1. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
The first aspect involves property selection and its assessment. We may show you several properties that are potentially suitable in terms of location, cost (rent, rates, and service charge), amenity etc. However, it is also necessary to see how suitable they are for:
Your occupation
- Is it good “fit”
- Does it allow for future churn (i.e. changing the layout to allow for changes in business plan)
- Does it allow for future expansion?
Services
- Are the services up to scratch (lifts, air conditioning, plumbing system, heating etc)
- Have they been serviced regularly?
- Will they need replacement in the near future?
Fit-Out Costs
- What will these be?
- How do the different buildings stack up on fit-out costs? You may be surprised at the difference.
How it’s done
We can introduce you to companies who will be happy to carry out this initial assessment on a speculative basis as it is a way for them to get to know you and will offer them an opportunity to be in the running to pitch for the work. After meeting you for an initial consultation, they will do the following;
Block/Space Plans
- They will inspect each property on the “shortlist” and come back with space/block plans with an explanation of the methodology behind the proposed layout/s (there may be more than one). The plans may not be detailed but in a “Block Plan” format showing the possible densities that could be achieved for offices and open plan accommodation.
Budgets
- They will provide budget costs for the refurbishment works with broken-down and detailed costings for each property
Services
- They will provide a commentary on the condition of the services provided in the buildings
