Bespoke design and fit out provider Anabas Interiors has secured a contract to handle the relocation of Chi-X’s office from St Katherine’s Dock to Lower Thames Street in the City of London. Anabas Interiors has designed and will deliver the new offices, in time for Chi-X to move in.
Chi-X is a pan-European trading exchange so Anabas needed to take the exacting requirements into consideration during both the design and planning stages for the implementation of the London office move.
Providing space planning and interior design, cost and budgeting advice, partition installation, mechanical and electrical design and installation, suspended ceilings, decorative finishes, flooring, specialist communications rooms, structured cabling and bespoke furniture and joinery; Anabas Interiors has all the expertise to integrate a fully managed programme for workplace change.
Paul Cronin, Contract Manager for Anabas Interiors, explains the requirements for this particular project: “It is always essential to gain a full understanding of our customer’s business focus. Chi-X needed an open plan trading platform, which by its very nature requires a secure environment with efficient access control. In addition of course there is the need for private meeting rooms and office space too.”
It was not only the security requirements and best practice of the trading industry that were important considerations for Anabas Interiors. The aesthetics and brand image of Chi-X as a company were also crucial in the office design.
“We undertook a design workshop with the client to ensure that the offices we designed for them would meet their original vision for the new facilities.”
Anabas Interiors understands that the brand of any organisation is embodied in the look and feel of its physical surroundings. Getting the interior design and finish of the new offices right was an important part of this. Practically this can be an expensive and time consuming process, which is why outsourcing the entire project to a specialist provider makes cost and time efficient sense.
Strong procurement power with all the key commercial furniture providers is a valuable asset in the delivery of a finished scheme; Anabas Interiors is able to ensure that the right furnishings for each job are selected at the most competitive rates.
Technical expertise is also an advantage. Anabas Interiors is able to develop bespoke HVAC and M&E services for its clients. By taking a value engineered approach Anabas Interiors can ensure that state of the art equipment and technical facilities are delivered with effectiveness, cost efficiency and legislative compliance.
Linking all the design and relocation requirements of a client is a complex task and something that Anabas Interiors is experienced in achieving. By taking a centralised approach to the management of any project, Anabas Interiors provides a single point of contact and single resource for companies that need to make a change with as little disruption to everyday operation and limited downtime for the business as possible.
