Don’t Know where to start?

Moving your company’s offices and fitting them out to your precise requirements, or refurbishing existing to make better use of the space, can be hazardous to your financial health if you are not prepared for what lies ahead.

Most managers put in charge of coordinating a corporate relocation, fit out or office refurbishment have never lived through the experience before. How can they know what to expect? The volume of detail that must be attended to is mind-boggling. Mostly, they learn as they go by making costly mistakes. These mistakes are costly both in terms of capital expenditure and lost productivity. As one such beleaguered manager put it, “The best education comes with a large tuition bill”. This does not have to be the case however.

7 Deadly Mistakes to Avoid

The thousands of decisions that face an average relocation, fit out or refurbishment manager resembles a minefield. You simply can’t see where the hazards are until you step on them. Sadly, there are an almost unlimited number of ways to make costly mistakes. Here are the seven major areas where the most common mistakes are made:-

• Concluding that one building is much the same as the next
• Allowing the Comms Room to be an afterthought
• Getting started without an accurate office move budget
• Pretending you can manage the entire project yourself without outside help 
• Assuming that all fit out contractors are the same
• Believing that the Landlord is unlikely to have any house rules
• Avoiding health and safety matters and hope the H & S E will not interfere

Well, enough of the nightmare scenarios! Here’s how to avoid these costly mistakes:-
