OFFICE MEZZANINE FLOOR PROJECT

Earthing Serviced Limited, based in Mansfield, recently purchased a brand-new warehouse. The warehouse is from where the business is to operate and therefore, they required a multi-functional space. They needed space to house their raw materials, have an area to assemble parts and components and also incorporate an area for office and training space so they could teach their customers/partners about their products and services. As the space was a compact warehouse and an empty shell, they faced the challenge of designing and fitting out the space to suit their requirements.

The design stage was a real challenge. The space within the warehouse was limited and the had height restrictions, therefore the design was complex to allow for decent head heights on either floor whilst working within the constraints of the existing building entrance and roller shutters. As the building had a nice glass frontage and an existing DDA WC and kitchen area to the rear, it made sense to run the office space from front to back. Great thought went into the design of the mezzanine to reduce the construction depth as much as possible whilst hiding the columns within the walls. The client also wanted a concealed staircase to elevate the look and feel of the office space. This involved the construction of a full height Jumbo wall to conceal the staircase and provide the required fire protection.

Like all projects there are two critical stages to a successful project. Design of the space and then the implementation of the actual build. By working with Nexus, Earthing Services knew Nexus could offer a complete package, covering both bases, thus allowing them to concentrate on the important bit…running their own business.

Earthing services approached Nexus to offer a design and build solution, looking for a company to design and fit out the space to suit their requirements. During the initial meeting a list of requirements were presented to Nexus. These were: a reception space, small meeting space, breakout area (for lunch/coffee breaks etc), a training room (to seat 8/10 people) and a small office space to accommodate two people. The above needed to fit into the smallest footprint possible so they could retain as much space as possible for storage and assembly space.

Nexus took the brief and completed a comprehensive design and quotation which provided Earthing Services with the confidence that Nexus was the right company to fit out the unit for them. This combined with seeing multiple projects we have completed in the past only compounded their choice to choose Nexus as their fit out partner.
