offices plans

We can offer solutions to all your office accommodation needs, whether it be space planning (office design), interior design, or maximising your office space. We design your office to work for you.

We can advise exactly how many people could be accommodated within your site; identify areas that are under-utilised; produce reports showing what size areas are occupied by each team, and produce proposals to reduce your costs. Via our space planning you could save your company thousands of pounds in unnecessary office rentals.

We specialise in making the most of what you have and are able to work with; see how you can re-use your existing furniture, (helping to minimise your office carbon footprint), as well as being able to source for you any new furniture as required. We are able to take a project from design through to completion.

Design Costs

Our design costs are very competative: in many instances our combined planning and warrant fees are less than what Local Authorities charge you, just for administration.

How do we do this?

We have unparalelled experience and make use of all modern computer tools, and keep our overheads very low.

Our efficient team can generate 3D and 2D graphics within a couple of days. and a whole designed and detailed project specification takes about a week.

But above all, our costs are driven down by our understanding that your hard earned money gets the best possible deal.
