Commercial man space now in construction!

October 20, 2014 By Kate Abdou 1 Comment

It has been all work and only a little bit of play at Designer Man Cave in the recent months. You may remember part one of an exciting DMC commercial man space project that I shared with you in August. The project has now hit the next phase, so I am keen to share part 2 with you! Here’s whats been going down….

As the interior design has been unfolding, DMC has also been project managing the fit out of the space. As with many inner city high-rise commercial buildings, there has been plenty of paperwork and certification involved before a demolition tool could be lifted from the toolbox – Real Estate, Owner, Building Management, Strata Management, Strata Committee, Contractors, Floor scanner, Structural Engineer, Strata Lawyer, Security, Suppliers….the list goes on!

The green light has been pressed though, my contractors are onsite now making things happen and with loud work only being allowed after hours, they are nocturnal. All is on track for me to hand the site keys to my client in December so their business can rock and roll.

Here is a continuation of the photo journal I’ve been keeping:

Carpet tiles lifted and the slab all marked out by the floor x-ray scanner, in preparation for the Structural Engineer to certify the proposed core holing

In the midst of paperwork and phonecalls, I’ve still continued sourcing. It’s all in the details and these solid scotch glasses were a great find!

Post demolition! This is when it starts to get REALLY real and exciting

Walls are up, ready for the joiner and flooring installer to check measure and all the ceiling services to be adjusted for the new room layout

In amongst the project, my ridiculously kind client shows their appreciation with this special delivery to DMC HQ

A very cool custom piece for the man space waiting room for while gents are waiting for their appointment. Can you guess what it is?

 

WHAT’S NEXT? 

Furniture orders are placed, construction continues and more trades are being booked in by the day. Looking forward to sharing part 3 with you in the coming weeks and this space continues to transform!
