  • How does a refurbishment work?

    Typically, a refurbishment would take place out of your working hours i.e. weekends or nights. The work can be costly as it occurs outside normal working hours but the advantage is that it allows your pace of business to continue with minimal disruption. Enough time needs to be factored in to your plan in order to lay the necessary protections down in your office and remove them upon completion.

  • At Oktra, we work with you to discover how your business operates and what is the best plan for you. We offer phasing as an option to reduce costs and impact on your business; this can be a better fit if you have a more flexible timeline.

    We work with you to configure how your refurbishment is going to take place with regards to your day-to-day activities. An in-situ refurbishment could pose as an interference to your business unless it is carefully organised to suit your practice. We make it our priority to construct thorough timelines and schedules that ensure efficiency, quality and cost are well balanced throughout your office refurbishment project.
