Service 06 · Flagship

We re-plan the whole floor, then rebuild it.

A full survey of the building — cabling, coverage, hardware age, phone points, power — followed by a phased replacement that leaves the business trading the whole way through.

Sheet 01The problem

Offices rarely get rebuilt. They accumulate: a switch added here, a cable run there, until nobody knows what plugs into what.

The symptoms are familiar. Wi-Fi that dies in the corner offices. A rack nobody will touch because the cabling is unlabelled. Machines too slow for the work but replaced one at a time, so the office runs four different generations of hardware at once.

Office optimisation treats the floor as one system. We survey what is physically there, plan the rebuild properly — rack layout, access point placement, cable routes, desk positions — and then install in phases, mostly after hours, so no department loses a working day.

You end up with a labelled rack, a documented network, hardware on a known replacement cycle, and one company accountable for all of it.

Sheet 02Scope of works

Company-wide hardware, cabling and network refresh, rolled out in phases.

DWG-01Site surveyFloor walk, cable trace, wireless coverage heat map, full hardware inventory.
DWG-02Rebuild planRack layout, AP placement, cable routes, desk and phone point positions.
DWG-03Structured cablingNew runs, patch panels and labelling that still makes sense in five years.
DWG-04Network hardwareSwitching, routing, firewall and access points sized for the actual floor.
DWG-05WorkstationsSpecified against the work each role does, not one spec for everybody.
DWG-06Documented handoverRack diagram, network map, asset register and a support agreement.
Sheet 03The deliverable

Every floor gets drawn before anything is bought.

The plan is the deliverable of the survey — a drawn layout of racks, cabling, coverage and desk positions. It is yours to keep, whether or not Greenstem does the build.

Sheet 04How it runs

Installed in phases, trading throughout.

  1. 01 / Survey

    Walk the building

    Cable trace, coverage map, hardware inventory, power and rack audit.

  2. 02 / Plan

    Draw the rebuild

    Layout, placement and a phased schedule costed department by department.

  3. 03 / Build

    Install in phases

    After hours and in stages, so the business never stops trading.

  4. 04 / Hand over

    Document and support

    Labelled rack, network map, asset register, retained support.

Sheet 05Questions we get asked
How disruptive is it?
Planned properly, very little. We work department by department and do the cutover work after hours. The point of the phasing is that nobody loses a working day.
Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. The survey usually finds equipment worth keeping. The plan is phased partly so the cost spreads across a financial year.
Can you work around a landlord or building manager?
Yes. Cable routes, riser access and after-hours work all get arranged with the building as part of the planning phase.
What does it cost?
It depends entirely on the floor size and what the survey finds, which is why the audit comes first and is priced separately from the build. You get a real number before you commit to anything.
