Instead of letting it make you feel overwhelmed, you should make a list of all the tasks that need doing and put them in order of priority. In this article we take a look at some of the most common things that might need sorting out in your new office building and some top tips that should help you sort it. Keep on reading to find out more.
Sort out the roof
If you’ve just moved into a new office, but it’s a building that has been there for a while, it might need a new roof. You could have found this out during the buying process and wanted it to be top of the list of things once you’ve got the keys. If so, now is the time to get in touch with a commercial roofing expert and have them sort out your roof as soon as possible. This can stop problems occurring such as leaks or enhanced bills due to your heat or air conditioning escaping due to cracks, gaps or incorrect insulation.
Ensure the floors are just how you want it
If you move into a new office and the flooring is old, ropey and stained it doesn’t give off a good impression and will need to be replaced. It’s best to get this done right away, before moving your new furniture in, as otherwise it’s a real hassle getting everything out. Think of a floor that is designed to last, looks good and fits to your budget. It can be worth getting a few quotes from different places to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Consider the main communal areas
The main communal areas such as the kitchen, staff room and bathrooms need to be a focus in your new office. Think about how your staff will use them and ensure they’re a comfortable, welcoming and safe space for people to spend their time. You could talk with an interior designer to see if they have any ideas of how to marry functionality with aesthetics to provide a space that ticks all the boxes and keeps everyone happy when at work.
These are just a few things that make sense to sort out in your new office space sooner rather than later. While the list of things that need doing might feel ridiculously long, by tackling the ones that will take the longest and cost the most first, leaves you free to sort out the other bits that are perhaps more cosmetic rather than immediately necessary.
