THE PROJECT This project involved establishing a Wellbeing Clinic in Abu Dhabi for our client- Priory Healthcare. The company found a Villa Property in a very prominent location in Downtown Abu Dhabi. Having planned the scheme, the Property acquired a change of use (from residential to commercial) and the scope of fit out works was agreed with The Department of Health. Under a design and build contract, the contractor established site works with a 15-week, fast track programme. Under the scope, 20 specialised consulting rooms were to be created along with associated back office and reception/waiting space. The new requirement for the space was spread over the two floors. OUR APPOINTMENT Our appointment from Priory Healthcare was a result of our successful project completions on two previous construction projects for the Al Karamah School. Our understanding of this British client translated to the local design, approvals and construction sequence added true value and smoothed the process throughout. During this commission we were in close control of all dialogue to and from the client and the contractor. The team logged all conversations that affected the design and execution as
THE BENEFIT Our value driven way of working is collaborative and involves all the relevant stakeholders. We strive to balance and facilitate discussions on matters as they arise – this is particularly important with a“User Client”of the facility that is under creation. The success of a project managed well comes with a timely delivery, built to a good quality and within the agreed budget. All three criteria were met on this scheme and the client duly anticipated its stunning new environment to conduct their very crucial business of psychiatry and mental health services.
