Should You Carry Out a Refurbishment or Relocate Your Office?

At Afit Commercial, we are committed to continuously assessing your workspace to determine the most suitable options for your needs. Our comprehensive range of services includes fit-outs, office design solutions, and refurbishments to create the ideal environment for your team.

This is what you should think about before making a decision:

Office Relocation

If your company has outgrown its workspace or you simply would like to change your location, then a refurbishment may not be the solution, and an office relocation may be the best option for you.

The best aspect of a relocation is that you get to choose your new space and location, and it's a chance to rebuild your entire office culture and layout from scratch.

However, relocating offices requires a lot of planning and time. For example, finding the space, sorting out the move, relocating to the right location, and completing all the required paperwork for the move.

At Afit before any commercial refurbishment, we emphasise evaluating the space in which the commercial design is being created for. We establish a relationship with our clients to understand their brand, building, staff activities and what environment is needed within their commercial or office space. This enables us to create an effective design in line with health and safety regulations. We aim to understand your business before establishing a design to ensure that all your space requirements are met.

A relocation will be best if:

• You need more space.

• You don't like the location.

• Lease terms are affecting your plans.

• You need a fresh start.
