In June 2013, Search4 Office Solutions was appointed by SEB to project manage their office fit-out and relocation to One Carter Lane, EC4.

Over the first few months we interviewed and appointed a professional team of consultants and a main contractor, including the following key appointments:

Designer:  Burtt-Jones & Brewer

Quantity Surveyor:  Bigham Anderson Partnership

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing:  GDMP

IT & Audio-Visual:  Coleman Bennett International

Catering:  Humble Arnold Associates

Furniture:  The Furniture Practice

Artwork: P.A.R.T

Relocation:  MJF Interiors

Main Contractor:  Overbury

Our role was to facilitate the entire fit-out by co-ordinating the professional team in conjunction with the Landlord, Building Control and City of London Planning to deliver the project on time and on budget.

The fit-out was 34,000 sq ft spread over three floors.  It included a state-of-the-art Comms room in the basement with SERs on both 2^nd and 3^rd floor, a fully equipped catering kitchen, client meeting and dining facilities, reception, staff restaurant, a trading floor and gym.

We worked closely with a core management team at SEB, represented by London and Stockholm, including Malcolm Crow, Henk Gorter, Alan Hennebery and Stefan Andre with regular dialogue and weekly meetings.  We were involved with all aspects of the project including floor plans, materials, products, furniture, artwork, lighting, staff workshops and the physical move of 180 staff over two weekends.
