European Headquarters Expansion for Global Electronics Manufacturer
Industrial office facility
TCi Construction successfully delivered a £4.1 million manufacturing headquarters expansion for a leading global electronics manufacturer, at its European headquarters in the UK.
Steel Frame Construction and Building Envelope
Demolition of the existing shell commenced, following a comprehensive preconstruction period, which established detailed environmental protection, traffic management and community liaison plans. Due to the limited accessibility of the site and residential surroundings, the mitigation of disruptive activities was paramount.
Groundworks and concrete pad foundations paved the way for the steel frame structure, which was erected over a 14-week programme. The development created generous floor-to-ceiling heights and a spacious central atrium, delivering a modern, high-quality workplace environment.
The building envelope was completed with an innovative roof structure, architectural brickwork and a striking glass curtain wall system, creating a prestigious headquarters facility that reflects the innovative nature of TDK Lambda’s operations and products.
A 560m² walk-on roof accommodates extensive M&E installations and building services while providing safe access to rooftop plant and infrastructure.
installation of High-Quality Workplace & Staff Facilities
Internally, the new facility was fitted out with glazed office partitions, a fully equipped first-floor staff canteen and a feature staircase within the main reception area. Furniture and office equipment were space planned, procured and installed to create a flexible and productive working environment. Breakout spaces, adaptable meeting rooms and open-plan office areas support a variety of modern working styles.
The phased fit-out and handover strategy enabled sections of the building to be occupied ahead of full completion, supporting the client’s operational requirements throughout the project and enabling an advance handover of the ground floor..
