Improved staff productivity! - A designed approach
Situation: Caterpillar (formerly FG Wilson) wanted to consolidate their activities, which were spread over various locations into one single large HQ for 300 people. The building which they had chosen was a former light electronics factory/office. However the interior was not suitable for their purpose as the services were old and needed to be completely refurbished. Caterpillar realised they didn't have the resources internally to implement such a complex project and as a consequence employed Office Interior Solutions to do the design, fit-out and furnishing of their new premises.
Pain Points
|
Fitting everyone in |
Their new premises would need to be redesigned, refurbished and the existing furniture (which was old) would need to be replaced. |
|
Design |
Caterpillar needed to allow for growth in staff numbers, more flexible working, better communication and staff participation leading to greater productivity |
|
Costs |
The client required accurate fixed costs for both the fit out and furniture |
|
Implementation |
The client needed someone to hold their hand and guide them through the complete project from feasibility studies through design, costing, project management and relocation |
Solution: Office Interior Solutions prepared full space planning/design along with mechanical and electrical drawings to facilitate the bringing together of 300 people from various locations into their new HQ. We also supplied the full fit out package included flooring, ceilings, partitions, m&e, decoration, etc, and supply and installation of the furniture for the whole building.
