Case Study: a leading insurance firm achieves a seamless London headquarters with Oktra

a leading insurance firm delivers a 35,000 sq ft London HQ in 24 weeks with Oktra

Oktra was appointed by a leading insurance firm to deliver its new London headquarters after the project's original main contractor entered administration. The challenge involved inheriting an ambitious program to complete three floors, including a newly acquired one, while ensuring design continuity with the original architectural vision. Oktra also had to navigate complex logistics and coordination within a multi-tenant development where multiple contractors were working simultaneously.

The solution involved Oktra extending the original architectural design onto the new floor and completing the CAT A and CAT B fit out, including a premium brokers' lounge. They utilized a fully coordinated BIM environment for digital coordination and clash detection, which reduced construction risk. Oktra delivered a seamless 35,000 sq ft workplace featuring executive offices, collaborative spaces, and a client lounge, which supports the firm's long-term growth and enhances the everyday experience for its people.
