Award Winning Office Fit Out Solutions

Office Fit Out

Poorly designed offices are one of the biggest problems businesses are facing today. Moving is typically seen as the best option, despite the logistical and financial impact it can have on the day to day running of your business. But here, at Foursquare Workspace, we believe there is a much better solution - a complete office refurbishment.

This is an option that should be considered for a number of reasons. Most important one is that you can stay at your current premises while still having a brand new inspiring place to work. An office refurbishment can also remove the logistical nightmare of moving staff and operations to a completely new location.

We’ve successfully delivered inspiring office refurbishment projects using existing workplaces, and with the use of innovative designs we’re able to maximise space and enhance functionality meaning moving offices is a completely unnecessary venture. Our work will leave you with the feeling of being in a brand new space without the hassle of actually moving.

Every step of your office refurbishment will be handled by us, including the supply of furniture, electrical requirements, air conditioning, WC’s, branding and any other features that make your workplace not only fit for purpose but also a desirable place to work in. We also understand that keeping disruption to a minimum is very important so we can schedule work in a way that doesn’t bring business operations to a halt.

Depending on your needs and requirements, we’re able to deliver your vision on a small scale or extensively large budget. We’ll also make sure your office refurbishment stays to budget and is delivered on time. However, completing the project doesn’t mean the end of our involvement. From helping you with furniture ergonomics to optimising space as and when your business grows, we’ll do our very best to ensure your workspace performs in the long term.

To get the ball rolling on your office refurbishment give us a call on 0800 6347 415.

Recently Completed Project - Figurati!

This previous office space on the waterfront has been transformed into a stunning, trendy, popular dining and cocktail venue with indoor and outdoor seating. Taking advantage of the full height windows and waterfront setting, the dining area is flooded with light and great views during the day. Perfect for lunches or drinks on the terrace. By night the double height ceiling with feature lighting transforms the ambience into a warm, sophisticated and fun space to drink and dine.

About Us

At Foursquare Workspace, our clients' needs lie at the heart of our approach to office fit outs. In fact, they’re why we’re here today!

With over 40 years’ experience in the office interiors industry between them, Directors, Paul and Oliver, formed Foursquare Workspace in response to their clients’ increasing demand for a cost-effective, locally-managed complete office fit out solution.

Managing office refurbishments and relocations can be daunting, so by utilising their extensive industry knowledge and contacts, Foursquare Workspace was able to help busy local clients bring inspiring workplace designs to life, providing project management, design and construction services all under one roof.

Since then, Foursquare Workspace has grown rapidly to become a trusted first call provider of office interiors in the Hampshire area, helping an extensive portfolio of clients, from a diverse range of sectors, create their ideal working environment.

In 2020 we were delighted to be awarded the Most Innovative Workspace Solutions Award, which we received as part of the SME News Southern Enterprise Awards. This award was given to us as a result of some of the incredible workspace transformations we've delivered for our clients over the last year, and we look forward to adding more projects in the future!

 Workplace Social Distancing

As the world adapts to the lifestyle changes caused by Coronavirus, office planning and configuration has never been more important. Businesses across the country and the world are beginning to reconfigure and re-purpose their offices in order to adhere to the new social distancing rules.

Returning to work is an important step in regaining some normality, however shielding the workforce from viruses or illnesses through the use of sneeze guards and anti-viral screens has become something of an necessity and is now seen as a vital component of any modern and practical workspace. Offices will need to become a lot more flexible and take into account the safety of staff as opposed to productivity and efficiency and this means thinking outside the box. Desking needs to be more spaced out and separated so workplace social distancing is observed, the use of meeting rooms must be limited so close quarters contact with others is practically eradicated and the use of technology like messaging systems and conference call software should be encouraged.

In addition to the way the workforce carries out their daily routine, you’ll also need to provide a clean and accommodating environment. Ramping up cleaning processes will help towards stemming the spread of any bacteria from person to person and ensuring facilities where staff can wash their hands are freely available to everyone. Keeping doors open and having a more open space may also help as it reduces the amount of surfaces people need to touch.

Workplace adjustment following Coronavirus could be a very stressful and difficult process for a number of reasons. Time constraints, lack of space or financial limitations can put pressure on businesses to keep their as safe as possible, but Foursquare Workspace are here to help. We’ll use our experience in refurbishing and creating offices workspaces to advise and assist you in office adaptations. Please contact us if you need help and advice on reconfiguring your office to adhere to social distancing practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does office design matter?

It’s no secret that morale is linked to productivity, given that 50% of UK workers believe their workplace slows them down. Simple changes can go a long way to reduce sick days and employee turnover; even something as easy as replacing old furniture can improve productivity by as much as 23%!

2. Fit out or relocate?

Firstly, consider what your plans are for the future. Will you be expanding? Could your location be a restriction? We’ll help you to determine answers to these questions to weigh up the pros and cons between fitting out your existing space or relocating.

A simple redesign or refresh can go a long way in maximising the potential of your existing space and you may be shocked to see how it can be optimised.

However, if a fit out of your current workspace isn’t viable, we can work with you from the start of your relocation journey to ensure that any dilapidation obligations are met and that your new premises are suited to your company’s requirements.

3. How much will it cost?

In our experience with previous projects, an office fit out can cost anywhere between £30-£100 per square foot. Factors such as size, complexity and specification will all play a part in determining a budget for your project.

We’ll work with you to determine the best way to deliver your project within budget, ensuring money is spent effectively to create your optimum workspace.

4. How long will it take?

Timescales will be based on the size and complexity of your project and will be agreed prior to work commencing. We’ll ensure our work is completed and delivered on time, with as little disruption caused to the day-to-day running of your business as possible.

5. Will I need to manage the project?

Our project managers are experienced in delivering every detail of the fit out process on your behalf. You can choose to have as much or as little involvement as you like.

6. Is it possible to finance an office fit out?

Yes! Our leasing service allows you to spread the cost of parts of your project over a 2-5 year period with fixed monthly repayments.

7. Will I need a feasibility study?

Before you set out on your fit out journey, it’s important to determine the financial, practical and environmental viability of your project. That’s where feasibility studies come in.

We’ll get to know your business, your employees, your brand and culture, helping us to evaluate what is required to deliver an effective solution. During this time, you’ll receive design proposals and full costing evaluations, meaning you won’t be left with any expensive surprises at the end!

8. What is the difference between Cat A & Cat B office fit out?

Category A refers to a basic landlord fit out. Think of it as your blank canvas - everything from suspended ceilings to electrical services are included to create a fresh new space.

Category B is when your blank canvas is brought to life. You can tailor your design to bring your vision to reality. That can include the installation of everything your workspace needs, including equipment, furniture or kitchen areas, for example.
