Short-term, DIY office installations may seem like a money-saver. Unfortunately, they can have unexpected risks and long-term adverse effects that can be avoided by hiring professional help. In our 40+ years in the business, we’ve seen our fair share of DIYs gone wrong, and it’s usually cheaper to get it done right in the first place! In this blog, we’ll explore some of the pitfalls of attempting installations without hiring professionals and discuss how McIntyre Group can help.
Safety Risks
The most significant risk of attempting DIY office installations is the safety hazards. Whether you are lifting heavy furniture, using power tools, or performing electrical work, attempting installs without proper knowledge and equipment can result in serious injuries. If your employees are assisting with the work, this also poses a liability threat. By hiring professional help, you can be confident that our Crew in Blue has the experience, expertise, and training to install your office furniture correctly without risking you or your team’s safety.
Long-Term Inefficiencies
Beyond risking your safety, trying to perform your own office installations can also result in improper setup. If your technology is not connected correctly or your furniture is not built to specifications, an office upgrade can turn into a downgrade. You want your new office to be visually pleasing and functional, but with wires hanging out or underperforming ergonomic furniture, neither of these will be true. An amateur installation results in productivity loss and inefficient workspaces; why have that when you can call McIntyre Group?
Productivity & Time Loss
Finally, DIY office installations can cost your company valuable time and productivity. Without proper training and experience, your installation will likely take much longer than expected or is necessary. Don’t waste time puzzling over instructions when you could be getting back to work! In the installation business, it’s our job to ensure that everything is done correctly and ready for your team, so you don’t experience avoidable downtime. Our talented team works hard to make sure that your team can, too!
