Project provides turn-key solution<br />
for office interior challenges<br />
Project: has capitalised on its unique<br />
and extensive experience and understanding<br />
of how offices work by extending<br />
its offering to embrace every aspect<br />
of the office or workspace environment.<br />
Already well established as one of the<br />
country’s premier office furniture<br />
brands, Project: is now increasingly<br />
using its knowledge, working in partnership<br />
with private and public sector<br />
clients to deliver turn-key interior solutions<br />
that embody creativity and fitness<br />
for purpose, efficiency and an excellent<br />
return on the investment.<br />
The Project: service empowers clients to<br />
make the best possible use of their available<br />
budget, while reducing contract<br />
timescales and removing cost uncertainty.<br />
It also ensures that every aspect of the<br />
new interior fully complies with the latest<br />
ergonomic and safety standards. The service<br />
is geared to facilitate efficient<br />
change processes, minimise disruption<br />
and boost employee morale and motivation.<br />
The service is process-driven at every<br />
stage from concept to completion, with<br />
particular attention being paid to consultation<br />
and communication. Frequently,<br />
this will necessitate Project: personnel<br />
conducting a detailed Project: Insights<br />
office analysis to gain a full appreciation<br />
of the issues and challenges of the existing<br />
workspace before any recommendations<br />
are formulated.<br />
When construction and property<br />
consultants AYH plc moved to<br />
their new London offices, their<br />
decision to select Interface to<br />
provide flooring was an easy one.<br />
AYH plc provides project management,<br />
cost consultancy, facilities<br />
consultancy and move management<br />
- so they already had considerable<br />
knowledge of lnterface<br />
products.<br />
Choosing 3,000m2 of Heuga<br />
Transformation, AYH plc were<br />
attracted to the impressive choice<br />
of colours available and the product’s<br />
environmental credentials -<br />
not to mention the great service<br />
that Interface had provided in the<br />
past. The company’s new offices<br />
occupy three floors of 10 Furnival<br />
Street, London E04, a listed building<br />
dating from around 1900. The<br />
floorcovering had to suit the refur-<br />
The process also enables Project: to identify<br />
and recommend key criteria and performance<br />
standards that will form the<br />
basis for the ongoing measurement of the<br />
success of the new working environment.<br />
These measured benefits of the Project:<br />
solution empower the client’s project<br />
team to justify the cost of the project on<br />
an ongoing basis.<br />
Proposals for these single-source, single<br />
responsibility Project: contracts often<br />
take the form of 3D images and an electronically-generated<br />
3D “walk through” of<br />
a virtual image of the new offices. These<br />
are accompanied by a detailed review of<br />
the Project: Insights process and findings,<br />
the rationale behind the design brief, the<br />
design proposals, costings, and the<br />
planned implementation procedure.<br />
Throughout, Project: team members work<br />
closely with relevant departments in the<br />
client organisation to address, for example,<br />
any IT challenges or HR initiatives.<br />
This cooperation also extends to agents or<br />
specialists nominated by the client to<br />
ensure that everyone involved in the contract<br />
is working to a shared agenda. At<br />
every stage, management and users of the<br />
new environment are kept fully informed.<br />
Project: is one of a number prominent<br />
brands in the UK office furniture market<br />
that are manufactured by Haverhill-based<br />
Workspace Office Solutions Limited, the<br />
others being Arc, Asher, Caplan and Elect.<br />

AYH plc<br />
selects<br />
Interface<br />
bished, largely open plan interior<br />
where original fireplaces, joinery<br />
and doors contrast with the overall<br />
contemporary design.<br />
Heuga Transformation is a highly<br />
textured tip sheared loop pile carpet<br />
tile. It was selected because it<br />
is designed for random installation,<br />
is made from recycled solution<br />
dyed nylon and offers design inspiration<br />
through a choice of 12<br />
colours. The random concept<br />
means that no two tiles are the<br />
same so installation waste is minimised<br />
and tiles can easily be<br />
replaced with no incompatibility<br />
issues, moreover the replacement<br />
tiles may be laid in any direction.<br />
Single-dye-lot manufacturing<br />
ensures batch-to-batch consistency<br />
making large stock-holding of spare<br />
tiles unnecessary.<br />
Within the modern working environment<br />
of the AYH plc offices,<br />
Transformation Fern has been laid<br />
in the main open plan areas while<br />
Transformation Wildflower has<br />
been employed for the meeting<br />
rooms and directors offices occupying<br />
the cellular space.<br />

Welconstruct provides<br />
space measures for<br />
the Sheffield College<br />
When space became an issue at<br />
The Sheffield College’s<br />
Engineering Centre, moving to<br />
new premises within the city centre<br />
just wasn’t an option. The<br />
central location of the existing<br />
building was ideal for the purpose,<br />
but with growing numbers<br />
of students wishing to take engineering<br />
courses, it became apparent<br />
that the facilities needed to<br />
grow.<br />
The College employed Price<br />
Tomlinson Architecture (PTA) to<br />
find a solution, which could be<br />
invoked as soon as possible and<br />
cause the least disruption to ongoing<br />
classes. An extension to the<br />
existing mezzanine floor undertaken<br />
by Welconstruct Customer<br />
Solutions proved to be the answer.<br />
Barry Price of Price Tomlinson<br />
Architecture says: “There was no<br />
space to extend the building outwards<br />
so we looked upwards and to<br />
extending the existing mezzanine<br />
floor at the Olive Grove Road site.<br />
However, this route had its own<br />
challenges as the floor of the structure<br />
had a Superlux board fire rating<br />
to stop students puncturing the<br />
office interiors<br />
ceiling whilst handling engineering<br />
material such as copper piping.”<br />
Welconstruct Customer Solutions’<br />
was selected to manufacture and<br />
install the new extension based on<br />
its expertise, ability to meet the<br />
specification and the needs of the<br />
non-standard fire rating. The mezzanine<br />
floor extension had an<br />
8.5knIm2 loading to meet the<br />
architect’s specification, with a<br />
9mm Superlux board 1200mm x<br />
600mm to adhere to the fire rating.<br />
