The first part of the project required a major strip out to clear away all of the previous tenant’s installed and partially installed building works.

Once this was completed, we were able to work on a clean canvas to provide an office that would allow Hands On IT to continue to expand their business.

The poor condition of the exterior walls required that they be clad with stud and plaster board. Behind the new cladding, we incorporated simple dedicated routes to allow the installation of power and data from the central comms room to a convenient location to access power and data boxes within the walls for desk locations and into dado height trunking for the engineers’ work bench. The engineers’ work bench was segregated from the rest of the office by floor to ceiling glass partitions.

Daylight is only provided via the front shop window and so a modern daylight LED lighting layout was installed to provide a clean white environment for staff and visitors to work in.

We made clever use of a WC that was no longer required, by stripping it out to allow the installation of a tea point

A geometric two tone grey carpet tile was complemented by a contrasting timber plank vinyl strip highlighting the access from the front of the shop to the meeting and dining area at the rear of the premises.

This enabled Hands On IT to relocate their existing furniture to the new office space.
