Project Scope
Europlan had successfully secured the contract as the agency furniture partner as part of a formal procurement process, proving our capabilities to provide expertise and public value for money, supported by a nationwide, experienced and solutions-focused team.
Having completed recent projects in Christchurch, and Hamilton, Greymouth was the next phase in a nationwide roll out.
This agency wanted to provide a modern workspace for Greymouth, in line with their corporate offices nationwide. Taking into consideration the remote location, and placing importance on delivering great quality, smart and attractive products.
This was an opportunity to apply the programme to a regional location, ensuring the project delivered a workplace aligned with the new property strategy. Well designed, flexible and future proofed.
Project Management
Europlan’s South Island Project Manager, Paul, based himself in Greymouth full time during delivery and installation and built a great relationship with the Agency team. The location meant we had to carefully plan delivery and installation. Preplanning and communication were critical, with an eight hour return trip to consider, we needed to be vigilant when it came to packing and preparing the order.
Under Paul’s expert eye, we ran three truckloads of product across in one day, navigating winter weather through the South Island’s Lewis Pass into Greymouth. Over a three-day programme, Paul and his team of contractors worked with the project team to execute the delivery and installation. To achieve space saving efficiency with our logistics program, we built a significant portion of the products on site.
This project was also one of our first to supply the Yellowbox Smart Locker system and included building bespoke aspects into the doors and a custom-made shroud for the lockers.
We used local contractors to achieve critical outcomes in line with project milestones for Greymouth, this also ensures continuity of service for future changes to the site.
The completed Greymouth office is now a flagship project for the organisation - an example of a superb modern workplace, in a regional location. It is a testament to how great relationships can create something better, together.
