Employment is on the rise and the economy is easing, the stock market is showing some indications of strength, that has helped to improve the overall feelings of the consumer. Most indicators have been pointing towards an economic recovery. There are many businesses who are feeling this growth and are seeking to expand, although they might be a bit hesitant in making the capital investment. They may find it hard to invest in additional space until the economy is on more solid ground and credit is more accessible and available.
There are other savings to be incurred by not moving other than the obvious real estate savings. For example: the utilities like air conditioning and heating, sewage, electric and water; Moving; Property taxes; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are some of 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 costs and additional labor costs.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA offers options for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions comprise: containment rooms, tax benefits, clean rooms and flexibility in location.
Another great expansion option is portable mezzanines. These could be used to hold modular offices and offer vertical space for things situated on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be used for product storage also. One more alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space could be accomplished by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
