Background
- June 2023: HDFC planned a new Call Centre/BPO in Commerzone Porur, Chennai.
- Commerzone Porur (completed in June 2020) spans 6.0 acres with nine floors.
- HDFC occupied four floors totaling 150,000 sq. ft.
- Challenge: Conventional flooring would create excessive noise, disturbing other operational offices and nearby residential areas.
- Additional challenge: Fast-track project with a strict 90-day completion deadline.
Solution
- Flexi proposed Raised Access Floors (RAF) to overcome installation challenges.
- Noiseless Installation: RAF installation process ensured minimal disruption to other occupants and neighbors.
- Flexibility During Installation: Allowed floor map modifications during installation.
- Post-Installation Modifications: Enabled easy adjustments after handover for future adaptability.
- Timely Execution: Flexi completed the entire installation within the tight 90-day schedule.
Impact
- Timely Project Completion: HDFC moved in on schedule, saving rent from their previous location.
- Future Adaptability: RAF design eliminated the need to break the mother slab for modifications.
- Sustainability: 70–80% of materials are reusable if HDFC relocates, supporting cost savings and sustainability goals.
- Eco-Friendly Product: Flexi RAF is green-certified, aligning with HDFC’s sustainability commitments.
- Notable Acknowledgement: Special Letter of Thanks on Completion from HDFC.
- Encouraging Prospects: Positive experience has encouraged HDFC to consider Flexi for all future projects, proving the reliability and benefits of Flexi’s Raised Access Floor solutions.
