Whitehall cost cutters have spent a massive £8.5 million doing up their London HQ.

Ministers were lambasted and accused of a “ludicrous waste of taxpayers’ money” after the bill for renovating the Cabinet Office was uncovered.

Details of the refurbishment project came about from data posted on the Government’s transparency website setting out spending of over £25,000.

The website shows £8,505,365.02 has been spent since May 2010 on “refurbishment” or “accommodation works” to 70 Whitehall – the Grade I-listed building where Cabinet Office ministers and staff are based, including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.

A source from the Cabinet Office source said that the costs to the office refurbishment specialists included efforts to make the building more green by installing insulation, double glazing and light sensors, as well as improving disabled access.

They insisted the refurbishment would also bring staff from other buildings to reduce overall estate costs by £100 million, but the renovation plans were attacked by opposing MPs.

In this day and age, when planning an office refurbishment job you have to consider how green you can make your office. By designing a sustainable office your company will lower its impact on the environment, save money and increase productivity.

You can cut down on lighting bills if your office has many ways for natural light to permeate the environment. You could consider removing interior walls and instead replacing them with glass partitions which will allow more light into the office. You can also replace all your bulbs with energy efficient lightbulbs to cut down on costs.

Another way to save is by reducing your heating. Many Swedish workplaces are insulated so effectively that they do not require additional heating. Adding cavity wall insulation or a loft is one of the best ways to reduce energy usage. The majority of offices are only ever 40-60% occupied, so installing heating systems which allow individual radiator controls will enable users to reduce heat in unused or empty areas.

It could be said that glass partitions are very nice to have in an office or even on a shop floor.

Although some Glass partition London can be invisible and so you would be unable to see through  it. From the incident of the riot that took place in London, that destroyed many glass windows, glass partition where rioters  simply kicked in the glass using their feet, or even weapons had left many businesses needing to replace the glass partitions and windows.  Even though the glass petitions and windows are made with hard material, people were able to damage them in some sort with excessive force however this means the production team would need to rethink bout creating thicker glass.

Which ultimately will achieve the company’s aims and objectives!

Therefore their budget has been lowered and cut many on the public services although taxes sustain or have even increased for the working class.

Lloyds, the high street bank, is set to sell over 1 Billion pounds worth of commercial property loans it currently holds.

The 41% state-owned bank seeks to dispose of GBP25 billion worth of commercial real-estate loans in an attempt to shed unwanted debt that they cannot afford to carry, analysts say. The move comes as they aim to stabilize profits over a 4 year period, helping to shed parts of their portfolio which is at high cost and low return.

Lloyds have not been the only players in the market to make such a move, with close competitors Royal Bank of Scotland also shedding unwanted commercial loan debts to offload loans which take a long time to deliver a return.

As a part of the move, it is expected that Glass Partitions and company refurbishments will see an impact as more companies seek leeway from their banks for commercial development.
