Chelmsford’s relatively new city status has created a stark rise in demand for business premises, offices, warehouses and more. Not only is Chelmsford a central hub for much of the surrounding county of Essex, but it’s easily accessible from London and Norwich by rail and is well connected to countless other towns and cities by car.
For businesses looking to settle in Essex, Chelmsford is a popular frontrunner in terms of location. But what do you do when the only available buildings and premises aren’t fit to house your team or business operations? Well, you’ve come to the right place to find out.
As a Witham-based commercial fit-out specialist, Shakery Group is ideally positioned to support businesses in Chelmsford and across Essex. Our proximity to the city allows us to work closely with local organisations, providing a responsive and hands-on service from initial consultation through to project completion.
We understand the types of buildings found across Chelmsford, from modern office developments to older commercial units that require careful planning and refurbishment.
A commercial fit out is the process through which a premises is reimagined, redesigned, and refitted according to the specific needs of the client. It takes an existing space and transforms the layout and floorplan in line with operational demands, personnel, and aesthetic preferences, leaving the client with a business home which is fit for purpose and functional.
Crucially, this doesn’t have to refer to an entire building overhaul. In fact, many clients are more targeted with their briefs and look to overhaul specific spaces rather than full office blocks of premises. Whatever the client brief, a commercial fit out always aims to make a premises feel like home for a business, with room to grow, inspire, and expand.
With all that in mind then, who is this service for, and how do you know if you’re overdue a commercial fit out?
The benefits of a refurb or fit out include giving your team the space to grow, creating a working environment that’s fit for purpose, and surrounding yourself and your team with an inspiring and immersive area. And in a world where standing out against the competition is more challenging than ever, these are not benefits to overlook.
Regardless of your sector or industry, a commercial fit out enables you to make better use of the premises you own or rent for your business. And if the location and basic shell of the building or premises work for you, then refurbishing and refitting the space may well be a better option than moving.
Our team can offer specialist advice and tailored support to you, whether you know what you want or if you just want to discuss some ideas.
With previous projects spanning everything from full office overhauls to more compact and contained storage spaces, team breakout rooms and board/meeting rooms, no project is too big or too small for us to manage.
