Technology in an office fitout

Modern office fitouts are about more than just partitions and furniture, they’re about enabling the right technology for a creative and efficient workplace.

Office Design for Flexibility

In an era of remote and flexible work, designing an office with multiple options for future tenants is a practical move. Adaptable spaces and future uses can meet the evolving needs of tenants and make the space easier to lease, more quickly. For the best office designs for flexibility, there are a range of options. It could mean incorporating modular layouts with movable walls, or furniture that can be reconfigured, allowing tenants to scale up or down without significant renovations. Flexible work zones that serve multiple functions – such as collaborative spaces that can double as event venues or private offices that can

Want a comprehensive evaluation of your office space? Consider a professional office fitout site assessment before you start. Office fitouts are important.

Common area fitouts: Add value to commercial property with common area renovations

Investing in attractive and fit-for-purpose communal areas for your commercial property can help to attract tenants and ensure they stay long-term. Common area fitouts can enhance the asset’s value and appeal, a key factor when commercial property vacancy rates are sitting at more than 11 per cent in Brisbane’s inner city. Fitouts for common areas can include lobby upgrades, landing enhancements, and improvements to the outdoor or basement areas. These are high-traffic zones where clients and customers interact and first experience the property. From modernising the foyer to integrating new technologies, common area fitouts highlight the property’s appeal. What are common

Medical interior design is important for creating practical, efficient, and pleasant spaces within healthcare settings. The interior design and fitouts of medical offices should revolve around the patient and their needs. Factors such as confidentiality, maintaining a calm and neutral environment, and privacy must also be taken into account in the design. When planning a healthcare office fitout, RAW Commercial Projects also aims to deliver a clinic that is great for its staff. Clinics and healthcare offices can be complex environments with many people coming and going with different activities underway at the same time. We are specialists in medical interior

Construction Safety

Building a safety-first culture Construction can be dangerous. The combination of heavy machinery, working at heights and the use of a wide range of materials contributes to the building sector being a higher-risk. In Queensland this year, workers have been killed in vehicle rollovers on building sites, falling objects have injured people, and others have suffered electric shocks or electrocutions. Builders do vital tasks delivering new offices, homes and community projects. Their work is essential. But it is also essential to reduce the inherent risks facing workers as much as possible, to make sure everyone goes home safely every day. Safety

How to attract tenants to a commercial property

Commercial property can be an excellent investment for owners, with the potential for long-term leases and strong returns. However, it is essential that owners attract the right tenants to ensure the asset is well maintained.

A vacant property will not only result in foregone revenue, but it will also continue to incur costs such as maintenance, utilities, and property taxes. So how do property owners attract tenants to a commercial property? There are a range of key ways
