Functional Areas & Flooring Systems

Norman Carpet & Flooring installed a full range of commercial flooring systems throughout the office space, supporting both collaborative and private work environments. 

Installations included open office areas, private offices, conference rooms, reception areas, corridors, and back-of-house spaces. 

Flooring solutions were selected and installed based on acoustics, durability, maintenance requirements, and visual consistency, with careful attention to transitions and alignment across tenant spaces to support a cohesive, professional office environment.

Timeline & Scheduling

  • Installation coordinated with tenant fit-out construction schedules
  • Work sequenced to support inspections, substantial completion, and tenant move-in
  • Crew deployment adjusted to maintain alignment with the critical path

Challenges & Service Solutions

Compressed Tenant Fit-Out Schedule:

Office build-outs often operate under tight timelines tied to lease commencement and occupancy dates.


Service Solution:

Norman coordinated closely with the GC and adjusted crew scheduling as needed to protect the critical path and support on-time delivery.

Cost Control Through Stocked Carpet Tile:

For office tenant fit-outs operating under defined TI budgets, Norman leveraged stocked commercial carpet tile programs to reduce material lead times and secure meaningful cost savings for the end user. By sourcing from available inventory rather than special-order programs, Norman was able to identify discounted pricing opportunities—often delivering material cost reductions of 30–50% compared to standard list pricing—while maintaining commercial performance standards and installation quality.

Multi-Trade Coordination in Office Build-Outs:


Flooring installation must align with millwork, glazing, and electrical work.


Service Solution: 

On-site coordination ensured flooring installations were sequenced correctly, minimizing rework and maintaining finish quality.
