Office Relocation can be a costly, all consuming experience. CID can assist you with your planned office move and help you to identify a building that will work for you, in 7 simple steps.
Decide upon the type of building you need, it’s size and ideal location. Whilst moving premises is hard work it can be an exciting opportunity to re-think your working practices, plan for future growth, re-brand and energise your staff.
Once you have short-listed buildings that might ‘fit the bill’ CID can carry out reasonably price feasibility studies/space planning exercises to ensure that everything will fit and to help you set your budget.
Working with a knowledgeable commercial agent and/or surveyor during your office relocation can save you a lot of time in finding available buildings and negotiating rent. CID partner with a number of reputable agents who can assist you in your search.
Once you have identified a design and build company, this is a good time to consult with and involve your staff. For companies it is also the time to appoint a project team with clear roles and responsibilities – this should include IT, Finance and Marketing, as well as representatives from your design and build partner.
You will now want to approach potential design and build partners and select one to work with you to deliver your project. This is where CID excel as we have helped numerous companies to design and build their perfect business premises. Obviously you’ll want to obtain competitive quotes and ensure that your Design and Build partner is capable of meeting your criteria by viewing recent projects they have completed.
If moving house is stressful, office relocation can be even more so as you will wish to avoid disruption to your business. CID can help you plan every aspect of your move from packing, transport, logistics and utilities to ensuring that there is milk in the fridge on the day you move in for that vital cup of tea!
