office should reflect this. It’s the first impression for your clients and you want to leave a positive, lasting impression. An office refurbishment can help you align your office design with your company values. Whether you’re aiming to create a warm and vibrant environment for boosted creativity or a calm, relaxed atmosphere, a professional team can deliver results that suit your business image. This gives you the chance to incorporate brand colours and logos. 

8. Increase Property Value

In the event that you should decide to sell, you want your office looking as fantastic as possible. You want to add as much value to your property as possible. Professional refurbishment is the best way to ensure that your office meets optimal standards of quality. This could even be useful when leasing, allowing you to fetch in a higher profit for the property.
