Project Detail:
The Exchange
Description: Commercial Office Fit Out
The Exchange is the first brand new, Grade A office building constructed within the original phase of Dublin’s IFSC since 2003. It will provide 10,000 sq.m. of office space for up to 1,200 people and was designed to achieve LEED Gold standard. The Exchange was completed in October 2017 and is located next to CHQ and George’s Dock, fronting on to the Luas line and within five minutes’ walk of the Dart and railway services at Connolly Station.
This was a challenging project, due to the scope of works changing a number of times during the course of construction. There was also a major hold up from the ESB in getting power available to the site. This led to difficulties with on-site coordination and electrical testing and commissioning. Designer Group overcame this challenge through a proactive and flexible approach to the project, extending the working hours and detailed management of the programme throughout.
Designer Group carried out the complete electrical installation to the entire new building, consisting of the complete shell & core installation, 1 no. full floor of Cat A fit out, 1 no. full floor of complete client fit out (The Food Safety Authority), 1 no. half of a floor of full office fit out (RDJ Solicitors) and 3 no. 6 floors of shell & core fit out over a basement car park.
