Overview
We were appointed by a long standing client in Portsmouth to transform and significantly expand their existing commercial workspace. The project focused on installing a new mezzanine floor to extend the already established upstairs office area, delivering a full commercial fit out from structural works through to final finishes.
Client Requirements
- Create additional usable office space through the installation of a fully compliant mezzanine floor
- Reconfigure the existing structure including blockwork removal and securing works
- Upgrade the canteen and kitchenette areas to meet current fire and building regulations
- Install a new internal staircase compliant with fire regulations
- Deliver a full fit out including plumbing, electrics, lighting, partitioning, ceilings and decoration with minimal disruption
Our Solution
We delivered a complete end to end commercial fit out covering all aspects of the works:
- Mezzanine floor installation to create substantial additional floor area compliant with current standards
- Controlled removal and resecuring of blockwork to accommodate the new layout and maintain structural integrity
- Full fire rating to internal and external elements including eight metre high partitioning
- Supply and installation of a compliant internal staircase providing safe access to the mezzanine level
- New plumbing installations for the kitchenette area upgraded to modern standards
- Full electrical and lighting installation to suit the expanded office layout
- Installation of internal partitions and suspended ceilings to define office and welfare spaces
- Full decoration throughout to deliver a clean modern working environment
- Final testing certification and client handover
Challenges
The key challenge was integrating major structural and fire rated works within an existing occupied commercial building. Careful planning and coordination of multiple trades ensured the project ran smoothly while maintaining safety compliance and programme deadlines.
Results
- Significantly increased usable office space through the new mezzanine floor
- Fully compliant workspace meeting current fire and building regulations
- Improved staff welfare facilities with a modernised canteen and kitchenette
- Enhanced layout and flow creating a more efficient and professional working environment
