Challenge

The refurbishment of the Airbus building required a swift turnaround, with a tight 7-week programme following a detailed vetting process.

The project timeline coincided with a challenging time of year for resource availability, requiring careful planning to ensure timely delivery.

The works involved extensive upgrades to both open-plan and cellular office spaces while maintaining operational continuity.

Approach

We prioritised meticulous planning and close collaboration with the client to ensure resource allocation and scheduling aligned with the ambitious timeline. A proactive approach to communication and logistics was essential to maintain progress and achieve programme milestones.

The refurbishment works included:

Installation of glazed partitions to redefine the space and enhance acoustics

Replacement of floor finishes and complete redecoration to modernise the environment

Acoustic improvements to create a more productive workspace

Relocation and recording of raised access floor data and power boxes to support operational needs

All works were carefully coordinated to meet the project’s high standards while adhering to the tight schedule.

Results

The project was delivered on time and within budget in January 2024, meeting Airbus’s specifications and providing a refreshed and functional office space that supports their operational needs.

Special design features

The inclusion of glazed partitions and acoustic upgrades enhanced both the aesthetics and functionality of the office spaces, delivering a modern and efficient working environment.
