1. Define your objectives

Future Planning: Consider how your company might grow or change in the future and how the space can adapt to those needs.

Sustainable office fit out
Creating a sustainable office fit-out is about more than just choosing eco-friendly materials. It’s about adopting a holistic approach that reduces environmental impact, promotes health and well-being for its occupants, and ideally contributes positively to the environment. Here are some key considerations and strategies for achieving sustainability in the displays you choose for your office fit-outs:

3. Energy efficiency
Energy-Efficient Lighting: Install LED lighting and consider natural light design to minimize energy use. Incorporating daylight sensors and automatic dimming can further reduce electricity consumption. All Starlight’s products use LED lighting. Our LED lightbox displays for example, provide a great visual attraction to a new office.
Natural Light and Views: Design spaces to maximize access to natural light and outdoor views, which can improve employee well-being and productivity.
By considering these elements, businesses can create sustainable office environments that not only reduce their ecological footprint but also create healthier, more productive spaces for their employees.
Office fit out costs
Office fit-out costs can vary widely depending on several factors such as the location of the office, the quality of materials used, the extent of the fit-out (whether it’s a basic fit-out or a high-end design), and the size of the office space. You should also factor in the reputation of the office fit out company. Some may over promise and under-deliver, seeing you spend more and more to get the smallest of tasks done. Look for a reputable business that shares the same goals as you.
Our portable and modular display systems are a great way to divide office space, create workstations and dress areas to bring your brand alive and make an engaging workspace.
