Thinking about fitting out a new office? Whether you're taking on a blank shell or upgrading your current space, the fit-out process involves a lot of moving parts - and the decisions you make early have the biggest impact on cost, timeline, and the end result. Here's an overview of what our office fit-out service covers and how we work with clients from brief to build: eu1.hubs.ly/H0znrXv0 #OfficeFitOut #WorkplaceDesign #OfficeDesign #CommercialInteriors

Rain? Didn't stop us. 🌧️ On 9 October, the ADT Workplace team laced up for Walking for Wellbeing, our fundraising walk for @HideOut_YZ, raising money for the kids and young people they support. It was a very wet one, but spirits stayed high the whole way round. We've set ourselves a target of £6,000 this year in the hope of beating last year's total, and donations are still coming in. A huge thank you to everyone who walked, donated and supported, including our subcontractor partners. We'll share the final total soon. #ADTWorkplace #HideOut #WalkingForWellbeing #Fundraising #Community #GivingBack

Before you commit to a fit-out, a refurbishment, or a new lease, it's worth asking the right questions about how your business actually uses its space. Workplace consultancy helps you make that decision with proper data - employee surveys, space utilisation analysis, and a clear picture of what your workplace needs to do next.

One of the biggest decisions a business faces is whether to stay in its current office or move. Most get it wrong - not because they choose the wrong option, but because they leave it too late to make the right one. The decision comes down to three things: your statutory position (where you are in your lease), what's genuinely achievable in your current space, and whether staying or going actually stacks up financially when you run the full numbers. We've put together a guide to help businesses work through it properly - before timelines get tight and options start to close: eu1.hubs.ly/H0zdzK70 #StayVsGo #OfficePlanning #WorkplaceStrategy #OfficeFitOut #OfficeRelocation

We ran a little competition with the team at @HideOut_YZ - asking the kids to design a brand new wellbeing mug to be used across our sites. The entries were brilliant, but one stood out. Willow’s design won - and her mugs are now in the hands of our teams across every site. Willow also took home a well-deserved £30 Amazon voucher. A huge well done from everyone at ADT Workplace - we love seeing creativity like this in action. #ADTWorkplace #HideOut #Community #Wellbeing #GivingBack

Planning an office fit out in Birmingham, Leeds or Liverpool? Most cost guides give you a national average and leave you to guess the rest. Our regional guide breaks down what Cat B fit out work actually costs city by city, what moves the number up or down, and where budgets typically slip. The short version: the construction cost is the line that holds. Furniture, IT, professional fees and contingency are where projects go over budget. We also cover landlord contributions, Cat A+ space and the sequencing that makes the difference between a budget that holds and one that does not.

How much office space do you actually need? Too little and you'll feel cramped within a year. Too much and you're paying for space that sits empty. Our free office space calculator gives you a realistic starting point in a couple of minutes. Then our team can talk you through a tailored space plan built around how your people work.

Last year, 22 of us stepped away from our desks and took on a fundraising walk for @HideOut_YZ raising just under £6,000. This year, we’re doing it again, and we’re aiming even higher. As the grand finale to ADT Wellbeing Week, on Friday 9th October our team will take on an approximately 16-mile canal and countryside walk, with one clear target: £6,000 minimum for HideOut. HideOut does incredible work supporting underprivileged children, providing opportunities, experiences and support that can make a real difference. For us, the walk is also about wellbeing, getting away from our desks, spending time outdoors, exercising and coming together as a team. Last year, 22 people took part. This year, we have 54 employees, so we’re hoping to go even further with our fundraising. Walking for wellbeing. Fundraising for kids. If you’d like to support the team, please donate to our JustGiving page and help us reach our £6,000 target: justgiving.com/page/adtworkp… #ADTWorkplace #WellbeingWeek #HideOut #Fundraising #WorkplaceWellbeing

Is your office lease expiring in the next 12 to 24 months? Most businesses leave it too late. By the time they notice the deadline, their leverage has gone and the fastest option wins, not the best one. We have put together a practical guide for leadership teams facing a lease event, covering the five options available at lease end, the true cost of each path, what your break clause actually requires, and a realistic month-by-month timeline for making the right decision. The businesses that get this right start 18 to 24 months out. The ones that struggle start at six weeks.

Not sure if your office fit-out quote is fair? Without a reliable benchmark, it is almost impossible to evaluate competing proposals, identify where costs can be reduced, or build a credible business case internally. We have put together a practical cost guide covering typical Cat A and Cat B fit-out cost ranges, the key factors that drive costs up or down, and the hidden expenses that regularly catch businesses out. adtworkplace.com/office-fit-… #OfficeFitOut #WorkplaceDesign #OfficeCost #FitOutBudget #ADTWorkplace

Most businesses calculate office space by dividing desks by headcount. That approach rarely accounts for meeting rooms, hybrid attendance, or growth, which is why so many offices feel cramped or wasteful from day one. Here is a step-by-step method that gets the number right, including BCO benchmarks, hybrid desk ratios, and a free calculator. adtworkplace.com/calculating… #OfficeDesign #WorkplaceStrategy #OfficeFitOut #HybridWorking #OfficeSpace

Professional services firms need more from their office than a functional space. They need an environment that supports concentrated work, signals quality to clients, and reflects the standards of the organisation. A turnkey fit-out partner takes responsibility for all of it, from brief to handover, under one contract. Here is what to look for when evaluating providers. adtworkplace.com/factors-in-… #OfficeFitOut #TurnkeyFitOut #ProfessionalServices #WorkplaceDesign #OfficeRefurbishment

Many businesses don't realise that landlords will often contribute to the cost of an office fit out - if you know how to ask. Fit out allowances, rent-free periods and capital contributions are a well-established feature of commercial leasing. But most businesses don't negotiate for them, because they don't know they're available. We've written a practical guide covering how landlord fit out contributions work, when they're available and how to approach the conversation before you sign your next lease.
