The help that contractors needed was for any hire which included tools, waste and powered access. With their unique ability to supply everything, in any location in the UK with one phone call, they rapidly grew. The Working Space Requirement Nationwide Hire Ltd has grown since then to a £17m company with 70 staff, a supply chain of over 1,200 suppliers and access to over 9,000 locations around the UK and Ireland. It was soon clear that they had outgrown their existing facilities in Fareham due to their expanding workforce. In November 2017 Jonathan Holley (Managing Director) set out to find the perfect 8,000 to 10,000 sq. ft. workspace that would ensure Nationwide Hire’s world-class service levels continue and where the business would have plenty of space to grow. The Delta House, a 1960s building which had previously been used as an educational facility, was a maze of rooms and corridors. These needed to be completely renovated to create a spacious open plan office. The Contractor Selection After a year long tender process Total Design were selected as principal contractor and the 4 month building project began. The brief was to create a modern spacious and exciting office environment while also matching the specific ergonomic needs of a fast response based business centre with acoustics and hot desking key elements. Total Design had a long-standing relationship with Nationwide as a user of their services, but it was our attention to detail and honest approach that impressed the MD and Owner. The Works Specification Works included major demolition and structural alterations and a full fit-out package which resulted in a modern, spacious and exciting office environment. Despite many challenges with such an old building, the project was delivered on budget and to schedule resulting in a delighted client. Throughout the process Total Design was not only managing the project but was heavily involved in the design elements of the project, giving advice to the client and keeping the budget realistic. Quality Customer Service Finished on time and on budget, these fantastic high spec offices named Howard Piper House were officially opened by Lynda Piper and ex Portsmouth Goalkeeper Alan Knight on the 8th May 2019. 5 Star Customer Rating “From the very beginning I knew Total Design were going to be our choice.
