When Integral Energy’s leadership walked into their new 2,500 sq ft space, they realised their layout needed to evolve by tomorrow—and scale again next month. As Canadian specialists in Flexible Commercial Office Design, Decca Design transforms static floorplans into dynamic, growth-ready environments that adapt at the speed of your business.
A Monday Morning Awakening
It was 8 a.m. on Monday when Integral Energy’s CEO called: a 20-person bid team needed dedicated pods by day’s end. Our team sprung into action, reconfiguring the open bullpen into individual estimating stations—all without interrupting ongoing work. This rapid response exemplifies how thoughtful adaptable workplace design keeps your operations nimble.
The Three Pillars of Adaptability
1. Modular Walls & Mobile Partitions
Say goodbye to permanent drywall. We installed sound-attenuating mobile walls that two team members can reposition in under five minutes. Whether you need private focus rooms or collaborative huddle spaces, modular office solutions make on-the-fly changes effortless.
2. Multi-Use Furniture Systems
Our toolkit for flexibility includes:
- Flip-Top Tables: Fold them away to reclaim floor space, then flip up for impromptu meetings.
- Stacking Stools & Mobile Desks: Lightweight, on casters, and ready to be arranged for group sessions or solo work.
- Repositionable Storage Towers: Keep bid documents close at hand—wherever you set up.
3. Technology-Ready Infrastructure
A truly adaptable office integrates tech at its core:
- Raised Access Flooring & Overhead Cable Trays for instant power and data hookups.
- Wireless Charging Zones built into communal benches.
- Modular AV & Conferencing Hooks that let your meeting rooms expand or contract on demand.
Behind the Scenes: Speed & Budget Wins
By sourcing quick-ship products from Canadian manufacturers, we met a four-week build-out target—well ahead of standard timelines for Calgary commercial office design projects. A phased installation allowed Integral Energy to occupy one half of the floor while we completed the other, ensuring zero downtime and uninterrupted bidding cycles.
Measurable Impact
- 40 % Faster Meeting-Room Turnaround: What once took hours now takes minutes.
- Zero Operational Disruption: The team maintained full productivity throughout the six-month expansion.
- 95 % Staff Satisfaction: In a post-occupancy survey, nearly all employees agreed they “always have the right space when I need it.”
Key Takeaways for Your Next Renovation
- Design for Tomorrow, Not Just Today: Prioritise adaptability to minimise future renovation costs.
- Select Durable, Versatile Finishes: Matte laminates and resilient textiles stay fresh through multiple reconfigurations.
- Ask About Expansion Plans Upfront: A few targeted questions—“How might our headcount change in 12 months?”—inform smarter layouts from Day 1.
