The Project
This project encompassed the design, manufacture and installation of a mezzanine floor for a new building. The design developed from a requirement for a mezzanine over non-office space to an extended floor over offices with handrail, two staircases and a pallet gate.
The floor size 20.55m x 19.5m (400 sq metres). Chipboard was used for the deck.
Our Client
Our client for this project was Specialist Insulation Supplies.
The Challenge
Specialist Insulation Supplies are a rapidly expanding business.
This success had already meant a move to larger premises, but continuing growth meant lack of space was still going to prove an issue. They decided that the addition of a mezzanine would address this need. One of their main requirements was that the installation of the new floor would cause as little disruption to the normal flow of business as possible.
Although Specialist Insulation Supplies were in brand new premises with good access, we still needed to get a thorough understanding of both the building and the practical benefits the new mezzanine floor was expected to deliver for the business.
We visited the site to survey the premises and discuss requirements. Over the course of the survey and assessment, our client decided to increase the scope of the project to increase the area of the proposed mezzanine over some existing office space. Once this variation to the original scope was incorporated into the requirements and the information gathering and evaluation phase was completed, we provided a quotation. This covered the design, manufacture and installation, and drawings of the new mezzanine floor.
The mezzanine floor was custom manufactured in Haverhill and delivered and installed by the USS installation team.
While the project was underway, we ensured that both the work area and its surroundings were kept clean and tidy and the day to day workflow was able to continue with minimum disruption. The project was delivered within budget and well within the expected timeframe. Our Contract Manager visited the SIS premises post-installation to ensure the completed project met with our client’s complete satisfaction.
And Finally
The end result was an extremely happy customer. There was zero negative impact on SIS’s business during the installation period and the building was left clean and tidy once the project was completed. Our client now has ample storage for their product range along with all the extra space they need.
