The economy is easing and employment is on the rise, the stock market is showing some signs of strength, which has helped to enhance the overall feelings of the consumer. Most indicators have been pointing towards an economic recovery. There are many companies who are seeking to expand and are feeling this growth, although they may be a little 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.
Other than the obvious real estate savings, there are other savings to be incurred by not moving. For example: the utilities such as water, sewage and electric, heating and air conditioning; Property taxes; Moving; Maintenance Personnel and Equipment are amongst the main areas.
Furthermore, if you incorporate increased travel for lift machines, this obviously leads to much higher fuel costs, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, that results in increased maintenance expenses and additional labor expenses.
The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA provides alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions comprise: tax benefits, containment rooms, clean rooms as well as flexibility in location.
Portable mezzanines are another great expansion alternative. These can hold modular offices together wild providing vertical space for items. Newly acquired extra floor space can then be utilized for product storage too. One more alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space can be done by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
