5 Steps To Surviving Your Office Renovation

Upgrading office space is not easy. Planning an office renovation can be a nightmare for building owners and managers. But a well-planned renovation will reduce the level of stress. Don't just survive your office renovation, flourish with these 5 tips.

Be A Project Manager

To make a stress-free renovation process, it is important to handle the project with care and manage it properly. Taking inputs from staff and updating the progress in the project will be beneficial to them as well as you. Make sure you’re sharing information with staff, clients, and customers so that they know when to expect projects to be complete.

Build A Robust Schedule

Whether you are focusing on a relatively minor refresh or a major re-invention, your office renovation should be driven by a well thought out schedule. By setting goals into place and sticking to a schedule, you and your staff will not be stuck wondering what part of the project will take place when, and how long it will be until life will return to the way it once was.

Partner With Proven Commercial Contractors

Construction partnering is a commitment between a project owner and the commercial contractor. You will get the end-to-end expert support that you want, need and deserve from Cornerstone's commercial contractor service in Toronto. Our project managers will provide regular sight reviews and actively participate in the process from turn-over to the opening.

Reduce The Mess

One of the most common obstacles faced during the office renovation is clearing the dirt and debris by end of day, each day. Normally spic and span offices can accumulate dust due to drywall and flooring. If you are working in the office during the construction process you will have to constantly clear the mess so that employees are not exposed to too much dust. In some cases, additional janitorial services may be required, and that could be your responsibility, not the contractors.

Remain Positive

Make sure to encourage your employees to keep them going. Remind them about the good effects their new workspace can have.
