CHARITY SECTOR CASE STUDY

“Our decision to work with Constructive has

”
CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION | LONDON EC4

the brief
When CAF moved offices, within EC4, they were adamant that the
new office must enhance the working environment of the staff and
visitors alike – without being opulent. The charity’s office plays an
important role in the successful working of the organisation —
meetings take place with Trustees, the Government and large
organisations. In short, the office needed to be functional, attractive
and motivational with a standard of fit-out commensurate with CAF’s
charitable status.

the solution
Constructive won the contract as they met CAF’s criteria and the
‘corporate fit’ was perfect both in terms of size and mentality. Good
communication and working practices, with a track record of
responsiveness, honesty and integrity were also important.

Constructive was appointed to provide the space planning, design
and complete fit-out for CAF’s new office – with just 3 months to
complete the work.

the result
