Smart Office Fit-Out in London’s Financial District

Refurbished open-plan office with modern workstations and exposed ceiling design by GCL for a London financial firm.

A Modern Office Fit-Out Built for Performance

A leading financial firm in London’s Square Mile needed a complete smart office fit-out on a new floor. GCL delivered a modern and practical workspace. We started with a blank canvas and then transformed it into an energy-efficient, high-performance office with advanced electrical and data systems.

Smart Office Requirements

The client wanted a space that was both functional and elegant. Their brief included the following:

  • Full CAT6 structured cabling for fast connectivity

  • Exposed ceilings with neat, hidden electrical fittings

  • Power to workstations from underfloor systems

  • Energy compliance according to Part L building rules

  • Lighting designed to match the architecture

  • Infrastructure to support rooftop HVAC systems

  • A futureproof design that could grow with the business

Because the deadline was tight, the client needed the space ready for a phased staff move-in.

The Smart Office Solution

GCL’s experienced team created a solution tailored to the client’s needs. Key features included:

  • Temporary 110v lighting and power to keep construction moving

  • Split-metered boards to monitor energy use in detail

  • Electrak modular underfloor busbars to supply workstations

  • Inline RCDs to improve workstation safety

  • Dimmable LED and architectural lighting for mood and flexibility

  • Wi-Fi cabling built into the network plan

  • External cabling to power rooftop HVAC units

  • Galvanised containment to match the exposed ceiling design

Moreover, all work was done in close collaboration with the main contractor, ensuring smooth installation with little disruption.

Results That Matter

GCL finished the smart office fit-out on time and to the client’s requirements. As a result, the client gained:

  • A visually impressive and functional workspace

  • Smooth power and data distribution

  • Energy-efficient and compliant systems

  • Great coordination and updates throughout
