The Benefits of using a local contractor

When it comes to transforming your workplace, the choice of company for your office fit-out and refurbishment is crucial. While there are many national firms offering their services, there are significant advantages to choosing a local company. Whether you’re planning a complete office refurbishment or a minor redesign, a local company can offer unique benefits that can make all the difference. As a Sussex based firm CID is uniquely placed to serve local Sussex Companies.

Local Knowledge and Expertise

One of the biggest advantages of working with a local office fit-out company is their deep understanding of the local area and their familiarity with the specific needs and preferences of businesses in the local area.

As a Sussex based company CID Spaces has expertise and knowledge of the business environment of the county. This local knowledge extends to understanding the architectural styles, planning regulations, and environmental factors that can impact your office fit out or refurbishment. We have an excellent knowledge of the local business environment. From the dominance of the Aviation industry in and around Gatwick Airport to the well established Manufacturing and Engineering sectors in Worthing and Eastbourne. We are proud to have worked with a diverse range of companies in Sussex. This expertise ensures that your office fit-out not only meets your aesthetic and functional goals but also complies with all relevant regulations.

Personalised Service and Strong Communication

When you choose a local office refurbishment firm, you’re more likely to work directly with the key decision-makers throughout the project. This close working relationship can lead to better communication, quicker responses, and a more tailored approach to your office design.

Being geographically closer also means that the company can visit your site more frequently, ensuring that every detail is taken care of and any issues are resolved promptly. This hands-on approach can result in a smoother, more efficient project, with less downtime and disruption to your business operations. As a Crawley based company CID Spaces is well placed to serve customers from Brighton to Burgess Hill, Hastings to Horsham and Crawley to Chichester.

Supporting the Local Economy

By choosing a local company for your office fit-out, you’re not just investing in your business—you’re also supporting the local economy. Local companies often source materials and hire subcontractors from within the region, which helps to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in your region. This community-focused approach can also enhance your business’s reputation as a company that values and invests in its local community.

As a Sussex based company, CID Spaces is pleased to work alongside a variety of reputable suppliers and subcontractors in the county. We source locally for a huge range of materials: storage wall, doors, mezzanine floors, paint, kitchens, hire equipment and waste removal. The majority of our contractors are also Sussex based.

Local Sourcing and Sustainability

By sourcing materials locally,  companies can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods. Additionally, they may have established relationships with local suppliers who specialise in eco-friendly products, such as sustainable wood, energy-efficient lighting, and low-VOC paints.

This commitment to sustainability not only benefits the environment but can also be a selling point for your business. An eco-friendly office design can enhance your brand image and appeal to clients and employees who value sustainability.

Understanding of Local Market Trends

A local company will have a finger on the pulse of office design trends specific to the local region. They can offer insights into what works well for businesses in this region and ensure that company identity is reflected in the design.

For instance, open-plan offices with flexible workspaces are increasingly popular in Brighton’s tech hub. Being a Brighton based company is often a key component of a company’s brand identity. As a local company we understand these nuances and help you create an office space that not only looks great but also functions perfectly for your team.

Faster Response Times

When you work with a local company, you benefit from faster response times. Whether it’s an urgent need to fix an issue on-site or a last-minute change to your office design, a local company can often address these needs more quickly than a national firm. This can be particularly valuable during the final stages of your office fit-out when timelines are tight, and any delays could impact your business operations.

As a Crawley based company we are always excited by the prospect of working with our neighbours. We can drop in to take a look at a prospective project easily and our clients can come and look at samples in our Manor Royal based showroom.

Choosing a local Sussex company for your office fit-out and refurbishment offers numerous benefits, from personalised service and local expertise to supporting the local economy and ensuring sustainability. By working with a company that understands the unique needs of Sussex businesses, you can create an office space that not only meets your practical needs but also reflects the character and values of your company. If you’re considering an office refurbishment in Sussex, don’t overlook the advantages of partnering with a local expert. With their in-depth knowledge, commitment to the community, and ability to provide tailored solutions, a local office fit-out company could be the perfect choice for your next project.

We had the pleasure of working with our neighbours, CID Spaces, for our office fit-out, and we are very happy with the results. The communication and standard of workmanship was outstanding, and they completed the project on time and within budget. I can highly recommend CID Spaces.

I have worked on many projects with CID Spaces, most recently completing a successful Fit-Out project for my client in King William Street, London. CID Spaces are a very professional, experienced, flexible and reliable company. All the team strive to keep their customers happy, projects are delivered on time and within budget and I have always found them to be very competitive when tendering against competitors. I highly recommend CID Spaces.

The client is delighted with the way you handled the project and the end result. I know that he has already passed on your details to someone else who has had difficulties with London fit outs, so hopefully, there will be more of the same in the pipeline for you. From the experience I had CID, I am more than happy to make the recommendation, and will continue to do so for you when I am in a position so to do.

I’ve only had positive comments about the work carried out by CID Spaces. Our MD was very impressed with the work. He said he didn’t notice anything until this morning which proves it was a neat and tidy job! Laura has said that we aren’t going to recommend you to anyone else... just in case you can’t fit our work in!

We worked with CID Spaces to help us transform our office space – these works included a new reception, board room, offices, break out spaces and communal kitchen. The finished spaces work well, we continue to receive compliments from everyone who visits. The space has a timeless look and was finished to an exceptionally high standard!

Highly recommend CID Workspace. It was a seamless transition, with their team more than happy to work around us during standard office hours - checking in first when scheduling the different stages of work to ensure there was minimal disruption to areas such as the meeting rooms.

CID Spaces have completed two refurbishment projects for us, both of which have been very successful. As a Company we would happily use CID again and recommend their services to others.

I'd like to offer our appreciation of the chaps that have been working on the scheme carrying out the lounge refurbishment. Without exception they have been quiet, polite, helpful and a joy to have around – they can’t speak highly enough about them.

I very much trust we can continue to find things to work together on. It has been a pleasure in this day and age, with so many unhelpful and contractual contractors, to work with your company.

Sara MitchellBytes Software Services

CID Spaces recently completed a refurbishment of our at our offices. The workmen were tidy and cordoned off the refurbishment area well which was important as the work was carried our during office hours. The project was finished on schedule and within budget, and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. All the team there are extremely pleasant to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
