Project Q&A – Give a Grad a Go

We were introduced to the Give a Grad a Go via a mutual connection as they believed our approach would be the right fit for this size project. We specialise in projects under £400k and really focus on people and value.

Overview

• Client: Give a Grad a Go
• Size: 3,500Sqft 
• Timeline: 5 Week Build 
• Budget: £185k 

What does the client do?
Market leader in graduate recruitment. They work across sectors and industries and have an amazing team of people who are really passionate about what they are doing. They are so good, we used them to hire new staff for us.. twice!

Can you summarise the clients brief?
Give a Grad a Go wanted to turn their existing office in to a real hub for their team. They had started to out-grow the office and the general branding and decor was looking quite tired. This project was to turn the space in to a modern workplace functionally and give the space a real investment. We changed lighting, flooring, decoration, furniture and installed new tea point facilities to give the space a complete transition.

How long did the project take from conception to completion?
First meet to completion office design and build took 5 months.

What were the challenges during the construction period?
The space is quite small with only one exit and therefore the sequencing and organisation of sub-contractors and deliveries had to be impressively organised. We had to time all works to perfection as there was no real space to store anything.

The client gave you a five star review, why do you believe that’s the case?
Cary really bought in to our vision and what we are trying to do. Create workplaces with Soul and provide real tangible value and advice all the way along.

What is your favourite part of the new office design?
I love the new kitchen and bar area. I could see myself working from there, socialising there and hosting there too!

Can you describe the design in five words?
Fresh. Focused. Fun. Biophilic and Brilliant!
