01
Be positive and enthusiastic
Believe in your project and your ability to deliver something outstanding in a short time. We’re here to make it all happen for you... and even more elegantly than you thought possible. Great things lie ahead.
Work with your executives and teams to decide what you want your new workplace to look like, feel like, and do. What are your minimum fitout requirements, such as the number of workstations or office structures? What are your aspirations? What would you fix about the way you currently work, and what new objectives might you like to tackle? If you don’t have time to do this, we can do it for you.
Write out your wish list
02
Define whether you’ll be expanding where you are, refurbishing your existing space, downsizing to release space in your current office, or moving to a new location. We urge you to think outside the box if you haven’t already confirmed your new space: are there different ways of achieving your goals within your timeframe?
Be creative and flexible
03
Extending your current lease on
a short-term basis
Taking coworking spaces as an
interim measure
Temporarily renting a space which
is already fitted out
Doing a phased occupation and moving people over progressively
Fitting out your workplace once you’ve moved in: we can work around you, quite literally, with minimum disruption.

If you’re moving, understand the challenges of your new building/s and the configuration of your space. Compile all the relevant paperwork and plans, too. If we can make your workplace more efficient, do you have the flexibility to take up less space and thus save money? We can help here by doing a quick audit of the building. And remember, Unispace can test-fit everything for you.
Know your space
04
Read our case studies
Identify your internal team, perhaps with representatives from the executives, IT, HR, finance, internal comms and facilities.
Then determine your internal approval process: who needs to sign things off and how long will it take; think about what information people will need (because it’s often internal delays which impact on timings); and whether approval will be local or regional.
Build an internal project team
05
Do your research into market rates for external project teams. Unispace can guide you through this with site tours, case studies, cost comparisons and general benchmarking.

You’ll almost certainly need to use external consultants/contractors for strategy, design, delivery, project management and construction. Your procurement process may have limitations which prevent you from achieving a tight turn-around, so avoid defeat before you even start by streamlining your approach. For example, Unispace can provide all of these services in-house, and will handle all liaison between teams.

People often struggle with change,
which is worse when it’s disruptive or inefficient. A change management strategy can minimise any problems and their impact; Unispace will help you spot potential pain-points in advance, and help you adopt a change management process from beginning to the end of your project.

“Our Macquarie Park project was very challenging, time-wise, and I genuinely doubted you could complete it within the timeframe. But you did — and it has surpassed expectations. Feedback has been tremendously positive.
Working with Unispace has been a great experience for Herbert Smith Freehills. I know it’s been a lot of hard work and effort, but it is a great outcome. ‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem enough to acknowledge the tremendous work that has gone into this project.”

Deliveroo sought an environment supporting agile working and their collaborative nature within a 14 month delivery programme. A large floorplate of 50,000 sqft over a single floor plate required our team to be considerate of connectivity between departments, generating movement throughout the space and bringing people together.

As a media agency, Vossler needed to peel back the typical ‘Corporate Containment’ and create a space that emanated their culture, while meeting their unique infrastructure needs. We made that happen, all within a tight 5 month timeline and budget.

“We are very fortunate to have found Unispace for our project. We had a huge task to accomplish - design and finish a creative space for a video production agency with a very limited schedule.
The team helped us look into the future and create a space that would function for our rapidly growing company. We are so happy with the results now that we have lived in the space for a while. I would highly recommended working with
Unispace for your expansion project!”
