The workplace is evolving from the daily commute, interactions with colleagues and customers, and our social values and networks.

GDA helps people and organisations adapt to modern working, be it office, home or anywhere between. We work with many companies, some that seek to move away from traditional workplace structures.

The office had been changing before COVID-19. Your team’s well-being and productivity can be affected by an outdated model. Smarter working encourages people to be more flexible, less static, and do good things.

So, whether you are reconfiguring or relocating, we support you through the process and create destinations where people want to be.

We partner with contract furniture and lighting manufacturers and resellers to specify and procure well-designed quality furniture, storage and locker systems, lighting, and accessories. We also help clients to set up dedicated home workspaces for their teams.

We recommend DSE Assessment for workstations as part of your HR duty. As an employer, you have the same health and safety responsibilities for home workers as for any other worker.

Great spaces attract, nurture, and retain talent. They encourage collaboration and social interaction, leading to greater productivity and flexibility. Additionally, they help people feel good about themselves and their work.

Since the pandemic, we’ve reconfigured open-plan spaces into sub-divided work areas with meeting rooms, breakout spaces, and quiet zones. Precision-engineered partition systems and acoustic pods are used to achieve this, along with specialist noise-reduction materials for extra acoustic control.

Good lighting in the workplace is proven to reduce eyestrain, migraines, headaches, and fatigue, as well as accidents and absenteeism. Our lighting designs and calculations ensure recommended lux levels, colour temperatures, and energy efficiency using LED luminaires from market leaders.

Technology dramatically improves processes and productivity, as we rapidly migrate to cloud platforms for communication, collaboration, and remote work. Cloud offers up-to-date tools and file access to your teams’ devices, enabling them to work wherever they are. Our UK-based IT partners set up and support your datacomms using reliable and proven voice, data, and network products.

The design process typically includes a building measurement survey, floor plans and elevations, detail drawings, lighting and M&E services drawings, and if need be, 3D renders and immersive tours, a written schedule of works, and tender documents. Buildings may require a structural survey, which we offer as a service.

GDA has a proven track record of completing Cat A and Cat B fit-outs for work spaces, including office, co-working, and communal spaces, retail and mixed-use developments, historic buildings, restaurants and bars, television news studios, education institutions, healthcare centres, recreation, leisure, and visitor attractions.
