THE PROJECT OVERVIEW
After a competitive tender process, Sheelin Group Commercial Interiors was appointed to supply, deliver and install a complete furniture package for our client's new office in the heart of Dublin's financial district.
THE CHALLENGE
From tender to fitout, our turnaround time was a challenging six weeks. With over 16,000 square feet spread over three floors, including some customised deliverables, we needed to be at our most agile and energised to deliver on this ambitous brief.
The central location of George's Dock also came with many access challenges. We needed to complete full site surveys in advance, as there is restricted access for vehicles in the area, both in terms of access times and vehicle size. All deliveries had to be pre-scheduled and coordinated in terms of size to ensure that access was permitted.
THE RESULT
The project was delivered on time and on budget, to the satisfaction of both the client and the wider team. This was our first venture with this client, but they have since returned to us with additional business. This is the best endorsement of our success in delivering the most professional service in the industry. Here's what the client had to say about our role in the project:
"The Sheelin Group were instrumental in our new office fitout - it is streamlined, comfortable and very practical. They provided an excellent service and were on hand from start to finish and included and ergonomic demonstration for staff when we had settled in. Sheelin has gone the extra mile with regards to researching products that we have requested, they are also easy to contact and always a pleasure to deal with."

THE SHEELIN SOLUTION
At Sheelin Group Commercial Interiors, we believe in solutions for every space. This means that regardless of the size of the space or the challenges it presents, we can provide solutions that work both on a functional and aesthetic level. In other words, we care about how your space works as much as how it looks.
We applied this ethos to our client's new offices, embracing the overall vision as well as the architect's requests for special features on the desking and screens to create a productive and comfortable workspace for the team.
Thanks to our independent status and our wide network of manufacturers and suppliers, customisation is never a problem, even with challenging timelines. In this instance, we worked in close collaboration with the wider team to ensure that our visions were aligned, allowing us to deliver the best solutions regardless of the lean timeframe. We used more than ten European suppliers to piece together the overall solution.
As always, waste recycling and removal were a priority for us on this project, as was a proactive aftersales service. We always ensure that our Project Consultants are on hand to provide product demostrations and to assist with furniture health checks further down the line.
