Thistle Carry Out Complete Refit of 5 Storey Edinburgh Office

Thistle Systems has completed the refurbishment of a 5 storey office development in Edinburgh on behalf of the Girl Guides after successfully winning the contract via competitive tender.

The aim was to create an office environment that boasted all of the mod cons required to meet the challenges of today’s economy whilst retaining the original features of the stunning Georgian building.

Thistle Systems’ interiors team carried out the upgrade works to every office, including rewiring, installation of new lighting, floor strengthening, decoration, new floor coverings and the creation of new toilet and kitchen areas.

The team also transformed the entrance to the rear of the offices to create DDA compliant access ramps and restored the stunning glass dome in the main stairwell to create a real feature for the office development.

And as you would expect from Thistle, the team designed a works schedule and project plan which ensured the organisation could continue to operate as normally as possible and with minimum disruption.

Thistle Systems’ Project Manager, Paul Hayes, explained “We were delighted with the finished project and proud to have created a spectacular office development which the client is over the moon about.”

He continued, “With the design and age of the building, there were a few challenges which needed to be overcome to bring the facilities up to the standards expected by the client, however we were able to bring the project in on time and within budget.”
