6 Key Methods To Successfully Manage An Office Renovation

The idea of commercial renovation has many benefits. It gives your staff the boost they need to improve productivity, and at the same time, renews and refreshes the space. However, the project is not an easy one. There’s a lot to manage with the business operations ongoing. 


Cornerstone helps you with 6 key methods to make your office renovation a success:

1.     Information Gathering

As you begin, obtain all engineering and architectural documents. Remember to physically assess the entire space with the design team to evaluate what you have and what you need. Variations in plans at a later stage can cause obstacles in construction, and lead to unplanned expenses and delays. 

2.               Define Goals

Plan out your requirements. What do you want and why? Are there any limitations? Do you need changes? Answering these questions is vital. These help you understand the ‘how’ portion of planning. 

3.               Communication is the Key

Make sure that everyone involved is informed of the different procedures. The landlord, office staff, constructor design team, subcontractors, and stakeholders must all know their responsibilities. This does not leave any scope for miscommunication, overwork, and overpaying. 

4.               Focus on Employee Productivity

A new environment can increase productivity. So, get feedback and suggestions from employees on the changes they think would be motivational and inspire more positive energy.  Ask for suggestions to execute your project in a manner that boosts their morale without hampering their space and productivity. 

5.               Budget Realistically

Many office owners don’t plan for unexpected costs and end up in a tight spot towards the end, sacrificing durability, quality, or timeline. Sit with your commercial contractor to understand what is needed and get a better sense of actual costs for your renovation. 

6.               Plan Ahead to Avoid Delays

Complete the preparation work to develop strong drawings. Keep lead times for material delivery, permissions, and contractor mobilization. 

These are some key methods to help you plan a successful renovation in the office. Take them into account to create a better environment for you and your team.
