How Office Fitouts Help Your Business Grow

With mobility restrictions easing in the metro, more companies are transitioning to a hybrid work setup. Now that employees are returning to the office, businesses need to build a space in order to encourage employees to work on site and to prepare for company growth.

An office fitout is the process of creating an office space suitable for your business’ operations. The design and layout of your office space have a huge impact on its employees and visitors as it serves as a touchpoint that defines your company and its goals. Here are some reasons why having an office fitout is beneficial for your company.

Defines Your Company’s Identity

A strong brand identity is one of the key factors for a business to succeed. Your office space should communicate your company’s vision, goals, and identity. By having an office fitout incorporating these elements, you create a space that best represents your company towards clients and partners.

Maximizes space

As your business grows, more employees will start to work in the office, which at some point may crowd up and cramp up your office space. Regardless of office space size, it is possible to organize and maximize your space by having a fitout. Having an office fitout helps you layout your space and sort out equipment through creative solutions, thus ensuring that everyone in the workplace feels comfortable.

Morale and productivity booster

Now that more businesses are returning to the on-site work setup, it is important to design and layout your office in an attractive way to encourage and motivate employees to work on site. Having an office fitout that incorporates comfort and work-life balance into your office space helps employees work smarter and increase productivity, thus leads to better work satisfaction.

Keeps your workplace up to date

Having an office fitout is the opportunity to update your office space to suit how your business operates. Incorporating modern furniture, tech systems, or sustainable features into your office space can make processes easier and convenient for employees.

The Advantages of Hiring a Corporate Contractor for Office Fit-outs

corporate fit-out

An office fit-out can unlock many possibilities for your business. By doing so, operations can run more efficiently, employers can boost the morale of their employees, and significantly contribute to the increase of your company’s profitability.  
 
Professional commercial fit-outs can be overwhelming for many. The process involves a lot of logistics, time, effort, and research to ensure that everything will run smoothly and will not result in wasted expenses and costs.

One way to ensure your office fit-out will run and be done smoothly is by engaging with professional commercial contractors. Here are some advantages that you can expect:

Expert Project Management 

While the idea of DIY-ing an office fit-out may be exciting, the risks can outweigh the benefits most of the time. Managing individual contractors and workers can not only be tiring but also be too much to handle, especially if you are not used to being on top of similar projects. 

Hiring professional fit-out contractors is like having an organizer to find the best deals and ensure that everything is right on schedule and accounted for, even when you are away. Professional fit-out contractors will take care of all the details needed to suit your preferences and make sure that you get the office space you like and need in the end. 

Technical Expertise 

A commercial fit-out is not similar to redecorating your room or your home. A lot of technical aspects including electricity and plumbing should also be taken into consideration. Professionals with expert industry knowledge can make sure your office design is done properly, without taking from your design ideas and company branding. Professional fit-out companies demonstrate strong technical skills and offer a wider perspective in helping you from construction to interior design.

Professional Recommendations 

Taking your business’ vision and reflecting it into your workplace design and interior is only among the important considerations for a corporate fit-out. Professional fit-out contractors also prioritize your budget, time frame, and expansion plans when renovating your office space. Professionals can balance your priorities and devise the best solution for your workplace and recommend the best move to help you achieve it through space development. 

Right on Schedule 

One of the challenges of office fit-outs is time. Most of the time, companies who do it on their own end up not following their schedule and meet delays instead. Professional contractors ensure that everything is according to plan and is right on schedule. 

Value for Money

Acquiring the help of professional contractors in doing your office fit-out will give you the best value for your investment. More than excellent service, professionals have access to trusted vendors and suppliers of high-quality materials and furniture to be used and featured in your office.

Beyond trends and cultures: Industrial design & construction expert Kevin White joins T1

T1 is in for an exciting year as new key members join the team. Industry expert Kevin White joins the company as one of its senior project managers to specialize in the delivery of large-scale builds and spearhead projects in the industrial and logistics sector.

“Joining T1 was an easy decision for me. I have known Daniel Anderson, the company’s chairman, for long time, I know that T1 is second to none in the Philippines given his knowledge of the industry. That gave me the confidence to join the T1 family for a long-term career path,” he shared.

With his valuable experience of working with multinational companies through the years, Kevin noted that more than the familiarity of emerging trends, he believes that having a deep understanding and appreciation of the craft makes working with clients more effective and impactful.

“Having worked on four continents, the skills and understanding I have gathered over the past 15 years is immense, my understanding of cultures from around the world allows me to understand the end-users, as well as my team and colleagues which in turn allows me to build and mentor strong teams wherever I work,” Kevin noted.

“In today’s market and ever-evolving construction delivery methods, we must stay fluid and flexible to keep a customer-centric focus. Our customers, whether multinationals or local, whether billion-peso worth companies or not, all command and deserve the same level of project delivery, Customer-centricity, that’s the way forward,” he added.

PH Construction and Industrial Rebound

The Philippine construction industry is also expected to have an exceptional bounce back this year. According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the local industry is expected to grow by 16.1 percent in 2022, outpacing the growth of the overall economy.

“I feel for the next 5-10 years, the construction boom will continue as the Philippines is seen as a developing market for both local and overseas investment. The residential sector will continue to drive the market once the government’s infrastructure projects tail off, driven still by the remittances from the OFW community,” Kevin noted.

He believes that he joined the company at the perfect time as the country is also seeing a boom in its industrial and logistics industry. Aided by the increasing market demand and the shift in consumer behavior, warehouses, storage facilities, and manufacturing will keep the real estate market steady for the coming years.

Kevin also shared that he looks forward to being one of the frontrunners of integrating sustainability with the design and construction industry in the country. Sharing the same values with T1, an affiliate of the Philippine Green Building Council, he shared that he empathizes the importance of minimizing construction’s impact on the environment.

“Our latest project is probably the highest tech/specification and highest expectation of the environmental impact in the country today, this excites me immensely because the planet we live on is in trouble and we can be part of fixing that problem,” he said.
