5 Ways Early Contract Engagement with Your Design and Build Partner Can Benefit Your Fit Out
Changes to your company’s office space can be a huge investment, and early contractor engagement with your chosen design and build partner can make your investment go even further!
Early contractor engagement can benefit your fit out in the long run. Rather than initiating the conversation between yourself and a contractor at the point that you are ready to go ahead with your fit out, consider involving them in the early stages of your discussions.
Keep reading to discover how early engagement with a design and build contractor can benefit your fit out.
1. Save time by discovering the best step forward
If you’re approaching the end of your commercial lease or a break in your lease, you might be toying between whether you should stay and refurbish your existing office space or move to a new one. We can get involved at this point to offer our free but expert advice on the best option for your business.
Once we have understood exactly what your business needs now and in the future, we can assess your existing premises to see if it has the potential to adapt to these needs. If not, we can also help you on your search for a new space. We can also liaise with commercial agents to provide them with a brief, to help them find you a space that fits your criteria. This engagement can save your business a lot of time in the long-run, and also money by ensuring you don’t commit to the lease on a space that cannot facilitate your business’ needs.
2. Receive help with lease negotiations
Should you decide to move, we can help you to negotiate the best possible rate on your new lease. We know a thing or two when it comes to commercial leases, and our helping hand can make difficult negotiations much easier. Why go it alone when you can take advantage of our free expertise?
3. Practical solutions save time
You and your team will likely spend time discussing the changes you would like to make to your space during the early stages, prior to the design and fit out of your space. The benefit of early contractor involvement at this stage is that your contractor can immediately identify the works that are viable within your interior, and those that are not. They will also have knowledge of changes that are affordable and ones that will be more costly, which will give you an idea of the type of work you can do from the get-go. This ultimately helps to save you time and direct your discussions towards ideas that are possible.
4. Take advantage of valuable experience and expertise
One of the most important benefits of early contractor engagement, is being able to utilise their vast experience and expertise.
We’ve worked on hundreds of projects, in hundreds of spaces, which means that we will likely propose solutions that you wouldn’t have considered before. Hearing these ideas early on will help to streamline the process and help you reach your fit out even quicker!
5. One point of contact throughout
Engaging with a design and build contractor has many advantages over engaging with individual professionals. You needn’t worry about communicating discussions between different professionals throughout your fit out journey – one contractor, one point of contact, and one seamless office fit out. Simple!
