Our Approach to Office Relocation

1. Space Audits
   When undertaking an office relocation it is important that you understanding the needs of your staff before you start. Office Principles will conduct workspace utilisation and space occupancy studies to gain insight into your workplace performance, as well as your current space utilisation. From this we will be able to identify any physical restraints of the building and assess areas such as meeting rooms, breakout areas and cellular offices.
2. Workplace Design
   The results from the workspace studies will give us the foundation to create an office that reflects how your staff are making use of the current space and how they work. Our office relocation consultants will see the design process through to the last detail, ensuring your new workplace maintains the perfect balance of creativity and practicality.
