PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 2012, ADCO were awarded the contract to fit-out the first floor office space in two phases for Hedgeserv, one of the world's leading fund administration companies. The remit of the project was to create an aesthetically pleasing and innovative office layout, affording HedgeServ employees a comfortable workspace to inspire and increase productivity.
Challenges Faced
- As the building is a fully occupied office block, works were carried out in accordance with the landlord's strict guidelines in order to minimise disruption and noise.
- The project also held a number of logistical challenges as the building is located in the congested Stephens Green area and all deliveries, including 160 number 3m lengths of glass, had to enter through an underground carpark and up three flights of stairs.
- Constant care had to be taken to ensure that there was no damage during fit-out and that all common areas were protected during delivery of goods.
Technologies
- The fiy-out incorporated a sophisticated data network infrastructure designed specifically to meet the client's IT and communications requirements.
- The contract covered the supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of the project scope, including: structural, building fabric works and builders' works; architectural design of the space layout, colour schemes and finishes; full height glazed single offices, stud partitions and doors; and, internal decoration, floor coverings and blind installation.
Successes
- Elements of Phase 2, such as wet works & any works that would disturb the client's staff, were completed during Phase 1, so as to avoid dmage to finishes & carpets & to ensure no further drying out periods in Phase 2.
- The project was completed one week ahead of schedule & within budget with no reportable accidents.
- The high standard of finish exceeded HedgeServ's expectations. The client appreciated ADCO's focus on quality , professionalism & proactive approach to delivering the project.
