As your business grows, your workspace needs to evolve too. A well-planned office expansion goes beyond accommodating a larger team — it enhances productivity, reflects your brand culture, and creates a flexible, future-ready environment.
At Trend Group, we specialise in delivering dynamic, tailored spaces across the globe — from London to Johannesburg and beyond. Whether you’re in the early stages of considering a commercial expansion or already scoping fit-out contractors, here are nine key factors to consider before taking the leap.
Every successful commercial office fit-out begins with thoroughly understanding your space utilisation. Are desks overcrowded? Are meeting rooms underused? Conducting a workspace analysis can reveal inefficiencies and opportunities for smarter design.
