Determining a Cost for Your Office Fit Out

In the following issues of “Office Advisor” we will discuss the pros and cons of what we see are the three levels of costs of an Office Fit Out – the ‘Budget Office Fit Out’; the ‘Mid-Range Office Fit Out; and the ‘Executive Office Fit Out’

In this issue we will cover the “Budget Office Fit Out”

Does this mean cheap chairs, desks and cabinets purchased from an ‘office supply store’, all held in place with staples and sticky tape? Absolutely not! What it means is clever design techniques and use of materials thus maximizing the amount of usable office space for your dollar while ensuring that reconfigurations over time can be done in an economical and aesthetically pleasing way.

We understand that opting for low priced office furniture from a catalogue sounds appealing at first, however Officefitout.com.ng knows the consequences – as we are called in time and time again to rectify the situation where goods have been purchased that were simply never ‘fit for purpose’. It truly is false economy. Poorly designed furniture, bookshelves and cabinets that cannot take the weight / filing cabinets that allow you to open more than one draw at a time and risk tipping / seating that never stood a chance of lasting the period of your lease (and potentially dangerous) – to name just a few.

For the Budget Office Fit Out we try for an open plan layout where you can potentially make great savings on Authority Approvals, office partitioning, fire services and air-conditioning. Budget Office Fit Outs are traditionally true ‘working’ environments and generally places your clients will never see. If, however, you need to talk with clients in your work place and are still price conscious you may need to consider having the Budget Office Fit Out for your general office area, while your ‘public face’ area i.e. boardroom and reception areas are of a higher quality. At officefitout.com.ng we will design and advise on the office fit out that is best suits your business without compromising on safety or compliance with regulations.
