Case Study: Modular wall installation for approximately 100 Private Offices. The drywall/ceiling contractor mistakenly installed the header for the office fronts over 2 inches too close to the rear wall of the offices. To redo the soffit and ceiling would have cost a fortune, and caused the contractor, who was small in size, a fortune. The deadline for the move in would have been impacted as well, causing a major disruption for the end user. The fronts were glass and the dividing walls were solid 57" and 24" partitions with a spring loaded channel that sprung against the rear sheetrock wall once installed, giving the dividing wall around a 1 1/4" play. The wrong header made the opening too tight. Solution: remove the spring loaded filler, and screw a piece of ceiling track against the sheet rock wall. This allowed the rear, 24" panel, to be inserted into the channel rather than the spring loaded filler be used to close the gap. Problem solved. This saved the drywall/ceiling contractor not only a fortune, but major embarrassment . The end user, and even the architect never knew. Subs working together, and not against each other, is the key to every successful project. When working on a project, it is so important for all of the subs to work as a team and look out for each others success, as well as the success of the project and the client. #commercialconstruction #drywall #steelcase #ceiling #walls #millerknoll #cbre #jll #vornado #cushmanandwakefield #carpentry #commercialleasing #officeleasing #officespace #officefurniture #architecture #nycarchitecture #miamirealestate #miamicommercialrealestate #miamioffice #rxr #turnerconstruction Cushman & Wakefield JLL CBRE Steelcase Knoll

This #ToiletTuesday is for all the designers and architects out there. Please, please, please design the accessible stall to be actually accessible, not “accessible”. When the door swings in it blocks the ability to turn and maneuver a device. By adding a baby change table, that one stall becomes occupied by someone who is not even using a toilet! Simple solutions: swing the door out and move the baby change table to a wall in the larger public bathroom space. Ensure the plans are accessible by hiring a consultant who specializes in #Accessibility. And have a copy of Building Better Bathrooms on the corner of your desk… 🙂 https://lnkd.in/gixcQVSA Image description: A technical drawing showing a barrier-free washroom stall where the door swings in and a baby change table is on the wall inside the stall. An orange arrow points to the door swing and an orange circle is drawn around the change station.

Even if you’re taking orders from an architect or engineer, knowing the specifics of the facade systems you're working with can make a big difference in the end result. A prime example is curtain walls vs. storefronts – outside of allowing daylight and inside views, there’s surprisingly little overlap between these two systems. See the key differences here: https://hubs.li/Q02-tnWJ0

🚧 Breathing New Life into Old Spaces: A Renovation Journey 🏢 I’m excited to share my ongoing involvement as one of the supervisors for a remarkable renovation project! This project involves transforming a block of several offices from an outdated design into a sleek, modern workspace that meets today’s standards for functionality and aesthetics. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far: 🔨 Demolition and Removal: The old tiles, windows, and burglar bars have been carefully dismantled. Outdated roofing structures, including the roof trusses, were removed to make way for a more durable and efficient system. Worn-out fittings, furniture, and electrical/electronic components have been stripped out. 🏗️ Structural and Aesthetic Improvements: The walls have been remodeled to align with the modern design vision. Recasting of some lintels has been completed to reinforce structural integrity. We’ve constructed a new roof truss system, ensuring durability and compatibility with the updated architectural plans. Molding and casting of gypsum boards and POP designs are underway to add a refined and elegant touch to the interior spaces. This transformation is more than just a construction project; it’s about reimagining how space can enhance productivity and create a more inspiring environment. The journey continues, and I’m proud to be part of the team driving this transformation. Stay tuned for more updates as we push toward the final reveal! #RenovationJourney #ConstructionSupervision #ModernDesign #WorkplaceTransformation #BuildingInnovation

What is a Mezzanine Floor? A mezzanine floor is an additional level created between the main floors or the floor and roof of a building. They are used in warehouses, offices, and retail environments, creating valuable floor space for businesses while minimising the need for significant structural changes. Construction: The framework is constructed using hot-rolled steel beams supported by steel box sections. Between the main beams are steel purlins overlaid with 38mm deck boards. Each mezzanine is designed according to its design requirements and load-bearing needs. Access: Staircases provide access to the mezzanine floor. The design and number of staircases are specified to comply with Building Regulations. Handrails and Kickboards are essential for safety and preventing falls from the mezzanine. They are installed along the edges of the mezzanine floor and around staircases, and they are constructed from box section posts with tubular rails.

The best part of being an architect is seeing our designs come to life, creating lasting architecture that transforms how people use the buildings. We are currently overseeing a number of our projects on site, at varying stages of construction. Ranging is size, style and locations. This video shows the current situation on 5 of our sites (2 photos from each project). 1 – Currently our biggest project on site. This involves extending to the side and rear, while fully remodelling internally. The side extension is being build in a traditional style to complement the existing building, while the rear extension has a much more contemporary feel. 2 – The shell of this 2 storey extension is now complete and it’s ready for the internals. The extension creates an additional bedroom and en-suite to the first floor. With a new seating area linked to the existing kitchen-diner on the ground floor. 3 – A unique design for a single storey extension that creates a new kitchen-dining-living room. Externally there is a split roof line as well as step in the footprint. Internally a small curved wall adds interest to what could have been an ordinary utility wall. Things don’t always go smoothly on site. Here the wrong windows were fitted! Replacement ones should be on site soon. 4 – Currently our smallest project on site. Although modest in size the extension will transform the home for the owners. Giving a much needed utility room and an extra seating area looking over the garden. 5 – The side and rear extensions on this project were designed to be within permitted development guidelines and so planning approval was not required. The amount of additional space created almost doubles the ground floor area of the original property. #construction #houseextensions #houseremodelling #architects #Wakefield #Leeds #Otley #Shipley

🎆 Overcoming Challenges in Office Refurbishment🎆 One of our recent projects presented several challenges that requires careful planning and expertise. Here's how we tackled them to ensure a successful refurbishment: Challenges: ✅ Ageing Infrastructure: The building's outdated cabling poses issues for modern equipment, but our team comprehensive assessments are required to upgrade the electrical systems, ensuring seamless functionality for all tenants. ✅ Asbestos Concerns: With the presence of asbestos, we approach the design and refurbishment with meticulous care, working closely with specialists to manage and mitigate any risks, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. Through innovative solutions and strategic planning, we overcome these hurdles, setting the stage for a modern, efficient office environment that meets the highest standards of safety and performance. #ProjectManagement #BuildingChallenges #OfficeRefurbishment #SafetyFirst #ModernDesign #TerrellInteriors #renovation #workplacedesign #designandbuild #interiorfitout #officeinteriors #refurbishment #commercialinteriors #commercial #designer #commercialfitout #interiors #officefitout #officedesign #fitoutinteriors
