Are you winning the space race?

The current economic climate often means companies need to consolidate their employees into fewer office locations and make the best possible use of the space in those facilities.
This is a challenge Metric has faced and successfully met on many occasions, supported by the increasing range of space saving office furniture and business storage solutions that are now on the market.

Relocating additional staff into the existing footprint of a particular property is now an important part of Metric’s total office solution.

Keith Willis, Head of Metric Interiors, says: “There is certainly a trend towards some companies consolidating their property portfolios. In many cases, they wish to retain staff because they see the longer-term advantages of keeping a trained and knowledgeable workforce for when the market picks up so this encourages them to look for savings elsewhere. Reducing office and building costs is an effective way to remove expenditure from the bottom line. How they then accommodate those staff elsewhere is a challenge we are regularly given to solve.

“New desking and storage solutions are available to help satisfy this trend and open plan offices are continuing to replace cellular offices, which further optimises how floorspace can be utilised. Not only can we recommend the best office furniture product solutions for each client brief and budget, we also help them visualise the space using 3D drawings and animation so they understand how their new office environment is going to work.”

Metric also takes away headaches such as meeting building control regulations and health and safety requirements by managing the whole process for clients.

“Companies want to focus on running their core businesses as effectively and efficiently as possible. That’s why Metric is an ideal partner as we are a one-stop solution for the entire interior and facilities management process. We keep our clients informed of all on-site activity throughout the construction phase including building control, H&S and financial aspects. Our focus is to deliver the solution on time, on budget and with no disruption to the rest of the business going on around us,” Keith adds.

Customers also appreciate Metric’s advice on other money saving options, such as energy saving lighting systems.
