Testimonial

"I knew I could place my trust in the Solidus team - they are rock solid people who made a terrific effort and delivered the goods. Despite significant issues, they worked in an extremely smooth and efficient way. By careful planning before construction, their professionals were able to build our unique office image."

- Paul Stratton, President, Macey Noyes

Challenges

• Complete design/build/furnish of new, high tech environment for packaging design firm Macey Noyes
   
• Reconcile the company's innovative but costly ideas with the project's finite budget and tight deadlines
   
• Coordinate all utility installations-fire sprinklers, HVAC, spiral duct, phone/data, security and electrical systems
   
• Overcome plan review delays from the city's building department

The Solidus Approach

• Utilized the relationship previously forged between Solidus and the city's building department to commence work before complete drawings were available
   
• Partnered with Bianco Giolitto Architects, a firm with a solid track record of providing immediate feedback on unexpected design challenges
   
• Offered alternative, cost-effective solutions to replace the expensive design components originally specified, achieving the same look at a fraction of the cost
   
• Coordinated the fast-track work of multiple tradespersons on the ceilings and walls simultaneously
   
• Devised space solutions to accommodate the rapid growth and evolution the company experienced during the build

Results

• Macey Noyes' new beautiful, open and airy work environment provides inspiration to its design team and an innovative brand image to the marketplace
   
• The working showroom now has unique, movable partitions that can adapt for a meeting of two or the inclusion of many designers
   
• Despite several challenges, Solidus met all creative, budget and deadline expectations.
   
• Macey Noyes plans on contracting Solidus to reconfigure adjoining office space to accommodate the firm's expansion
