We recognise that our clients’ requirements can change during the life of their office lease and we therefore offer a full downstream interior design and alteration service.
No business stands still and we can keep you fully up to speed with space planning changes, whether it be a change in working style, team layouts, updating branding, reconfiguring offices and meeting rooms, or working out how to fit another 20 people into a space.
We provide a full downstream interior design service for all alterations in keeping with the original design and also, uniquely within our industry, we aim to bring back the same site team from the initial project. This means the same trades that built your office will execute your alterations.
The great advantage of this is that we know your office, how it’s constructed, the house rules, and your landlord’s restrictions, meaning we can deliver any changes both quickly and effectively.

We have extensive experience in delivering construction changes onsite, in situ and out of hours. The secret to our success is our site managers who are highly skilled at understanding the sensitivities of office staff, and dealing effectively with both landlords and building facilities teams.
We plan carefully to minimise the number of internal moves required around building work, and work effectively to deal with any dust, dirt or debri before staff return the next morning. And we’re realistic about how long things take, so we meet both our clients and their staffs’ expectations.
Our contractors have all been working with us in excess of 10 years, and work to the highest professional standards in both occupied and out of hours situations.

Yes, we can fully manage all statutory and landlord approvals. Even relatively simple alterations, such as reconfiguring an office or meeting room, carry with them building standards requirements such as fresh air ventilation and fire detection systems, and also require landlord approval.
We can take care of the whole process from getting authorization from the landlord, ensuring works are within the rules and regulations of the building, and in adherence of all building standards and health and safety legislation.

Yes, we can agree in advance a cost framework for any alterations(either on a yearly basis or for the lease term).
Many occupiers experience difficulties when it comes to downstream interior design or construction changes, because their original supplier is simply not interested in coming back to help with smaller changes once the initial project is completed. Alternative contractors can turn out to be overpriced and unreliable.
At Cityspace, we like to work in a long-term partnership with our clients, supporting them throughout the entire life of their lease.
