Designing an office space tailored for productivity is essential. A well-crafted office environment can elevate employee morale, boost efficiency, and contribute to a positive brand image. As California's trusted business builders, we specialize in designing and managing commercial construction projects for office spaces throughout the state. Our expertise includes steering clear of these six prevalent office design blunders:

• Inadequate Lighting: Research demonstrates that natural light can significantly enhance productivity. A 2017 study by Cornell University's Dr. Alan Hedge found that workplace natural light offers numerous advantages, including a 56% reduction in drowsiness, 63% fewer headaches, and a 51% decrease in eye strain. Our office designs prioritize ample windows to maximize natural light, ensuring increased employee comfort and productivity.

• Unprofessional Reception: The reception area forms the initial impression for potential clients or partners visiting your office. It should feature ample space for a reception desk and comfortable seating, allowing guests to wait conveniently if they arrive early for a meeting.

• Neglecting Brand Identity: Your office serves as a vital reflection of your brand. Even if clients don't frequently visit your workspace, incorporating brand elements like colors is essential to foster employee identification with your organization.



• Insufficient Storage: Clutter is universally disliked. It diminishes productivity and appears unprofessional. We prioritize storage closets to keep documents, specialized equipment, and office supplies well-organized.

• Limited Workspace Variety: Recognize that your employees require both collaborative and individual workspaces. Striking a balance is key—avoid committing to an exclusive open office concept or neglecting communal areas altogether.

• Lack of Expansion Space: It's likely you intend to grow your business. Hence, ensure your office layout accommodates the addition of new staff members.

• Inadequate Planning: The primary mistake to avoid when designing your office space or any commercial construction project is poor planning. At Scherer Construction, we assume responsibility for planning and design, ensuring your office building aligns with your business's needs, employees, and clients.
