It’s normal to outgrow an office space after you’ve been in business for a few years. However, if you like the location and aren’t interested in moving, office remodeling can identify the spots where the space is dragging behind and correct them. Here are just a few of the ways remodeling can benefit your company.

What Are the Benefits of Office Remodeling?

1. Improved Productivity

As a business grows, the office space inevitably starts to feel cramped. Tight working quarters can make employees feel boxed in, and this feeling can begin to show in their productivity. Office remodeling with more space in mind will allow your workers to step away from their desks.

 A new kitchen or break area would allow them to take mental breaks to refresh their creativity. This will also give them a chance to chat with other departments and possibly collaborate on future projects.

2. Happier, Healthier Employees

If your current building has limited natural lighting, office remodeling may be way overdue. While fluorescent bulbs allow your workers to see their work, they don’t provide the same health benefits that natural sunlight does. Workers who can see the outdoors while working experience fewer headaches and have decreased eye strain and blurred vision. 

Not only does more sunlight result in fewer illnesses and sick days, but it also provides employees with a daily dose of Vitamin D. In the winter months, when the days are short, this can help to stave off depression and other mental disorders. 

3. Increased Energy Savings

When office remodeling, it’s always good to update building systems that haven’t been replaced in at least a decade. Windows and insulation are continuously being improved to be more energy efficient. 

Replacing your current windows with U-factor or low-emissivity coatings will improve the property’s heat gain and heat loss and reduce the workload of the HVAC system. Similarly, installing new insulation that meets the property’s R-value will prevent heat from leaving in winter and entering the building in summer.
