Larger working spaces lead to operational savings and human resource gains

Office workers may debate the pros and cons of open-concept layouts; they all unanimously agree that larger working spaces are better.

Considerable conversation and research have been dedicated to whether open concept working environments are better for people and productivity. What is not up for debate is that open spaces offer many beneficial safety and psychological advantages that can contribute to long-term company success. Regardless if your organization is in manufacturing, fulfillment, administrative or event and entertainment categories, the potential of large open spaces contributes to a positive, favourable environment, one that maximizes the potential of everyone within it.

From the facility's construction to ongoing health benefits, cost savings from larger buildings with more open space are significant for both owners and occupants. Regardless of your industry, cost-effective buildings made from pre-engineered steel allow for large clear spans and open space that's not possible with traditional construction at such a reasonable investment. When you are looking to build your ideal working space, you need to consider building with steel. Summit Steel Buildings is your premier, one turnkey construction partner that can turn your vision into reality.

Building larger with steel engineering is an intelligent choice

Clear spans refer to the uninterrupted space between two support points, such as columns or walls, in a building. Open clear spans are an essential design feature in pre-engineered steel buildings. For business owners and planners, building large spaces with steel offers several benefits:

• Increased usable space - By eliminating columns and walls, open clear spans maximize available floor area. This creates more usable space for storage, equipment, offices and other activities.
• Cost-effectiveness - Cost-per-square foot costs drop significantly as building dimensions get larger. It's one of the economies of scale made possible by pre-engineering's affordability. Steel buildings with clear spans can be constructed more quickly and with fewer materials than traditional buildings. This translates into cost savings for owners, as well as reduced construction time and improved efficiency.
• Improved natural light and ventilation - With fewer obstructions, natural light and air can flow more freely through the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems. Less energy usage leads to financial savings and a more comfortable working environment for occupants.
• Enhanced aesthetics - Open clear spans provide a modern, clean look that is highly sought after in contemporary architecture. This aesthetic appeal can add value to the building and enhance its overall public impression.
• Flexibility - Open clear spans allow for the easy reconfiguration of interior spaces without the need for load-bearing walls or columns. Building owners can customize their facilities to suit their specific needs and adapt to changing requirements over time.
Happier and more productive employees require more space to work

Open spaces in the workplace have been shown to have a variety of health benefits, including:
• Improved mental health - Exposure to natural light and views of greenery can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
• Increased physical activity - More space encourages employees to move around more often, which reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
• Reduced stress - Larger working environments can provide a calming effect and reduce stress levels by providing a break from enclosed and artificially lit spaces.
• Improved productivity - Open spaces can increase collaboration and communication among employees, leading to more efficient work processes and increased productivity.
• Better air quality - Areas for plants and greenery can improve air quality by removing toxins and increasing oxygen levels.
Enhanced creativity - Stimulate imaginations by providing a change of scenery and encouraging employees to think outside the box.

Operations and human resources can both agree

Once the decision is made to build an ideal facility, management, operations and employees will all agree that more space is better. Larger spaces are not only affordable but made possible by building with pre-engineered steel buildings. Your workplace will have a positive impact on your financial bottom line as well as both physical and mental heath for employees. Larger, more open operating space leads to a more productive and enjoyable work environment.
