Office Relocation

Most office moves run over three to six months from brief to move in, depending on the size of the space and the fit out involved. We map the programme to your lease dates at the start so the timeline is clear from day one.

How long does an office move take?

We plan the move around how you operate, phase the work where needed and handle furniture, IT and logistics. Most of the heavy lifting happens outside core hours or over a weekend so your team can keep working.

How do you keep disruption to a minimum during a move?

Either. Our team, with our installation and move partners, can run the full programme, from space planning and design through fit out, furniture and the physical move, or slot into a project that already has some elements in place.

Can you manage the whole move, or just part of it?

We can manage dilapidations on the space you are leaving and deal with existing furniture through reuse, resale, storage or responsible recycling, so you hand the old office back in good order.

What happens to our old office and furniture?

Workplace Consultancy

We work with organisations from 20 to 2,000+ people. The process scales to the complexity of the organisation and the space. A growing 50-person tech firm facing a lease event benefits from consultancy just as much as a 500-person financial services firm looking to consolidate floors. The common factor is that you want to make a significant decision about your workspace and you want it to be based on evidence rather than assumption.

What size of business is workplace consultancy suited to?

Two things set us apart. First, we are practitioners as well as consultants. We do not just advise on what a workplace should be; we design, build, and furnish them. That means our recommendations are grounded in the reality of what is constructible, affordable, and maintainable. Second, our heritage in furniture consultancy (the company was founded by furniture specialists) means we bring an unusually deep understanding of how furniture and product specification supports the activities identified in the consultancy phase.

How is K2 Space’s approach different from other workplace consultancies?

Absolutely. Our workplace consultancy is a standalone service. We deliver a complete workplace strategy that you can take to any design team or use internally. Many clients do choose to continue with us into the design and build phase because the continuity saves time and prevents information being lost in handovers, but there is no obligation to do so.

Can I use K2 Space for consultancy without committing to a design and build project?

It is not mandatory, but it significantly reduces risk. An office fit out without a clear understanding of how your team works can result in spaces that look good but do not function well for the people using them. Consultancy gives you a tested brief, which leads to fewer design changes, fewer surprises during construction, and a workspace that genuinely supports your business.

Do I need workplace consultancy before an office fit out?

A typical workplace consultancy engagement takes between four and eight weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the organisation. Smaller single-floor offices can often be assessed in a shorter timeframe, while multi-floor or multi-site projects require additional data collection and stakeholder engagement.

How long does workplace consultancy take?

Workplace consultancy is a structured process for understanding how an office environment is being used and how it can be improved. It combines data collection (occupancy studies, space utilisation analysis) with employee feedback (surveys, workshops, interviews) to produce an evidence-based workplace strategy. The strategy then guides decisions about office design, layout, furniture, and property.

Office Fit Out London

We've published several resources to help you plan and visualise your project. Our <a href="/knowledge/office-fit-out-ideas">office fit out ideas</a> guide covers current trends in layout, materials, and design. For real-world examples of completed projects, take a look at our collection of <a href="/knowledge/office-fit-outs-to-inspire">office fit outs to inspire</a>. And if you want a comprehensive overview of the entire fit out journey, download our <a href="/knowledge/office-fit-out-guidebook">office fit out guidebook</a>, which walks through every stage from initial planning to handover.

Where can I find office fit out ideas and inspiration?

Look for a company with a strong track record in London office fit outs, an in-house design and build team, and a clear process from consultation through to handover. Ask about their approach to budget control, programme management, and aftercare. Check whether they handle M&amp;E, furniture, and AV in-house or subcontract it all out — a single-source provider gives you one point of accountability and fewer things to manage. We've put together a detailed guide on <a href="/knowledge/choosing-office-fit-out-partner">choosing the right office fit out partner</a> to help you evaluate your options.

How do I choose the right office fit out partner?

Yes. We are a MillerKnoll authorised dealer, so we supply Herman Miller, Knoll, and the wider MillerKnoll portfolio directly. We also specify and procure from a wide range of other manufacturers depending on the brief and budget.

Do you handle furniture supply as well?

We provide aftercare and snagging support as standard, typically with a retention period to make sure any issues are dealt with properly. Furniture is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. For systems like AV, we can provide ongoing servicing and maintenance agreements. A lot of our clients keep us on beyond handover for furniture additions, minor works, and periodic refreshes as their needs change.

What happens after handover?

The main cost categories are construction (partitioning, joinery, flooring, decoration), mechanical and electrical works (HVAC, lighting, power), furniture, AV and technology, and professional fees. M&amp;E is often the single largest line item, especially in older London buildings where existing services need upgrading. For a detailed breakdown, read our guide to <a href="/knowledge/office-fit-out-costs">office fit out costs</a>, or use our <a href="/office-fit-out-cost-estimate">office fit out cost estimate</a> tool to get a ballpark figure for your project.

How do fit out costs break down?

We work in listed and heritage buildings regularly, particularly across Mayfair, the City, and Midtown. We appoint a listed-building consultant where the building needs one and manage the full licence to alter process, landlord coordination, and any planning or conservation requirements on your behalf.

What about listed buildings and landlord approvals?

No. Design is included in our contract. We handle concept design, space planning, detailed design, and specification as part of the project. Some clients come to us with an existing designer or workplace consultant already appointed, and we're happy to work alongside them too.

Do we need to appoint a separate designer?

Yes. Occupied refurbishments are a large part of what we do. We phase the work floor by floor or zone by zone, manage noise and dust containment, and schedule disruptive works outside business hours where needed. The goal is always to keep the business running with minimal impact.

Can you fit out our office while we’re still working in it?

Yes. M&amp;E is often the most complex and costly part of a London office fit out, particularly in older buildings where existing services need significant upgrading. We manage the full M&amp;E scope as part of the project, not as a separate appointment. That covers HVAC, lighting, power, data cabling, and fire protection.

Do you handle the mechanical and electrical installation?

Yes. We carry out measured surveys, building condition assessments, and M&amp;E reviews as part of the early project stages. This gives us - and you - a clear picture of what the space needs before any design work begins.

Can you survey the space for us?

Our office fit outs cover everything from initial <a href="/knowledge/planning-an-office-fit-out">planning</a> and design through to construction, furniture installation, and handover. That includes space planning, M&amp;E works, partitioning, flooring, decoration, AV and technology, and final snagging. We manage the whole process so you have a single point of contact from start to finish. To understand the full scope, read our guide on <a href="/knowledge/what-exactly-is-an-office-fit-out">what exactly is an office fit out</a>, or download our <a href="/knowledge/office-fit-out-checklist-2026">office fit out checklist</a> to make sure nothing gets missed.

What’s included in an office fit out with K2 Space?

The traditional route means appointing a designer and project manager on a fee basis, then tendering the construction and fit out works as separate packages to different contractors. It can work, but it's slower, harder to control on cost, and you're managing multiple relationships. With design &amp; build, we handle every aspect of the project — design, construction, M&amp;E, furniture, AV, and project management — under a single fixed-price contract with a defined handover date. Once we sign contracts, the price is agreed and the programme is locked. Nothing changes unless you want it to. For a deeper comparison of the two approaches, read our article on <a href="/knowledge/design-and-build-vs-traditional">design and build vs traditional procurement</a>.

What’s the difference between design & build and the traditional route?

<a href="/knowledge/cat-a-future-office-fit">Cat A</a> covers the base build – raised floors, suspended ceilings, basic mechanical and electrical services, and fire protection. It gets the space to a lettable standard. <a href="/knowledge/cat-a-vs-cat-b-vs-cat-a-plus-explained">Cat B</a> is everything that makes the office yours: partitioning, furniture, kitchen fit out, AV, branding, and finishes. We deliver both, often under a single contract. For a full breakdown, read our guide to the <a href="/knowledge/difference-between-cat-a-cat-b-fit-out">difference between Cat A and Cat B fit out</a>, or learn more about <a href="/knowledge/cat-b-refurbishment">Cat B refurbishment</a> specifically.

What’s the difference between Cat A and Cat B fit out?

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. A smaller fit out of around 2,000–5,000 sq ft typically takes 8–12 weeks from design sign-off to handover. Larger projects — particularly phased refurbishments in occupied buildings — can run 16–24 weeks or longer. We build detailed programmes at the outset so you know exactly what to expect. For a more detailed look at timelines and what affects them, read our full guide on <a href="/knowledge/how-long-does-an-office-fit-out-take">how long an office fit out takes</a>.

Office Furniture

As open-plan offices have become the norm and hybrid working has surged in popularity post-pandemic, the demand for office pods has risen dramatically. These enclosed spaces address common workplace challenges, mainly the distractions of open environments. Research from the University of Sydney reveals that over 50% of people need help concentrating in open-plan offices. Additionally, it’s estimated that it takes up to 20 minutes to regain focus after a distraction. Office pods offer a practical solution, creating quiet, private areas where employees can work without interruption, improving productivity and well-being.

Why are Office Pods and Booths Important?

The word "office pod" has <a href="https://www.etymonline.com/word/pod">uncertain origins</a>, although it was likely inspired by phone booths, as were pioneering brands like <a href="https://framery.com/en/company/our-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Framery</a>.  In the modern workplace, office pods (or phone booths) are freestanding or fixed, enclosed spaces designed for one or two people. These pods provide varying levels of soundproofing and privacy, offering workers a quiet space to focus, make calls, or hold meetings without the distractions of an open-plan office. They’ve become essential in <a href="/knowledge/hybrid-workspace">hybrid workspaces</a>, allowing employees to ‘escape’ the noise and activity of collaborative environments while maintaining a flexible, adaptable office layout.

What is an Office Pod?

Our process begins with an in-depth assessment of your space and goals. We provide design services, showroom tours, product benchmarking, and material samples, along with sustainable solutions to help you achieve an efficient, inspiring workplace.

How does the furniture consultancy process work?

No, furniture consultancy is beneficial for organisations of all sizes. Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, we tailor our approach to fit your needs and help you create an optimised workspace, regardless of size.

Is furniture consultancy only for large companies?

Furniture consultancy is a service offered by commercial furniture experts that enhances workspaces through carefully considered furniture selection, design, and planning. It involves analysing a client's current furniture arrangement, understanding their goals, and developing a strategy to create a workspace that aligns with their vision and requirements.

Office Design & Build

Office space design involves arranging an office's physical layout and features to maximise workflow and efficiency. By strategically placing workstations, meeting rooms, and collaborative spaces, office space design helps reduce distractions, streamline processes, and support various working styles. Good space design also includes practical aspects like lighting, ventilation, and <a href="/knowledge/how-to-reduce-noise-levels-in-offices">sound management</a> to foster a productive work environment.

How can office space design improve productivity and efficiency?

Office design is creating a workspace that meets a company's functional, aesthetic, and cultural needs. Effective office design boosts productivity, enhances employee <a href="/knowledge/office-design-workplace-wellbeing">well-being</a>, and reinforces the company brand. From layout planning to choosing furniture and decor, office design is vital to creating an environment where employees feel motivated and engaged.
