Great Office Remodel Tips

July 7, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

We can all benefit from a change in life from time to time. The great thing is that not all change needs to be significant to have an impact on our productivity and how we interact at the office. When we talk about office remodeling, we’re talking about a space that you do most of your work in. When you realize that you spend a lot of your time in your office, it may become more and more apparent how badly needed office remodels are needed sometimes.

But getting a project like that off the ground by yourself can be daunting. It’s a great idea to call in the experts for a job like an office remodel. The reasons for this are numerous, but the main idea is that an expert handling the job will be able to get it done right the first time. This will save you both time and money if you assume that you will need to go back and touch up any of the work you’ve already done.

Some great tips for remodeling the office include:

 

  • Tackle the Workspace– Your workspace is important because that’s where you typically spend most of your time when at work. This should be an environment that keeps you productive and sane while plugging away long hours. That’s why it may be first thing you want to remodel. Using whites and other colors that aren’t too distracting may help in keeping you productive.
  • The Common Space– This is a place where your employees gather for meetings or take a break. This space should elicit a comfortable feeling, as this is where you go to get away from the workload for a minute or two. When remodeling the common space, you should keep in mind that it should work for everyone. A too specific of a style may not be the best for this area so keep the design simple and accommodating for everyone.
  • The Kitchen– Employees get hungry, so make sure they have a great and efficient place to make some lunch. The kitchen should be able to support multiple people in it at one time comfortably. That is what makes the kitchen different at the office than at home. While a kitchen remodel at work may not be at the top of your priorities, it can certainly add a much needed improvement to any office.

If you are contemplating an office remodel, call the experts at Silicon X Construction!

mx1Running a business is hard work. If you’ve ever been in charge of operations and maintenance of a business or a facility of a business, you can definitely appreciate that there are times when routine maintenance and upkeep are required. General upkeep of a business is one of those tasks that may get swept under the rug or taken care of by a third party that the majority of employees or members of staff don’t think about.

Hiring a Professional vs. Doing it Yourself

May 5, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

renov2You may fancy yourself a handyman capable of handling some big projects when it comes to renovating or adding on space to an existing business or home. While this may certainly be true, there’s nothing quite like hiring a professional to do the job for you right the first time. There are many benefits that are associated with hiring a commercial contractor for the next renovation to your business, much of which will save you the actual time of getting your project off the ground.

We agree that there is a certain level of satisfaction that is obtained from completing a project by yourself. But the actual time and resources needed to do the job, and do it right, sometimes far outweigh the desire to do the job. It’s also important to note that most of the time the do-it-yourself projects are done by people who already have full time jobs. Trying to complete a major project in your spare time can be really tough.

mx2The benefits of hiring a professional include:

  • Getting years of expertise– One of the great things about hiring a professional include hiring a company that performs renovations for a living. That typically means that the company has a proven track record of success and has completed a few jobs to date. Given this information, you can rest assured that the job will be done right.
  • Saving time and resources– Doing a project yourself, no matter what scope or size, is going to take quite a bit of planning. As mentioned earlier, most this comes from the free or spare time of someone who already works. The last thing someone wants to do is work in his or her spare time. That’s why hiring a commercial contractor is beneficial for everyone.
  • Getting the job done right– After spending time on a project, you just want it to be done. Imagine having to go back and fix any mistakes that were made. Hiring a professional commercial contractor for the job will eliminate this as any reputable company will stand by their work and make sure it gets done right the first time.

While it can certainly be fun at times to pursue a project by yourself, the bottom line is that it doesn’t compare with calling in the pros to handle it.
