How To Minimize Disruption During Your Office Renovation

 

One of the biggest considerations companies make when planning their office renovation – aside from the total cost of the project – is how the renovation will affect and disrupt the day-to-day running of the company while work is underway.

 

Office renovations are naturally very disruptive for your clients. In the best-case scenario, employees will be able to work in a smaller sub-section of the office or work from home, but in worst-case scenarios your clients may need to close their office completely for a week or two and will have to manage both the costs of the renovation project, and the costs of lost business as a result.

Today I’m looking at 2 things you can do to minimize disruption for your clients during your next office renovation project.

 

CONSIDER WHAT CAN BE DONE OUTSIDE OF OFFICE HOURS

If your clients work Monday to Friday, it’s likely that most of the renovation work will need to take place during office hours, as that is when most of the contractors will be available. However, you may also be able to arrange for some of the more disruptive work - such as anything that will involve turning off the power or water – to take place over the weekend, so that your clients won’t be affected.

 

SIMPLIFY THE PROJECT

One of the biggest things you can do to minimize disruption during your next office renovation is to specify products that are quick and easy to install. Any steps you can take out of the installation process will lessen the risk of delays or potential complications.

For example, specifying carpet tiles rather than broadloom means your clients won’t always need to empty their entire office space – they will be able to work in sections of the office while the flooring is being laid in other areas. Similarly, specifying carpet tiles with a non-reactive backing will mean you don’t need to do time-consuming, expensive floor preparation in order to avoid flooring compatibility problems.

We have some key things to think about when choosing one – including budget, the scope of the project and personal compatibility.   Find the best person for the job Most of us ask friends or colleagues to recommend a good plumber or hairdresser, so having a personal reference from someone whose opinion you value is a great place to start. It’s important to follow-up with your own research by checking out the designer’s website and social media platforms. Seeing recent examples of their work will give you a sense of their style and the scope of the projects they work on. Another good source of personal recommendation is from a design or decorating industry trade that has previously worked with the designer.
