As a full-service real estate company, our passion is not limited to finding new homes for individuals and families but also assisting local and international businesses like Metal Buildings of Birmingham in finding the perfect spot to grow and develop in their industry. We firmly believe the quality of service a company churns out is greatly influenced by the quality of its workspace. That is why we took up the mission to build a dynamic local construction company, and we are eager to share their story.

The Inspiration

Being a local business, our inspiration for this project was beyond securing the portfolio, but the need to shape our local communities and attract growth in the long run. Local businesses are the life force of our communities, and when we were approached by this respected construction company, we knew it had to be a landmark. One that would send a message to the world about the quality of services available in the local community. With that in mind, we created a design that balanced the local aesthetics perfectly with the modern elements that progressively project the local community in good light and position it for foreign direct investment.

Expert Considerations

A major aspect of our approach to this project was understanding our client’s unique needs. Just as we have a unique selling point as a company, we believe every client has a unique point of need in terms of design and quality. In this project, our client was in dreamt of an office space that met their practical requirements as a construction company but also subtle and inviting for clients to experience their brand and values. Through our in-depth consultation, we narrowed down the most important considerations for our client:

  • Location: As a construction company, accessibility is a big factor to take into consideration. Accessibility to job sites, clients, and suppliers of building materials was fundamental. Although the best spots that fit this criteria were available, most of them were situated in the heart of town, which, according to building codes, would not accommodate a construction company to protect residents. With our local knowledge and extensive network, we eventually located a piece of land in an industrial area that overlaps well with the center of the city, serving both clients and industry partners at the same time.
  • Functional layout: The new office space had to effectively accommodate the entire team, taking into consideration the needs of each department, future growth, and creating a haven for clients who come around, too.
  • Brand identity: We ensured that our pursuit of creativity and innovation did not tamper with the consistent brand voice our client has created over the years. The new local office exudes professionalism, minimalism, reliability, and quality.
  • Budget: Like any reasonable business venture, there is a need to stick to an approved budget. Our project was executed perfectly with the necessary quality materials while working within the financial capabilities of our client. When you book an appointment with us, we will discuss extensively on your budget and will stick to the framework all through.

Beyond building

As soon as our client approved the final design for the building, we set in motion a smooth transition plan from the old office space to the new office space. This entailed services such as coordinating the move, setting up the IT facilities, and ensuring the disruption caused to business operations was minimal. It was a great pleasure to witness the marvels as the team walked into their new office space.
