A successful project starts from the very first meeting and is a consultative process where we bring your vision together with our knowledge in order to design the most effective warehouse mezzanine office or small internal facilities for your exact needs.
Of course every design and installation is unique, but we follow a tried and tested process to ensure that every project brings the best outcomes.
Here’s a quick look at how a typical small mezzanine floor build unfolds to give you an idea – timescales and specifics will vary:
First stage – survey, consultation and design
Our initial meeting will give you the opportunity to explain your needs and allow us to guide you through all the options and considerations. We’ll need to arrange a site survey to ensure we gather all the information we require for installation and cost calculations.
In addition to taking a brief on the physical requirements, we’ll also discuss the practicalities of the build too, such as working areas, how space will be segregated, facilities we can use during the build (kitchens, WCs for our install teams etc.), skip locations, storage areas, how we’ll manoeuvre materials safely throughout the building and so forth.
For compliance and your complete confidence, we also create a programme of works, conduct risk assessments and develop method statements. We align our process according to safe build methods and have experience in acting as both Principal Designer and Principal Contractors too.
Stage two – mezzanine floor build
Once the site is safe and ready to go, we’ll start installing the primary structure. This usually takes around one week and will include works such as:
- Install mezzanine columns and purlins
- Erect steels
- Lay decking
- Apply fire rating including fascia and column cases
- Start installing partitioning and insulation
Stage three – main construction complete and ancillaries added
Usually moving onto the second week of construction, the main mezzanine build will be completed, and any staircases, lights and suspended ceilings will be installed.
Stage four – services installed
Over the third week of construction, the windows, doors and ceiling are all in situ, and services such as power, data cabling and heating are installed. During this final stage, we also carry out all internal decorating to your specifications and lay your choice of flooring.
Once everything has been checked, we’ll sign the project off, clean up the work area and leave you to enjoy your new warehouse mezzanine office/facility.
