Light commercial spaces and offices can have decades-long lifespans when they’re maintained properly. Longevity is great, but business needs, technologies, and even design styles change much more frequently. What does that mean for you? Your business might be in need of a commercial remodel sooner than you think — whether you lease or own the space, and whether you’ve been there for 5 years or 30.
At Hamilton Homes, our experience spans custom office build-outs and renovations. Here are a few of the biggest signs that it’s time to put a commercial remodel in your business plan.
1. Your office space is outdated
For decades, cubicles filled offices. Windows were few and far between. Conference rooms were designed on the assumption that everyone would be there in person. Now, things have changed.
Older office buildings don’t always serve the needs of modern organizations. If your office lacks collaborative spaces, natural light, or technology integrations to connect remote teams, it might be time to design something new.
2. Your business has changed
Maybe your team has grown, and your current workspace feels cramped. Maybe you’ve hired remote workers alongside your in-person team, and you need new ways to collaborate more effectively. Or maybe your business has expanded, you’re bringing more customers into the office, and the existing space doesn’t represent your brand in the best possible way.
Every business evolves over time. A commercial remodel gives you the ability to better support your business operations, your employees, and your customers.
3. Your utility bills are costly
If you’ve noticed utility bills rising, your building could be partially to blame. Older commercial buildings and mechanical systems simply aren’t as efficient as new technologies, and avoiding upgrades could be costing your bottom line or even putting the structural integrity of the building at risk.
When you renovate your office space, you can integrate energy efficient technologies and systems into the design — from upgraded HVAC systems to eco-friendly light and plumbing fixtures. Plus, it’s the perfect time to repair issues like water leaks.
4. You want employees to look forward to coming into the office
It’s no secret that work culture has shifted in the last few years. People started working from home in early 2020, and now, many organizations are struggling to get employees excited about coming back to the office.
Remodeling your space can address some of the changes in how people work. Consider including design features like ergonomic chairs, standing desks, and convenient food options that allow employees to feel comfortable during the workday.
