As part of this project, our client was looking to relocate their 80+ employees into one of the two available locations near Heathrow area, London. As part of the tendering process, the company engaged several fit out specialist organisations, who must provide initial “concept” designs for each of the two shortlisted locations.
Challenges
The client’s challenge was to decide which one of the available buildings was the most appropriate for the company’s values, requirements and needs. Both buildings were different by size, shape, and interior features. One was offering a workable footprint of approx. 2500 sqm, while the other building provided approx. 1800 sqm.
Looking at aesthetical aspects, the client preferred a modern concept design that reflects the company logo colours orange / yellow, white, and light grey.
Crown Workspace was invited to the tender process as a bidder on providing a design which reflected the client’s requirements and expectations. As a part of tendering documentation, Crown had to prepare the following:
- Site visits, client meeting and questioner
- Drawings package which includes 2D CAD drawings, 3D visualisation, other information that shows the concept design
- Provision of costs of the proposed fit out including design fees, materials, labour, and any other expenses
- Timeline and schedule of work
- Final presentation
Office/layout requirements from the client:
- Small reception area / guest waiting area
- Business lounge(s)
- Breakout spaces / collaboration areas /
phone “booths” - 1 x large boardroom (20 people)
- 2 x 12 people meeting rooms
