APSS Free Design Consultation
When planning an office refurbishment, the first step is often the most important. A well-structured consultation lays the groundwork for everything that follows, from layout and design through to budget and delivery. Across the commercial interiors sector, leading fit out companies use this stage to truly understand how a business operates and how its work space can better support productivity, wellbeing, and future growth.
At APSS, our free office design consultation is built to deliver genuine value from the outset. It’s not simply an introduction, it’s a detailed, insight-led process designed to give you clarity, direction, and confidence in your next steps.
Every successful office refurbishment starts with understanding the people behind the business. From your initial enquiry, you’ll work with a dedicated member of our team who will guide you through the entire process.
We take the time to understand how your current space performs, where challenges exist, and what you want to achieve moving forward. This could involve improving collaboration, supporting hybrid working, making better use of space, or aligning your office with your brand identity. By building this understanding early on, we ensure that every design decision is rooted in your business needs.

After our consultation, we carry out a survey of your workspace. Our cutting-edge technology creates a fully interactive 3D model of your office, giving our design team precise measurements and a complete spatial overview.
This level of accuracy allows us to design with confidence, removing the guesswork often associated with traditional surveys. It also gives you a unique perspective on your own space, helping to highlight opportunities for improvement that may not be immediately obvious.
Using the insights gathered during your consultation and the data from your site survey, our in-house design team will create a selection of tailored layout options for your office refurbishment. Typically, this includes at least three distinct concepts.
Each design is developed with purpose, balancing aesthetics with functionality. Whether your goal is to create a more collaborative environment, maximise efficiency, or enhance the overall look and feel of your workspace, every option is carefully considered to support your objectives.
Below is a basic example of a client who approached us looking to create an office built for team expansion and the introduction of a shared breakout area.
Once your designs are ready, we’ll present them to you in a detailed review session. This is your opportunity to explore each concept, ask questions, and refine the direction of your project.
We see this as a collaborative process. Your feedback is key to shaping the final outcome, ensuring the proposed design not only looks impressive but works seamlessly for your team on a day-to-day basis.
Alongside your design concepts, our commercial team will provide a fully itemised quotation. Transparency is central to our approach, so you’ll have a clear understanding of costs from the very beginning.
This allows you to evaluate different options, prioritise key elements, and plan your investment with confidence.
By the end of this process, you’ll have a clear vision for your workspace, supported by professional design concepts and a detailed cost breakdown. Just as importantly, you’ll have the time and space to consider your options.
Following your client meeting, you can then decide whether you’d like to commission our team to take your office refurbishment forward. There’s no obligation, just a well-informed starting point to help you make the right decision for your business.
