Location: Old Street, London, UK Project: Installation of Office Furniture Across Two Floors Design and Supplier: Plan-It Interiors Duration: 6 Weeks (Including Storage and Installation) ​ Project Overview ​ A prominent global tech company, expanding its footprint in London, engaged us to handle the installation of office furniture in their newly leased premises on Old Street. The furniture, imported from a premium supplier in Portugal, required meticulous handling, temporary storage, and prompt installation to align with the client’s move-in schedule. ​ Objective ​ Our goal was to ensure a seamless transition from delivery to a fully furnished office space. This involved receiving, storing, and installing high-end office furniture across two floors, with a strong focus on precise logistics and efficient use of storage space, all while coordinating transport and installation. One of the primary challenges was the international shipping of the furniture from Portugal, which required careful coordination to ensure timely and secure delivery. Additionally, we had to manage a four-week storage period in our warehouse, demanding careful planning to protect and organise the items. The project also required the efficient loading of two arctic lorries and a tight installation window, necessitating close coordination with other contractors to ensure the office was fully operational by the client’s move-in date. ​ Approach We began by coordinating closely with the Portuguese supplier to schedule and oversee the shipment of the furniture, ensuring it was properly packed and labelled for easy identification. We handled all customs clearance and logistics to facilitate a smooth process. Upon arrival at our warehouse, the furniture was carefully unloaded and stored. Each item was inventoried and organised according to its installation sequence, with regular inspections ensuring it remained in pristine condition during the storage period. ​ Our team meticulously planned the loading process, dividing the furniture into two phases and loading it onto two arctic lorries according to the installation schedule. This meticulous approach ensured the furniture was securely fastened and protected during transport. ​ The installation process began with the unloading of the first lorry and assembly of furniture on the first floor, followed by the second lorry on the second floor. We coordinated with other trades on-site to ensure the installation progressed smoothly, without interfering with electrical, IT, and finishing work. Final adjustments and checks were made, and a thorough cleaning ensured the office was ready for immediate use. A complete walkthrough was conducted with the client’s project manager to inspect and address any minor adjustments. We also provided maintenance guidelines and support for any post-installation queries. ​ Results The project demonstrated our expertise in managing complex logistics and storage challenges. The furniture was securely stored for four weeks without any issues, and our well-coordinated transport and installation plan ensured the office was fully furnished on time. The high-quality installation met the client’s expectations, resulting in a modern and functional workspace. The client expressed great satisfaction with the project, appreciating the seamless coordination and quality of the installation. Conclusion This project highlighted our capability in handling complex office installations, from international logistics to precise on-site execution. By managing every aspect of the process, we transformed the Old Street office into a fully furnished, high-quality workspace, ready to support the client’s growing team in London.
