Yes, There is a Right (and a Wrong) Way to Update Your Office

When it’s time to renovate your office the decision-making process can be daunting – but there is a better way. Updating your office can play an important role in revitalizing your business, but it can also be unnecessarily costly and usually presents very few eco-friendly options.

Decommissioning the surplus furniture that is on its way out of your office is an important but often troublesome component of this process. A well-designed office update that both manages expenses and minimizes risks to environmental sustainability begins with a plan.

Companies large and small often encounter obstacles in their efforts to update their office environment; it is necessary to consider and coordinate variables that often compete against each other. Companies tend to rely on massive furniture liquidators during an office update, and the used furniture usually ends up being dumped in a landfill where it not only contributes to environmental waste but also represents a financially imprudent choice. More and more, companies are looking for ways to fortify their sustainability on every front, and streamlining the financial and environmental impact of office updates is integral to this process.

Planning is Critical to a Successful Office Update

A carefully conceived plan will help guide your business through the pitfalls that nearly all businesses face when beginning the office-update process. Such a plan should include:

  • Creating a thorough office inventory that accurately reflects the office furniture that you have on hand and the condition that each piece of furniture is in (a spreadsheet is a good place to start);
  • Understanding what your office update goals are – such goals as financial return for office surplus, reduced expense for new purchases, and an ecofriendly process often top the list;
  • Preparing for the inherent risks of managing a large surplus is crucial to the outcome of your project – a thoughtful and carefully implemented schedule is imperative;
  • Planning a budget for your office update by incorporating all of the information you’ve gathered (remember that the dismantling and removal costs for decommissioned office furniture is often the largest expense); and
  • Engaging a company, like National Project Group (NPG), that is reputable, reliable, and experienced in the business of managing a vast array of decommissioning projects; this could be the most important step you will take in the process of ensuring your company’s smooth transition into a successfully updated office.
