Office Design & Fit Out Felixstowe

MCP appointed Source One to undertake the refurbishment of their offices in Felixstowe.

The office space is situated within a former chapel, preserving numerous original features. Therefore, the project required a careful balance between honouring the building’s history and updating the office environment.

Giving a beautiful building a new lease of life

The chapel is a beautiful building and so the challenge was to accentuate all the best elements while make it an appropriate modern workplace.

The scope of the work:

Complete removal of existing power, data, and floorboxes, to be replaced with new Cat 6 Data Cable.
Installation of 53 new floorboxes on two floors, including all necessary power and data connections.
Comprehensive Data Mapping.
Installation of new overhead Thorn spotlights and upgrading of existing Emergency lighting.
Incorporation of new feature LED strip rope inside the Dome.
Installation of new external lighting.
Removal of existing flooring throughout the entire space and installation of new acoustic-backed floor tiles and acoustic Karndean wood tiles to enhance sound absorption.
Internal decoration, including the addition of feature and ornate panels.
Upgrading of kitchen door and drawer panels.
Supply and installation of new furniture, chairs, and screens.
Creation of bespoke fitted furniture.
Provision of real plants to promote a healthy working environment.
Full project management services.
Installation of new blinds with curved rails to match the natural shape of the rooms.
Restoration of existing Boardroom seating to revitalize the chairs.
Design and installation of new graphics.

Establishing effective client Project communication

Additionally, we established a WhatsApp group with our client, involving all heads of trades, to ensure everyone has full access to project progress. This approach promoted an open and transparent working policy within the team.
