Instant Windscreens were keen on renovating their new building to increase the space available in the workshop to complement their windscreen replacement operation. They also desired to create a separate, modern manager’s room and reception area. Together we saw that both desires could be achieved simultaneously. We heard their feedback and requirements and created a detailed plan, which was effectively implemented.
A significant amount of demolition work was accomplished by our team safely and tidily which included removing existing timber walls towards the end of the workshop and removing a large suspended ceiling.
We then built two new partition walls, one long wall with a glass window and self-closing door to separate the workshop from the reception/manager’s area and one shorter wall with a glass window to separate the reception from the manager’s room. These were lined and decorated together with the existing walls. Additional power points and data points were installed for the client’s communication and hardware equipment.
New LED lighting was installed in the workshop to provide client workers with better visibility. The main walls of the workshop were re-decorated in white to match the new paint finish in the reception and managers room.
A custom crafted reception counter, manager’s desk and printer desk was installed precisely in accordance with the client’s wishes.
The existing security system was fully replaced, and new cameras were placed strategically in and out of the building.
As a result of the above, Instant Windscreens now have a professional reception and managers area and a larger workshop space.
