Home Checklists Who are the right people to involve?
There are certain people who should be involved in the decision making process. Make sure you know who to talk to when the decisions need to be made.
It's also sometimes the law to involve your staff. The Information & Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 state that any changes directly affecting staff should be discussed with them.
And of course, it's just good manners to make sure that everybody is kept informed.
Having a single 'champion' for the fit out can put minds at ease. Staff know who's going to have the answers to their questions. Management have faith that things are under control and there aren't 'too many cooks'. It's a daunting task for one individual, so who has what it takes to keep all the necessary balls in the air?
Never forget the administration staff. They probably know more about what's going on than anybody else.
As the project progresses, you're going to rely on many other people to advise you, so make sure you're talking to the best.
Your office design and fit out partner may have consultants and engineers in-house, saving you the worry (and additional cost) of having to look for and choose between external advisors.
To save the maximum amount of time and money on your office design and fit out (and let's face it, this is going to be the biggest total cost you have to budget for), choose a fit out partner that offers a full turnkey solution. From appraisals and design to installation and aftercare, they manage everything so you only have one point of contact.
This approach is called 'Design & Build'. The Chartered Institute of Building has proven that this parallel working system is 40% faster and 15% cheaper than the traditional, multi-contractor approach.

A fit out company should offer the following as a minimum:
