Reconfiguration vs. Redesign vs. Remodel


Even the best-designed office space will become dated and tired over time, and changing it is all about keeping your brand current and relevant. If you aren’t moving to a new location, then your main options are to reconfigure your space, redesign your office or remodel. Here’s how each option measures up, from our contemporary office furniture specialists.

Option #1 – The Office Reconfiguration

This is the most budget-friendly and simplest way to refresh your office space, as it generally involves replacing worn out office furniture, changing your layout, and repurposing existing pieces.
It’s the best option for offices where everything is in fairly good condition and only a few changes are needed to bring out the best in the space. It’s more about replacing items that are nearing the end of their lifespan or are damaged and trying out new layouts to improve workflow than it is about transforming the look of the office completely. With just a couple of affordable contemporary office ideas from design specialists and some key items, you can make a real difference to how your office works and feels.

Depending on the scope of your project, a reconfiguration can take just a day or two with minimal inconvenience to staff.

Option #2 – The Office Redesign

This is a more in-depth transformation that’s driven by a need to refresh the aesthetics of the office space. If your office looks bland, dated or shabby, then this is usually the best option to choose.
Typical projects in an office redesign include reconfiguring the space and replacing worn items as well as bigger projects like upgrading the lighting system, installing video conferencing equipment, repainting, redoing the flooring, and installing modern workstation options like ergonomic furniture and sit stand desks.

This is a great option if you want to improve staff morale and retention, and want to create contemporary office interiors that prioritize wellness have a real wow-factor – but without spending too much of your budget.

It’s also a popular option for organizations seeking solutions to the challenges of COVID-19, who need to create ways that employees can socially distance at work, maintain strict hygiene protocols and keep the workplace clean. Common projects include installing privacy or clear acrylic screens at workstations and reception desks, installing hygienic HEPA air filtration units and replacing furniture that easily gets dirty with options that can quickly and easily be sanitized.

Depending on the scope of your project, a reconfiguration can take a few days or a work week with moderate inconvenience to staff.

Option #3 – The Office Remodel

This is the most intensive and thorough transformation your workspace can undergo while remaining in the same space. In addition to the types of projects covered in a redesign and reconfiguration, a remodeling can completely transform your space from the floors to the ceiling and everything in between.

Typical remodeling projects involve new flooring, the installation of new walls and glass architectural walls to create new space, installation of new tech systems, new ceilings, and entirely new spaces like office kitchens, cafeterias and restrooms. This is the most costly option, but the results are worth it when you work with a professional team. It is a complete reimagining of your space in line with your vision and brand, and should last many years to come.

As you can imagine, these are fairly extensive and noisy projects that generally require organizations to fully move out of the space temporarily, and employees often work from home for the week or two that the remodel requires.

  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace.
