Local office lighting in Swanage
We usually phase office work in Swanage over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Many Swanage office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Swanage premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
