When planning to re-locate to a new office or renovate your present office, space planning and interior design is a complex task that will have profound effects on your company.

A relocation or a renovation is an opportunity to thoroughly analyse your needs, as your new office will be a reflection of your company. It is important that you ask yourself the following questions:

• Does our current office reflect the image we wish to project?
• What are the shortcomings in our current space?
• Is our present space being utilized efficiently?
• Do we want to merge departments?
• Do we want to downsize or are we preparing for growth?
• Should some departments be located closer to others to facilitate better communications?
• Do we want private offices, a completely open environment or a mixture of the two?
