Your Checklist for Finding the Right Office Design and Fit-Out Partner


Before you can even think about investing in cubicle desk systems, modern office chairs or ergonomic desks, you will need to find the right office design and fit-out partner. This partner will be equipped to advise you in terms of what kind of office set-up will be best for your business and your company culture, from modern office cubicles, stunning conference and collaborative areas, to open-plan workplaces.

Here are our top tips for choosing the right office design company to assist you in this all-important journey:

Vision and Cultural Integration

Anybody can pick out ten cubicles for ten people and put them in a layout. But a serious office design partner won’t even start talking about furniture until they know the soul of your company, and what kind of culture you are trying to achieve. The discussion of company culture and values is the soul of good office design.

Experience

Most companies have good experience but what kind of experience is a better question. Do they simply make nice layouts of desks or do they partner with you for a soup to nuts solution to your company’s buildout? Do they understand how to choose design elements and use color to create unique and compelling workspaces? Experience is more than how long they’ve been in business, its how they’ve chosen to focus that time.

Facilities and Showroom

Visiting an office design company’s facility and/or showroom can provide you with greater insight into the type of work that they do, the quality of the manufacturers they represent, as well as whether it is in line with your company’s aesthetic vision..

Design Process

Design competence can be evaluated by looking at other company offices they have created and the discussion of how they will approach the unique build-out of your new company culture. Consider the following:

Does the company have an in-house design team?
Do they offer concept visuals and unlimited layout revisions?
Do they have a dedicated in-house advisor that you can work with face-to-face on your project?

Comprehensive Project Management

Your little office furniture project will quickly become a monster, and seem like a second full-time job if you partner with the wrong company. Who will track and manage furniture delivery? Who disposes of the old furniture? Will the office be properly prepped before the arrival of new items? What do the employees do in the meantime? What about permits and inspections, who handles that? A proper office design partner will handle most of this for you if you want them to, right down to cleaning the office and immediately responding to requests for repair or adjustment of furniture.
