We get it. Developing real estate is rewarding but also brings many risks. To weather the challenges of the market, real estate developers must keep their companies small enough to be nimble and profitable while still being able to address challenges in-house as needs arise.

Developers must keep their operations sustainable with the ability to shift assets around and repurpose them to keep them attractive and easier to lease or sell.

Developers must pay attention to their available capital to ensure they are ready to strike when opportunities arise.

Developers must remain fluid and prepared to get out of deals quickly and into others to keep holding costs down.

Finally, developers must partner with experienced suppliers and service companies to stretch their capabilities and guard assets. 

• Knowing the absolute best location that has current appeal to buyers and tenants, while being positioned for long term success.
• Anticipating client needs while patiently and gracefully bringing those who are inexperienced through steep learning curves and unrealistic budgets.
• Nimbly managing unexpected delays when suppliers and contractors drop the ball.
• Factoring in the “unexpected” like when deals fall through or change dramatically at the last minute.

We understand the dynamic nature of your business and your need to remain lean and swift to stay profitable.

The Gridd  state-of-the-art raised access floor technology solution helps future-proof your financial investment allowing you to swiftly tailor your property to the ongoing needs of tenants and buyers.

Contractors navigate cash flow crunch from clients with sometimes unrealistic expectations.

Contractors navigate the bureaucratic red tape and permitting required, and often under severe time constraints.

Contractors must provide plans and CAD to communicate in detail the client idea with their subs, and often with the client expectation that the contractor will deliver these drawings.

Contractors must minimize the delays of occasional crew mishaps, and the cost impacts of change orders, without compromising deadlines or budgets.

Contractors must provide bids at realistic price points despite the low-ball competition from inexperienced or unethical competitors.

Interior designers do more than make interior spaces beautiful, they also have to make them flow and function. Everything you do directly touches your clients and contributes to their productivity and well-being.

For almost every type of building, Interior designers determine space requirements, select essential and decorative items such as colors, lighting and materials, and make workspaces feel like home. Behind all of the magic, though, you manage the nitty-gritty too.

Interior designers need lead time to develop client ideas, pull together presentations for approval, and then order materials.

Interior designers need reliable vendors to partner with, companies that understand their challenges and have support teams in place to provide things like CAD drawings and space plans to make presentations to the client less stressful.

Interior designers need technologies that allow fast turn around that easily configure and deploy in a range of applications.

Interior designers need floors and fittings that provide the best of current trends while remaining timeless to allow spaces to evolve with the people who work in them.

Your Gridd Adaptive Cabling Distribution System® gives you easy, clutter-free design for your workspace now and unprecedented flexibility in the future.

Gridd’s low-profile, all-steel, modular, quick-connect raised access floor keeps rooms attractive and free of clutter, even in the densest office environments. By moving cables under the floor, your room harmonizes with the needs of the people who work there across the full spectrum of industry installations.

• At the current estimated average employee density rate for organizations, 125 to 225 square feet per employee, modern offices have their hands full organizing cables and wires. Computer networks, office equipment and power cables demand deployment solutions that don’t impinge on employee space or productivity. 
• Gridd40 at only 1.6” (40 mm) height and Gridd70 at only 2.75” (70 mm) height accommodates these requirements.
• In earlier generations of raised floors, designers focused on height to maximize airflow due to the proportionately high amounts of heat these technologies generated. Current office technologies no longer require underfloor cooling. Outdated flooring technologies have now been replaced. 
• Our attractive low profile cable management solutions give you clean, organized, and open workspaces that maximize productivity and wellbeing. 
• Gridd maximizes ceiling height allowing you the ability to retain ceiling height as your business grows and occupancy increases.
• Gridd all steel construction, it can easily be picked up, moved and rearranged multiple times without deteriorating.
• Gridd consists of 16-gauge zinc galvanized steel and is 100% recyclable.
• Gridd is 100 % made in the USA.
• Gridd is installed without screws and core drilling and can depreciate as equipment and thus saves money in the long term.
• Gridd can also be leased.

• Gridd installation is easy and quick, at a rate of 1000 square feet per installer per day.
• Gridd has a high cable capacity. Gridd40 (1.6”) can accommodate up to 50 Cat5e / 45 Cat6 / 40 Cat6A cables every 15 inches at 40% capacity, more than sufficient for any office or computer room.
• Gridd’s unique design offers flexibility to add, move and change workspace configurations. 
• Modules snap into place mechanically, held down by gravity. Cable channels may be opened without tools for easy cable management after the flooring is laid.
• Gridd does not feel like a raised floor. Its solid high-strength construction guarantees stability without creaking or bumpiness. Its design eliminates the sensation of walking on an access floor.
• Components are lightweight and easy to put in place.
• Unlike other raised floors, Gridd is quiet. Its innovative design eliminates distracting footfall and sound resonation.

• Gridd adapts to uneven subfloor surfaces. Its design makes adjustment to accommodate uneven expansion joints or other imperfections in the sub-floor, eliminating the need for floor preparation.
• Gridd installs on any floor suitable for carpeting or PVC flooring. Its slopes and ramps cope with different heights and handicapped access requirements.

• Circular installations are simple with Gridd standard border components. Its intuitive design accommodates curved or irregular walls to ensure a smooth wall to wall finish.

• Gridd borders and frames slide flush to wall surfaces and fasten to the top of the base units.

• All Gridd components may be reused which is good for business and the planet.
• Gridd is easily repositioned in the same room or on the same campus. Components are not fastened to the sub-floors. Its efficient design uses gravity to hold in place. The only screws needed hold down ramps and slopes.

• Gridd base units, channel plates and corner plates provide wiring outlets. Installers do not need to cut or drill anything. 
• The Gridd system stays clean and organized.
• Gridd builds wire connectors and electrical outlet boxes directly into the system. Gridd will also accommodate other brand outlet service boxes, so existing equipment may be repurposed.

• Gridd works with all brands of carpet or PVC tiles. Tiles can self-adhere or pressure-sensitive glue may be applied to the floor-surface, which holds the tiles in place and still allows easy access to the wiring channels. 
• Gridd comes in attractive solid wood flooring modules custom designed for FreeAxez.
• A wide range of available floor coverings can be used with Gridd. As long as floor products are modular such as carpet tile, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and rubber tile, access to the cabling below is retained. If LVT must be a minimum of 5mm thickness to avoid telegraphing of the Gridd surface texture.
• Gridd may be covered with fixed flooring such as wood, stone, ceramic tile, and terrazzo but this greatly diminishes flexibility for moves, adds, and changes. 
• Use of fixed flooring often occurs where power is needed within these hard surfaced floor locations but core drilling or trenching is not a reasonable solution.
• Leaving Gridd flooring systems uncovered is not recommended. Though it has an appealing aesthetic, uncovered systems can quickly become a maintenance issue for removing dirt and debris from getting into the cabling channels.
