Growing business undergoes expansion
Custer embarked on an impactful project for Buist Electric, a leading electrical contractor located in Byron Center, Michigan.
The customer was quickly outgrowing their workspace, prompting a building expansion. Custer supported this project by addressing this challenge with innovative design and timeless furniture solutions.
Most of the project, spanning a substantial 31,000 sq. ft., was completed in June 2023. Dan Vos Construction played a crucial role in the construction phase.
Buist Electric’s primary challenge was a pressing need for more space. The decision to expand the existing building led to the collaboration with Custer.
Custer provided furniture and design, being mindful to provide a seamless integration of the new space to match the existing furniture solutions provided by our team back in 2017.
The furniture solution revolved around Steelcase products, ensuring a consistent and cohesive aesthetic throughout the newly expanded workspace.
The workspace predominantly features cubicles and private offices. While a few conference rooms were incorporated, the focus was primarily on desks. The inclusion of versatile solutions like Slatwall and Migration height-adjustable desks added to the functionality to the space.
The furniture installation involved significant reconfiguring as Buist Electric aimed to relocate elements from the old half of the building into the new addition. Coordinating this process with the installation of new furniture presented challenges that were adeptly handled by Custer’s Project Management and Installation teams.
Key products included Answer cubicles for efficient workstations, Slatwall for flexible storage solutions, and Migration height-adjustable desks, offering ergonomic versatility.
Buist Electric’s workspace transformation showcases the successful collaboration between Custer and Dan Vos Construction in providing tailored solutions to address specific challenges, resulting in a modern and functional workspace that aligns seamlessly with the company’s growth trajectory.
