Spaceway pulls out all the stops to ensure universal engineering meets deadline.

Spaceway new office layout for Martin Grant Homes
Spaceway has undertaken a complete turnkey operation for Martin Grant Homes including design, all building and electrical work and the supply of office furniture.
An existing building, the 20,000 sq.foot premises located in Lynx Trading Estate, Yeovil, have now been fitted out to provide new administrative offices, meeting rooms, store and open plan offices equipped with tea points, toilets and dark rooms.
To make maximum use of the area, Spaceway has installed a mezzanine floor and equipped the building with demountable Komfort office partitioning, suspended ceilings, lighting, electrics, small power, data cabling and cable management systems.
The interior of the building has been extensively decorated and fitted with carpet tiles, vinyl floor coverings and equipped with Senator Jigsaw Plus workstations, seating and storage systems.
To complete the project Spaceway South fitted out the stores area with high bay racking and an order-picking machine.
"Spaceway South worked through the night to fit out the facility in the limited period available", said Chris Bell, Managing Director of South Dorset Engineering a division of Universal Engineering.
"Without their speedy response, we would not have completed the MoD contracts on time which would have put future contracts in jeopardy".
"Spaceway have done a fantastic job and we are delighted with the final result".
Spaceway South won the contract after an eight-month consultation period with Universal Engineering, which involved providing detailed space planning, design, product selection and budgeting.
Spaceway South provided a complete turnkey operation, which also included consultancy on Building Regulations, Planning, and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements.
In addition Universal Engineering is also using Spaceway's Consumables Division (SAC) for the supply of warehouse, workshop and materials handling equipment.
