As more people work from home these days, having a dedicated area for concentration and productivity is essential. However, if you find yourself working at the kitchen table or in your bedroom, you may be tempted by distractions during the day or unable to switch off at night. The ideal solution is to create a peaceful space in your home dedicated to focusing on your work.
LPJ Construction’s building contractors excel at a range of solutions to these issues in Haslemere and the surrounding areas. Our services include property renovations, property extensions, garage conversions, garage refurbishments and loft conversions (including dormer conversions). We also construct garden buildings, perfect if you really want to move your home office away from the family.

So, how do you create a successful work environment in your Haslemere property? Here, LPJ Construction’s team of expert building contractors and tradesmen offer some tips on how to up your productivity by creating the perfect space:
Make sure your desk is at the perfect height for you, and invest in a comfortable office chair with back support. If you need to, rest against a lumber cushion whilst typing to prevent slouching and back pain.
Place any screens at a height that prevents you from having to tilt your neck, and invest in a laptop stand which holds the keyboard at an angle. These are simple tips, but they’ll help ease a lot of discomfort and potential long-term injury.
For clients who opt for property extensions, garage conversions or loft conversions, it’s essential that natural light can flow into the renovated space. Working in darker rooms with artificial lights can lessen productivity and cause headaches. We’ll ensure you have enough daylight flowing into your new workspace.
Try to keep all the items you need close at hand to avoid overreaching or having to constantly move from your chair. Our building contractors are also highly skilled carpenters; they can position shelving at heights that will suit you as part of our property renovations in Haslemere.
Although we can be flexible at LPJ Construction and work evenings and weekends to suit our clients, it’s important to maintain a healthy work/home ratio when your daily commute takes less than a minute. Close the laptop and step away from your office space at the end of each day, leaving work behind. A useful tip is to go for a walk around the block every morning and evening to mimic an actual commute.
Prior to the commencement of our property renovations, property extensions, rear-facing extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions in Haslemere, we’ll design and plan a home office in whichever part of your property you choose. From installing partition walls or structural alterations to the layout and shelving, our building contractors at LPJ Construction will ensure you’re perfectly happy with our suggestions and advice. In return, our building specialists will provide you with an area in which to work productively and peacefully.
