How Long Will a City Office Refurbishment Take? Budget and Timeline

Read our 7 week office fit out case study from 2020. When considering an office refurbishment there are a few things to consider before you begin; 

Budget: Have real expectations in mind when considering your budget. Talk to your designers and gain a firm grasp on how much each area of the refurbishment may cost. Work with them to decide what’s most important to the overall look and functionality of your company. Space and restrictions: It’s vital that in the initial stages of planning your office refurbishment you consider the space you’re working with and any restrictions it may present. Is the space just a big empty square that’s looking sparse and needs to feel less industrial or is it a small space that needs to be opened up and all available space utilised? 

Functionality: Think about areas that are most important to the daily running of your business such as desk placement, shared workspaces, meeting rooms and technology use. If your team regularly work together on projects it’s important to have a functional space which allows them do so comfortably and efficiently. Similarly if you welcome potential clients into your offices a sizeable, quiet and private area is a must.

Cost Savings Demonstrated – 2020 Financial Study

We were invited to bid for an office refurbishment in February 2020 and we quoted for complete works to a new property storey that had recently been added. The most expensive quote range was indicated in the region of 1.2m – Initial Interiors bid at a one-off fully inclusive price under £500k and was subsequently awarded the tender. 

The property space was stripped bare and it was a time-sensitive project requiring everything from Flooring Solutions, Suspended Ceilings to Lighting Installation and Tea Station/Kitchen design and installation plus a bespoke checklist for a variety of small works and associated gadget installations.

London Office Refurbishment and Style: When thinking of the aesthetic of your office space it’s perhaps helpful to contemplate the overall feel of the environment you’re hoping to achieve before breaking the space down into areas of performance. A bright and spacious working space is perfect for productivity however a more homely, warm space welcomes clients and makes them feel more comfortable. 

Ergonomic Furniture: Now you know the overall look you’re hoping to attain you can start to think about furniture. Whilst it is important that this fits in with your design you need it to be practical too. It’s well proven that by ensuring your staff are comfortable at work they will be much more productive and have greater job satisfaction. 

Future growth: The final thing to consider is how you expect your business to grow and how quickly. While the office space you’ve just created is no doubt perfect by now, will it still be perfect in the next 2-3 years? If you expect to grow your company it’s wise to consider incorporating this into your plans now rather than having another complete re-fit when the time comes.

London Office Fit Out in 7 Weeks - Momentum Transport Consultancy

London Office Fit Out in 7 Weeks

How long does it take to complete an office fit out in London? We were able to complete all of this in a 7 week programme within budget and to the full satisfaction of our client.

Saffron Hill EC1 Momentum Transport Consultancy Case Study 2020

Initial Interiors have recently completed the fit out of Momentum Transport Consultancy new offices in Saffron Hill EC1, working to the clients design and improving the design where possible to give better value for money and a office space that works better for the clients business. 



The scope of works was quite large to consist of:
  • Short project timeline at 7 weeks to fit out completion
  • Contracting team worked out of office hours and weekends
  • One fully furnished boardroom
  • Two meeting rooms with noise reducing glazed walls
  • Two private phone booths in the office space
  • An extended large breakout area with a catering kitchen and a tea point
  • New showers installed with sustainability in mind
  • Overall spec was to create an office space suitable for a workforce of up to 90 people

Glass Office Partitions for Boardroom and Meeting Rooms

The boardroom and two meeting rooms were constructed in a line, running parallel to the existing windows, with high glazed fronts to allow natural light from the windows to spread to the open plan area. With the new door frames and doors painted to match the existing window frames of the office.

The filming of the glazed sections incorporated the names of the rooms used in their existing offices to allow continuity between their new and existing offices. Particular attention was paid to the partitions dividing the boardroom and meeting rooms to stop sound transference between them, with each room having a TV screen mounted on one wall to allow for video conferencing and a visual aid for presentations.

Noise Cancelling Partitions for 3 Telephone Booths

The original floorplan supplied by the client had two phone booths, although the client suggested a desire to increase the number of phone booths if possible. By working with a contractor responsible for the maintenance of the building we were able to make a small change to one of the air handling units allowing us to increase the number of phone booths to three. The three phone booths were constructed in a line parallel to an existing wall, again with high glazed fronts and doors and door frames painted to match the existing window frames of the building. Each phone booth had a workbench installed and again particular attention was paid to the dividing walls of the phone booths to stop sound transference.

Breakout Area, Tea Point and Large Kitchen for Catering up to 60

Within the clients design a large breakout area with a contemporary kitchen, and an extra tea point was specified. Within the specification 3 integral dishwashers and an integral fridge was included. As well as the integrated appliances a specific integrated hot water tap was specified for the kitchen and tea point, but after investigation it became apparent the tap wasn’t suitable for the tea point and after discussions with several manufactures the brand Billi Tap was selected as the most suitable and a tap giving instant boiling, chilled and sparkling chilled was selected for the kitchen and tea point each capable of catering up to 60 people.

Sustainable Environmentally Conscious Shower Unit Installations

The most challenging part of the project was the addition of an extra shower unit, being involved in large infrastructure and transport projects worldwide, the client is particularly keen to support its staff in the use of green and sustainable transport such as cycling and provide them with suitable showers and changing facilities. Initially it was thought we would have to remove one toilet to be able to provide this, but with a little thought we were able to incorporate an extra shower unit without reducing the number of toilets.
