So you’ve reached that point where your business has grown well past the four walls of your current office. You’ve expanded your operations, increased production, and added more members to your team. Congratulations! Not a lot of businesses reach this point.
But before you move out of your current space and rent a (slightly larger) one, you might want to keep reading.
More and more business owners are looking into efficient, cost-effective solutions for physical expansion, and raised offices are looking to be the next game-changer.
It’s more akin to an architectural hack, really.
Raised offices allow you to physically increase your current floor area without actually building an additional wing or room.
That’s a lot of time, effort, and resources saved!
What Is A Raised Office?
As the name suggests, a raised office essentially uses a raised flooring system—a construction model wherein an elevated floor is built over the existing floor (usually a concrete slab). This creates an open space of about four or so inches between the high flooring and the original.
Most modern offices that use a raised flooring system (also referred to as raised access flooring) utilise this extra room to house electrical, mechanical, and cooling infrastructure.
A data management centre, for example, might use the extra space exclusively for cabling and electrical outlets. A marketing company, on the other hand, might prefer to use the extra space for ventilation and airflow. It largely depends on the nature of the office.
Now that you’ve more or less got an idea of how it works, here’s why you need to transition to a raised office:
Cost-Efficient & Customisable Floor Reconfiguration
Offices that use a raised access flooring system will find it easier to customise and renovate their workspace as needed—without the resource-draining drawbacks of a full-scale renovation. Since raised flooring comes in modular sections that can easily be added or removed, rearranging the office layout to suit your current spatial needs will be quicker and more cost-effective. You can even purchase and install additional sections as needed.
Doubles Market Value
Commercial properties that use a raised flooring system have a much higher price tag on them. They offer more floor/storage space within the area constraints, thus exponentially increasing their market worth. When the time comes to sell, you’ll definitely earn back your investment—and then some!
These raised access flooring systems work with almost any commercial space. Raised offices are a fast and efficient way to create new working/living spaces within a relatively short period of time and with a relatively small investment, too.
