Thistle Systems 18 Hour Office Makeover

Thistle Systems has demonstrated its commitment to providing an awesome customer service and incredible project management skills by carrying out a complete office refurbishment programme in less than 18 hours for a major city centre taxi firm.

Using their Max the Cube approach which aims to maximise the available capacity using the minimum of floor space, Thistle Systems were able to design a solution that increased the number of desks by 20% within the same square footage.

The client also asked the Thistle Systems team to design a solution which optimised the work space and allowed the team leader to be located in the heart of the office to help coordinate calls and improve service.

Thistle Systems presented a solution which ticked every box on the client brief and featured new ceilings, new lighting new floor coverings, new desks and a complete re-decoration, however the challenge was extended when the client asked for the entire works to be completed in one day.

Thistle Systems developed and implemented a project plan with military precision which began with the strip out at 7am on a Sunday morning and finished with the final touch up of paint at 11pm on the Sunday evening.

Thistle Systems’ Project Manager, Jamie Greig, explained “This was a project that many interior fit out contractors would have allowed 3-4 days to complete, however thanks to a highly committed team, the assistance of our superb supplier network and a few grey hairs, we were able to achieve everything in 1 day.”

He continued, “Our programme of works was so finely tuned that we had activities and deliveries scheduled down to minutes as opposed to hours with a queue of vans coming in and out of the office. Thankfully everything went to plan and there were no surprises at the strip out stage.”
