Supporting Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses

Modern Co-Working Spaces: Supporting Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses

Co-working spaces have grown to be a very popular option as a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional office space. Not only do they provide businesses with the opportunity to work in a professional environment, but they also offer a wide range of amenities and networking opportunities.

Venture X Washington DC- Adams Morgan is proving to be one of the community’s most valuable assets with its easily accessible location and variety of spaces available. The perfect setting when supporting small- and medium-sized businesses.

We will explore the vision for Venture X, installation logistics and the benefits to the community from this new co-working space.

Challenge

No matter the level of preparation, there is always a chance that issues may present themselves. Douron takes the necessary steps to ensure that solutions are created for a beautiful end result.

Designing a space for the purpose of co-working during the pandemic definitely had its challenges. Addressing all of the installation logistics added even more complexity to the process. Due to the location of the historic building being in the heart of one of Washington DC’s historic neighborhoods, this presented parking and offloading challenges for the Douron installation team.

Solution

To address the concerns for this project: parking, offloading, securing the elevator, surveying the workspace, informing the staff of install, and coordinating with other trades, a site visit prior to installation was key.

The implementation during the install process included the following:

Initial Site Visit

During the initial visit, we reviewed the plans for electric and data outlet placement where needed and addressed any other concerns they may have for installation according to the plan.

Preparation

To prepare for installation day, the warehouse team loaded all products into the delivery trucks according to floors and rooms to ensure a seamless install into the buidling.

Coordination

To remain consistent with the project timeline, it was imperative to coordinate with all other trades on site. This ensures that daily tasks were handled smoothly.
