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.

Medical Interior Design

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.

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

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

Office fitout depreciation in Australia

Office fitouts bring a range of benefits for a company, from a boost in brand image and staff morale from working in a new space, to the adaptability and flexibility of a contemporary office. But there can also be a financial advantage for the investment in a new fitout, through office fitout depreciation.

The annual reductions in taxable income from a depreciating asset can improve the bottom line because businesses only pay tax on the lower amount. However, as

Open-plan office design ideas

The traditional office and cubicles of the 1980s corporate office are long gone. Open-plan, flexible spaces have become the norm, encouraging team collaboration. This change is not just about how things look; it’s a significant shift in how we think about and create our work environments. Given the rise of video conferencing and remote work, the office has to change too. There needs to be areas for noisy interactions, but also zones where people can focus on deep work. However, the challenge of open-plan office design is to optimise those positive human interactions while minimising the potential volume and distractions. The design
