Office renovations are regularly left behind on the ‘to do list’ of a lot of small and medium sized companies. But the potential for significant increase in workflow, employee satisfaction and overall efficiency that comes with a renovation should not be overlooked. The increase in work efficiency, space use and employee satisfaction and retention can greatly offset any expense. And our contractors can ensure your renovation is completed with minimal disruption to the daily workflow of your employees. Here are a few basic ideas on what you can do with the help of a professional contractor.

Updated Lighting

Improve your office lighting to combat the energy sapping effects of a dark work space and you’ll see immediate improvements in employee energy levels. And it’s one of the easiest renovations you make. For notable results this takes more than just buying a new lamp and sticking it to a cubicle wall, but rather a concentrated effort on increasing natural lighting effects in every room.
This also doesn’t necessarily mean more lighting. It most often means better lighting. A smart office lighting plan doesn’t mean you crank up the light sources to maximum in every location. It is about correctly lighting the work spaces and environments in your office, and a local contractor can help you develop this plan.

Increased Storage and Organizational Areas

A built in bookcase can be an open organizational space that helps keep your office flowing. Not everything has to be a locked file cabinet tucked away in the corner. Organizing some materials in the open can save employees the time of tracking them down. Just be sure to have duplicates stored somewhere safe.
We recommend increased use of long and low file cabinets. These can be used under windows to avoid blocking any natural light and serve as surfaces to maximize use–of-space.

These two simple renovations can be the start of your plans for a more extensive office renovation. Toronto’s businesses need to make the most of limited space, and our contractors know how. For your serious office renovations book a consultation with us and see how we can transform your space.
