A sleek black coat rack is positioned near the right partition, complementing the modern aesthetic. The overall refurbishment emphasizes functionality, comfort, and a vibrant yet professional atmosphere.

This Cardiff office fit-out saw Virtus’ Regional Works team deliver a modern and highly functional workplace for the Insolvency Service within the Companies House complex on the outskirts of Cardiff city centre. Working to an 11-week programme, the project transformed the newly acquired space into a contemporary office environment designed to support collaboration, accessibility and employee wellbeing.

Cardiff Office Fit-Out and Building Services Upgrades

As part of the Cardiff office fit-out, the Regional Works team installed a new Daikin heating and cooling system alongside a Mitsubishi Lossnay ventilation system, providing an energy-efficient and high-performance HVAC solution throughout the workspace.

In addition, the project included new electrical, public health and fire safety systems, as well as access control installations, AV infrastructure and data cabling. Consequently, the client benefited from a fully integrated workplace ready to support modern ways of working from day one.

Acoustic Meeting Rooms and Flexible Workspace Design

To meet the client’s acoustic requirements, Virtus created a series of meeting and interview rooms using high-performance Ecophon ceiling systems, double-glazed Optima partitions and acoustic plasterboard wall constructions. These elements combined to deliver excellent sound insulation while maintaining an open and professional workplace aesthetic.

Furthermore, the team installed FD30 veneered doors and a sliding folding wall system, allowing the main meeting room to divide into two separate spaces when required. As a result, the workspace can adapt to changing operational needs while maintaining a high-quality user experience.

Accessible Kitchen and Workplace Amenities

The project also placed a strong emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility. The kitchen area featured carefully considered DDA-compliant design solutions, including height-adjustable worktops that allow all employees to access sinks, Zip taps and other amenities independently.

Alongside the fit-out works, Virtus coordinated the installation of the client’s IT infrastructure, furniture and desking. This integrated approach ensured a smooth transition into the completed workspace and minimised disruption to the client’s operations.

Delivered by the Regional Works Team

Delivered by Virtus’ Regional Works division, the project demonstrates the team’s ability to provide high-quality workplace solutions across the UK. Through close collaboration with the client and professional team, Virtus completed the fit-out on programme and within budget.

The completed Cardiff office fit-out provides a flexible, accessible and future-ready workplace that supports the Insolvency Service’s operational requirements while creating a comfortable and productive environment for employees.
