Real Estate Developers

raised floor system

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. 

Successful Real Estate Development demands:

  • 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.

Architects

Raised Floor

You’re three weeks into the final stages of a build, and the client just called. He and his wife spent the weekend brainstorming and they can’t wait to show you their ideas.

As an architect, you take your client’s ideas (and your own) and bring them into a functional harmonious reality. But the process of getting there isn’t always as smooth as you’d like.

Architects maintain the building’s vision with as little compromise as possible despite delays, budget tweaks and unforeseen challenges.

Architects draw on prior successes to eliminate delays and minimize the cost impacts of change orders without compromising their projects.

Architects work with construction contractors to implement ways to accurately estimate the time required for each phase of the construction.

Architects need to balance quality outcomes with profit to maintain the profitability of their firms. 

As an architect, you continually drive yourself and your firm to deliver great designs efficiently while controlling costs and managing client expectations.

Successful building design demands:

  • That spaces retain a measure of adaptability to future-proof the client investment.
  • That design conventions are observed through every level of the build to ensure the result is harmonious.
  • That top-quality elements of the design are brought together in a practical, sustainable way.
  • The use of the latest, most cost-efficient, and energy-conscious technologies to provide ease of use for your clients.

Gridd understands that you bring beauty and efficiency into the structure of a building, and staying true to your vision is essential to the success of your structural and financial outcome.

Contractors

Raised Floor

As a contractor, you do so much more than provide the materials and labor. You’re the one who orchestrates the successful completion of your client’s project. You take the idea or vision from the page and bring it into living reality.

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.

And finally, contractors continually drive themselves and their firms to deliver quality work efficiently while controlling costs and managing client expectations.

Successful project management demands:

  • That you find ways to cost-effectively reduce work time while making sure that work quality is top of the line.
  • The use of the latest, most cost-efficient, and energy-conscious technologies to provide ease of use for your clients.
  • The materials you source are from suppliers and vendors that observe best practices like sustainability and domestic manufacturing.
  • That you remain profitable while still staying on track for a timely delivery of your work.

Gridd understands that you track many projects and people at once, and that vendor supported efficiencies mean more money in your pocket once the project is complete.

Interior Designers

Raised Floor

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.

And finally, interior designers must find efficient ways for their firms to deliver quality work while controlling costs and managing client expectations.

Successful project management demands:

  • That you find ways to cost-effectively reduce work time while making sure that work is top of the line.
  • The use of the latest, most cost-efficient, and energy-conscious technologies to provide ease of use for your clients.
  • The materials you source are from suppliers and vendors that observe best practices like sustainability and domestic manufacturing.
  • That you remain profitable while still staying on track for a timely delivery of the project.

Engineers

Raised Floor

As an engineer, you design and install every element of a building, essentially bringing it to life. You manage the lighting, acoustics, elevators and security systems. Everything comes under your watchful eye. 

Engineers have strict deadlines but can often find themselves bottlenecked and waiting on the green light from decision-makers. 

Engineers often find themselves in a budget crunch when working with unfamiliar products and infrastructure systems.

Engineers need easy access to design documents to move projects forward.

Engineers need to partner with vendors who will deliver orders on time and in full to stay on top of tight building schedules. Engineers designed Gridd for engineers. We understand the demands of your business.

Successful building engineering demands:

  • Standardized designs that come from the vendor in a cost-effective, time-saving format while remaining custom to the needs of the space to be fitted out.
  • The use of products that are once-approved, always approved to save time and confusion when deadlines are looming.
  • Vendors with support staff in place are able to quickly provide CAD drawings and space plans and solutions when problems arise.
  • Proven technologies that integrate quickly and adapt to changing conditions

Gridd understands that you need technical data and design specifications readily available for quick, informed decisions. The Technical Support Team at FreeAxez provides the information you need when you need it – so you can focus on finding inspiration, not spec sheets.

Underfloor Access Reimagined

Raised Floor

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 is the ideal solution for the office environment

  • 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 adjusts to varying floor heights and uneven subfloors throughout an organizational campus

  • 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.

Gridd adjusts to circular installations

  • 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 fits tightly along walls

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

Gridd is sustainable

  • 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 has cable outlets

  • 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 does not require special carpet tiles

  • 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.
