How to do an Office Fit-Out on a Budget
Whether you’re a new startup, relocating premises, or simply upgrading your current office, managing costs can be challenging—especially with the many expenses small businesses face. Here are some practical tips to help you save money during your office fit-out:
Take Advantage of Free Design Assistance:
- Many furniture resellers offer complimentary design services to help you maximize your space and choose the right solutions.
Shop Online for Affordable Options:
- There’s a wide selection of office furniture available online nowadays. Look for versatile ranges that can be expanded later, reducing the need for costly upgrades down the line.
Save on Assembly Costs:
- Most online furniture comes flat-packed or boxed, allowing you to save by assembling it yourself. Most commercial furniture includes easy-to-follow instructions. (Note: We do offer a professional installation service, which is quoted separately if needed.)
Consider Buying in Bulk:
- Even if you’re outfitting just a few offices, ask about bulk purchase discounts—that small savings can add up!
Be Mindful of Delivery Costs:
- Freight charges are usually added at checkout or may require a quote. To avoid surprises, review all delivery options and coordinate with your supplier for ground-floor delivery or arrangements for elevating heavier items.
Invest Wisely in Chairs:
- While budget options might seem tempting, opting for mid-range office chairs with good warranties can save you money in the long run. Cheaper chairs are often harder to assemble and don’t last as long.
Seek Expert Advice:
- Don’t hesitate to consult with industry professionals. Good advice can help you make smarter choices and save money over time.
