Scouting out a New Office Space
September 14, 2009
When my small business began to expand last year, we had to seek out a new office environment. The old one was becoming cramped, and it just didn’t suit our changing needs. It was my job to scope out new quarters, and the task wasn’t a simple one. I had a rudimentary grasp of the sort of space we would need – a place big enough to accommodate 30 employees, their desks and computers, and an additional space for a conference room.
After scouting out locations, I finally chose the one that seemed best-suited for the company. It had been used as an enormous single-family dwelling up until the occupant and his family moved out. Suddenly it became clear that I hadn’t done all my homework. The space wasn’t equipped for network cabling. I began to panic. Luckily someone from our company knew of a place that could handle every aspect of the wiring process – even drilling holes in the floor.
