Over a period of six years, United Project Solutions (UPS) partnered with Diabetes Victoria and Diabetes Australia to deliver multiple staged refurbishments at their headquarters, located at 570 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. Spanning 711 square metres of land with a total building area of 1,258 square metres, the two-storey office and showroom required a series of strategic upgrades to enhance functionality, efficiency, and collaboration. 

Our team developed a strong working relationship with the CEO and executive team, working closely to ensure each project phase was tailored to their evolving needs while maintaining strict budget controls. Through open-budget design principles, we provided full transparency in cost management, ensuring the best value without compromising quality. 

Smart Design & Space Optimisation One of the key transformations involved rethinking traditional office layouts to improve workspace functionality. We shifted private offices away from the windows, demolishing four perimeter offices and replacing them with a lounge, breakout space, storage areas, and 24 workstations. This clever redesign maximised natural light for the entire team, fostering an open and inclusive work environment. 

Cost-Effective & Sustainable Solutions With tight budgets in mind, UPS employed innovative cost-saving measures, including the use of high-quality second-hand furniture and carpets. These sustainable choices not only reduced costs but also aligned with the organisation’s values, saving Diabetes Victoria and Diabetes Australia tens of thousands of dollars. 

Comprehensive Fit-Outs Throughout the various stages, our refurbishments included: 

• Workstations and open-plan office design 

• Private offices and meeting rooms 

• Tea rooms and breakout spaces 

• Phone booths and quiet zones 

• Smart storage solutions 

By prioritising flexibility, collaboration, and sustainability, UPS delivered a refreshed and functional workspace that met the organisation’s needs while staying under budget. Our expertise in project management, cost control, and strategic design ensured Diabetes Victoria and Diabetes Australia could focus on their mission without disruption to their daily operations. 

United Project Solutions takes pride in delivering projects that not only enhance work environments but also offer tangible financial and operational benefits to our clients.
