Commercial office concept design

Red Square commercial office concept design is an important part of any corporate office interior design project. It follows the office space planning stage.

What is concept design?

Commercial office concept designs enable us to communicate how the workspace is likely to look after the scheme has been completed. We will illustrate our ideas and show how the new designs support your business needs. Commercial office concept designs will allow clients to sign off the agreed approach, enabling us to develop an outline budget.

We produce visuals to communicate commercial office concept designs for key areas and concept boards that focus on general finishes. Our inspiration and ideas will be clearly illustrated using some of the following:

• mood boards - pictorial visuals that show and communicate the use of colour schemes, textures, light, form, function and proportion
• sample boards - through researching our extensive sample library we can provide ideas and options relating to materials, use of colour and lighting together with choices of finishes such as flooring
• 3D visuals - rendered perspectives showing the new interior space.

We create workplace interiors that are both comfortable and functional. We believe that creating an appropriate workplace environment can only be done by listening and learning about processes, workflow, reporting structure and technological requirements. Out of our fact-finding will come the development of an office concept that we can achieve within an agreed timescale and budget.

As part of our concept development we undertake Health & Safety audits to assess potential hazards. We take account of the latest workplace regulations such as the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and place great importance on these type of matters.

We fully engage clients in the design process by using visuals. Sketch layouts of key areas such as reception, showroom, 'chill-out/break out' areas and samples of products and finishes enable us to agree the materials and go on to produce a specification report on the selected products and finishes.

Outline budget and pre-planning advice

During the commercial office concept design stage we supply a broad outline of budget costs and give clients advice regarding planning and building control approvals when appropriate. This includes:

• budget planning - we provide a quantity surveyor service throughout the project so that plans/proposals are kept within the agreed budget
• pre-planning advice - where applicable we liase with planning and building control, other statutory authorities, leaseholders and management agents.

At the end of this Commercial office concept design stage, we develop production drawings, seek formal permissions where necessary and provide an accurate cost plan and programme schedule. For more information about the Creating the desired Commercial Office Interior go to Production drawings.
