The majority of indicators have been pointing towards an economic recovery.

There are other savings to be incurred by not moving other than the obvious real estate savings. For instance: the utilities such as air conditioning and heating, sewage, electric and water; Moving; Property taxes; Equipment and Maintenance Personnel are among the main areas.
Moreover, if you incorporate increased travel for lift equipment, this obviously results in much higher fuel costs, accelerated depreciation due to increased usage, that results in increased maintenance costs and additional labor costs.
Expansion is not only based on warehousing. TFA offers alternatives for office space by using modular office solutions. These solutions consist of: tax benefits, containment rooms, clean rooms and flexibility in location.
One more great expansion alternative is portable mezzanines. These can be used to hold modular offices as well as offer vertical space for items located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space can then be utilized for product storage too. Another option for freeing up more valuable floor space could be accomplished by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
