Client testimonial 'Antaxius'
Interior architect Steven Mestdagh on working with Beddeleem on the construction project for law firm Antaxius: "With Beddeleem, there are no unpleasant surprises"
Interior designer Steven Mestdagh from Antwerp-based SVR-Architects was responsible for the new construction project for law firm Antaxius. He worked with Beddeleem as a partner for fitting out their new offices with system walls, floors, furniture and sun blinds.
Law firm Antaxius Advocaten specialises in tax law. The Antwerp office was established in 1995 and given its current name in 2002. Its areas of expertise are tax law, corporate law, Mergers & Acquisitions and criminal law (fiscal, financial and economic issues). The office provides advice, conducts arbitration and handles litigation work, in both the administrative and judicial stages, for national courts and for the Court of Justice and the European Union. Antaxius works for companies, business leaders, the self-employed and private individuals.
Attis built with Interbuild Antaxius’ new offices in Antwerp, close to the Palace of Justice: individual offices for 20-30 lawyers and employees, meeting rooms for around 40 people, a custom-made library and a break area with kitchen adjoining the roof terrace.
SVR-Architects of Antwerp was selected for the budget study, project guidance and space planning for the office fit-out and integration of technical installations in the new construction project.
Steven Mestdagh, interior architect, coordinated de techniques and fit-out. He handled everything - the design, plans, specifications and site visits.
Solid approach
"In order to achieve your client's objectives you have to work with reliable suppliers. It is always a quest to find the right partner. You have that kind of reliable partner in Beddeleem and consequently no unpleasant surprises," testifies Steven. "Beddeleem was in competition with two other players for this project. They were not the cheapest option but did provide a sound competitive price nonetheless. In the end, their solid approach was the deciding factor. Their products fitted well with the rigorous list of specifications. The quality delivered was as described. There was also excellent cooperation with the project manager."
For this project, Beddeleem supplied JB PURE glass system walls, raised carpeted floors, furniture, fixed plasterboard walls, sun blinds and the technical installations.
"JB PURE is a great product," says Steven, "but Beddeleem’s strength lies in furniture as well as system walls and ceilings. This too was subcontracted to Beddeleem because we did not want to involve too many different suppliers and because we wanted to have everything on site quickly."
Value for money
"We have known each other for 15 years already. So, we have already worked together on other great projects, such as the Queen Mathilde Mother and Child Centre at the University Hospital in Antwerp. Therefore, I know from experience that with Beddeleem you have nothing to worry about. You always get what you expect: value for money," concludes Steven Mestdagh.
