As employment is on the rise and the economy is easing, the stock market is showing promising signs of strength and consumers are feeling better overall. Most indicators are pointing towards economic recovery. There are lots of businesses who are feeling this growth and are seeking to expand, though they may be a bit hesitant in making the capital investment. They may find it hard to invest in additional space until credit is more accessible and available and the economy is on more solid footing.
There are other savings to be incurred by not moving other than the obvious real estate savings. For example: the utilities such as heating and air conditioning, electric, water and sewage; Property taxes; Moving; Equipment and Maintenance Personnel are amongst the main areas.
Also, if you incorporate increased travel for lift equipment, this obviously leads to much higher fuel expenses, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, which leads to increased maintenance expenses and additional labor costs.
Expansion is not solely based on warehousing. TFA offers alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions consist of: tax benefits, containment rooms, flexibility in location as well as clean rooms.
Portable mezzanines are one more great expansion option. These could hold modular offices together wild providing vertical space for things. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be utilized for product storage as well. One more option for freeing up more valuable floor space could be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
