Project Background and Objectives

Digital ID, a leading technology company, tasked us with transforming their new office space in Halifax through a comprehensive CAT B fit-out. The project involved modifying an existing tenant CAT B fit-out to align with the client’s specific needs.
The main challenge was delivering a high-quality office environment while adhering to a strict budget. The client had ambitious design aspirations and required a functional, modern space to support their team’s productivity.

Opus4 were brilliant from start to finish. The vision and how the reality matched that were incredibly impressive, and the amount of work done in tight timescales also remarkable. Like any project, there were a few small hiccups, but these were dealt with well. Would (and have) recommend Opus4 to anyone looking for an office fit out.
