Timeline
The project's timeline was set at four weeks during the planning stage. However, by efficiently coordinating Westwood Projects operatives and suppliers, the project was handed over to the client one week early.
Key Features & Outcomes of the Project
Ceiling Enhancements
The existing suspended ceiling grid was in good condition, so it was decided to keep it and replace only the ceiling tiles. To help with heating costs, we incorporated thermal, poly-encapsulated insulation pads above the ceiling tiles. After removing the existing tiles, Rockfon® Stone wool ceiling tiles were installed in the grid. The tiles are an excellent choice for open-plan offices where sound reverberation needs to be reduced.
Air-Conditioning Installation
Before the refurbishment works, the office was heated by electric panel heaters, which were ineffective and expensive to operate. There was also no system in place to cool the environment. Installing the new air-conditioning system will provide climate control in the office areas and meeting rooms.
Office Partition Installation
Using office partitions to divide the office into two functional areas has tailored the workspace to the team’s needs. Additionally, creating a secure storeroom has provided safe storage for items that need to be kept secure.
Doors and Carpentry
New doors were installed to complement the updated design. The doors are finished with oak veneer and fitted with stylish and robust ironmongery. Veneer doors are a practical choice for refurbishment as they require no further upkeep, such as redecoration.
Decoration
Completing the project with a clean and professional finish, the partitions were decorated with white emulsion. The choice of colour is a modern look that brightens the space with a fresh and neutral tone. The newly fitted woodwork was finished with white satinwood to match the walls, leaving the impression of professionalism throughout the office.
Outcome
The overall outcome of the project is a transformed office space. Each refurbishment element was tied together, producing an elevated visual appeal and creating a more sustainable, energy-efficient, and enjoyable environment for the business, its employees, and visitors.

Client Feedback
Westwood Projects recently carried out an Office refurbishment, including AC Installation, to a high standard at Relay Engineering in Portsmouth. This would have been particularly challenging as the office was in use, and their attention to planning, communication, and cleanliness made it possible, thanks to Nick, Rob and the team. Fantastic job and a great professional service. I would definitely recommend and use them again.
