Office Remodeling Ideas to Help Boost Productivity

office remodelingA comfortable and functional office space is not always easy to create for employees. It would be easy if everyone could have a bigger desk, but that would reduce available space or could even create the expense and hassle of looking for a bigger space. You will need to plan how the layout will work to maximize the space and comfort for employees.

There are many ways a desk can be more comfortable for an employee. The first rule in office remodeling is to consider ergonomics. It is important to make sure that desks are the right height, size (reasonably so) and width. It is a good idea to provide chairs that are adjustable, given possible turnover in job positions. And you need to make sure that workstations allow employees to work at their best.

Create divisions for better collaboration

This may seem almost contradictory, given that an open plan office seems to make everyone on the entire floor at one with each other, butRead More »

Boost enthusiasm and work accuracy

Colors play a big role in an office space. Since they can directly affect a person’s mood, it pays to know exactly which colors promote aRead More »

Selecting Remodeling Contractors for Commercial Bathroom Renovations

remodeling contractorsRestroom or bathroom renovations are often neglected by business owners, maybe because they think that’s not the “major attraction” of their store, office, or restaurant. If you are running a hotel, motel and B&B, however, snazzy new bathroom facilities make a world of difference.

In any commercial setting, clean, modern conveniences with up-to-date amenities say a great deal about how you view and value your customers and, most importantly, reflect your overall attitude in how your business is run and maintained. Cramped, ill-lit spaces that are in disrepair and look totally behind the times are a turn-off.

Hire Experienced Commercial Remodeling Contractors

How many toilets, sinks and urinals are required for a 60-seat restaurant? Are there fixture that will help to regulate and save on wasteful water consumption? Do your contractors have sufficient design savvy design and canRead More »

Get the Best Restaurant Renovations with a Good Commercial Contractor

commercial contractorPreparing and presenting meals for public consumption is a very particular kind of business, with its own special requirements. Running a restaurant means more than coming up with an enticing menu; it also entails a lot of work and the proper amenities to ensure that sanitation standards are stringently met in a well maintained facility. When handling food, there’s no room for mistakes or the repercussions can be serious.

While overseeing the renovations yourself may seem feasible at first, unless you have some solid experience acting as a commercial contractor, you’ll more than likely end up facing frustrating delays, wasted materials and unnecessary expense. You run the serious risk of a less-than-professional job, something that stands out likes a sore thumb in the restaurant world.
