Removing Sub floor in an office

[Patrick84]

Hi all,

I need to run some cables under a subfloor and follow up to a wall. I've located where the wires run under the floor via a floor access panel; however, once I removed the carpet tiles, it looks like a wooden subfloor is in place. I've removed the screws attached to the panels, but unsure how to remove them. Would it be best to remove them with a prying tool/bar, or is there a specialist tool to remove them?

Thanks

Are they uniform size panels or large sheets ( which may be t&g ).?
Is this a purpose. Built office building. ?

Hi Foxhole,

The panels appear to be around 50 cm x 150 cm and yes the appear to the T&G as when I try to lift up a panel in the middle of the office, it appears to be lifting the other panels next to it.

From the looks of the office, the flooring appears to be sitting on a blue metal joist; it's on the mezzanine level.

Are joints staggered or inline?
