Beaumont House, London

Our client had just five weeks before their lease expired and more than 150 staff to relocate. Other contractors quoted at least 12 weeks. Craftex transformed this 750 sq m rundown office in High Street Kensington, London, into a modern, open-plan workplace in just three weeks.

We also managed the move into the new premises, so the relocation was stress-free with no disruption to the business. See how we delivered under similar pressure at Portsoken House.

The transformation of Beaumont House required complete design and reconstruction. Our team remodelled the interior layout and demolished walls to maximise space and create an open-plan office for collaborative working.

The inclusion of frosted glass partitions allowed us to create appropriate smaller function rooms for private meetings.

We also removed the structural ladder and installed CCTV and access control across the office.

Lighting and wiring were replaced throughout, and under-floor data cabling was run to every workstation for a clean, modern look with no trip hazards.

Our decorators then redecorated the offices throughout.

We kept to a neutral, monochrome palette to minimise distraction. From the grey carpet to the new chrome-and-black kitchen, the whole office space feels cohesive and contemporary.

At the end of the three-week programme we moved the furniture and office equipment into the new premises and offered the client ongoing maintenance.

The major limitation for the renovation of Beaumont House was time. Upon contacting Craftex, our client had only five weeks before the lease at their current premises expired. It was imperative they relocated all 150+ staff to new offices before this deadline or face huge disruptions to business.

Having contacted several other contractors that required at least 12 weeks from quotation to completion, they seemed to have a big problem at hand.

Thanks to Craftex’s flexible approach and collaborative team, we were on-site two weeks after our initial contact with the client. Our industry connections enabled us to mobilise huge management and labour resources to make this project happen.

Within the tight deadline, our team successfully refurbished the new premises with zero snags or defects.

This was all done without disruption to other office workers, with Beaumont House Management Team being extremely happy with our noise and waste management and organisation of deliveries.

Following this project's success and our proactivity, our client hired Craftex for a second office refurbishment within the same building, valued at £1.3 million.
