Glenside Commerical Fit-Outs in Reading
Are you thinking about transforming your workplace through a fit out? It might seem easier and cheaper (at first glance) to undertake the whole fit out project independently, however, we know from experience that in the long run this often ends up more expensive and a lot more hassle!
With multiple factors to consider, health and safety standards to abide by, plus a business to run alongside, a fit out project can be a big undertaking.
With almost
50 years of experience handling small to large-scale projects - from
offices to
showrooms,
warehouses to
laboratories - we are here to handle the whole
fit out for you and create a future-proof workplace.
Here are some of our top reasons why you should choose a fit out company for your fit out, rather than doing it yourself:
- A Workplace Fit Out Involves Many Elements
- The Cohesion of Trades
- Health and Safety Regulations
- Relocation Assistance
- Better Access to Materials
- Focus On Your Business, Rather Than the Fit Out
1. A Workplace Fit Out Involves Many Elements
Too many times we have seen companies approach their workplace fit out in the same way they would approach renovating a house, but the two are very different. Workplace fit outs come with many elements to think about and coordinate, the functionality of the space being just as important as the appearance.
From acoustics to glass partitioning, to audiovisual solutions, with almost 50 years of experience, we know how to create a lasting space that will work for your teams and employees. Often businesses don’t move or refurbish their premises very often, so believe us when we say that it is not worth the time, money or hassle of doing your fit out wrong!
2. The Cohesion of Trades
From designers to project managers, to joiners and electricians, there are a lot of different people involved in a fit out project! Coordinating all of these roles is actually a lot more difficult than you may think, especially if someone drops out in the process, or one part of the project takes longer than planned.
With an insight into the overall programme, we take the stress away from you and ensure everything runs seamlessly from beginning to end. If someone drops out, our expertise and contacts allow us to quickly find a replacement and ensure the smooth running of the whole process and the completion of the project on time.
3. Health and Safety Regulations
When completing any fit out, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) must be adhered to, regardless of the size of the project. These regulations state that the person seeking construction work must have suitable arrangements in place so that construction work can be carried out without any health and safety risks to the people affected by the project.
Not only do these health and safety regulations apply to the process of the fit out, but there are also considerations that come into play to ensure the space is safe for people to use it. There are many things to consider, from making sure aircon units are placed so that they can be easily accessed for services and repairs, to the placement of graphics, which must be at eye level for a person standing up, as well as for someone in a wheelchair. Our expertise allows us to ensure your space is compliant with all health and safety standards, saving you the chance of your space not meeting safety standards.
4. Relocation Assistance
Sometimes it might be more than a fit out you require. We provide an integrated office relocation service to assist with movements within your existing location or to a completely new office. We can offer support through the whole process, from planning the move through to providing storage crates and coordinating the transportation of the move, taking all the hassle out of the process for you.
5. Better Access to Materials
Our range of contacts and experience in the fit out industry means that we have better access to materials, labour and supplier knowledge than you will have if undertaking the fit out independently. With a wide range of high-quality materials and furnishings to choose from, we can select appropriate styles and finishes to suit the proposed layout and usage, creating synergy between the office fit out and furniture solutions.
6. Focus On Your Business, Rather Than the Fit Out
Lastly, by getting us to take the lead on your fit out, you can concentrate on running your business. A fit out is a much bigger undertaking than you might first think, so let us take care of the organisation and process.
