THE PROJECT DFS Group sought to create a fresh, open plan, modern workspace for their new regional headquarters within four existing warehouse units at ADAFX Logistics Park. The warehouses have a total area of 1,790 sqm including the ground floor and mezzanine space. It was necessary to relocate six existing departments and a total of 75 staff from multiple Abu Dhabi offices under one roof with room to expand support functions as the business grows.

This includes149 new workstations, meeting rooms, huddle rooms a CEO office and lounge and a large breakout pantry. The project required many bespoke joinery items and was finished with very bright smart workstations where we coordinated delivery through our furniture supplier who shipped from Italy.

OUR APPOINTMENT We were appointed to provide project and cost management services to the client shortly after the project had kicked off. It started to become clear without a PMC on board both time and budget could not be controlled diligently.

The client was occupying one floor in the building, a strategy was formed whereby the contractor would carry out works on one floor and then we would migrate the staff to the completed floor and begin the works on the old office.

We also managed the tender process for the main contractor and specialist contractors. Our work included providing concise advice on all variations and suggest options that would be most suitable for the project.

Another challenge was to ensure that the project timelines were met for handing over a floor first to ensure that staff can migrate early and then complete the demolition work and fit-out works on the current office floor.

THE BENEFIT Due to the design consultant being appointed prior to PMKConsult’s appointment, our first task was to conduct a review of the design to ensure that what was being proposed by the design team was correct and to the client’s requirements. We highlighted several clashes with the design and base-build and where the design team had not provided sufficient information for the design to be considered as detailed. This aided with providing the contractors with a more comprehensive design for pricing and working from.

THE PROJECT AbbVie’s existing office in Tunis required an upgrade in line AbbVie’s Global Design guidelines. To offer a rationalized use of rentable space over two floors, AbbVie wanted to eliminate the need for an entire floor, thus reducing operating costs. The enhanced floor space must provide an open plan and collaborative environment. Our client wanted to ensure that the newly redesigned space would accommodate employee wellbeing while fostering a greater motivation towards productivity in the professional environment. The space allowed for open plan workspaces, rather than individual-cubicle style setup with break out and collaborative spaces for better interactivity and focus. OUR APPOINTMENT We had already begun work on AbbVie’s office in Kuwait with the pre-contract services successfully delivered. This new project is similar in size, nature and complexity to the Kuwait project. We handled the cost management inclusive of mitigating risks and ensuring that the project requirements do not exceed the overall budget. The project in Tunisia also requires extensive planning to reduce the floor space of the office while at the same time optimizing use of the remaining space to serve the needs of the AbbVie team. We were appointed to provide project and cost management services for the Tunis office at the start of July 2020.

The approximate size of the project is 310 sqm, with the office space consisting of meeting rooms, informal communal spaces, a kitchen, and open works spaces to create a collaborative working environment for the regional team . OUR APPOINTMENT The scope entailed full project, cost and design management with full concept design carried out by our in-house design team, inclusive of a full material take off and 3D renders. This enabled the client to pursue a Design and Build procurement strategy while still having cost certainty.

With the client’s lack of local presence and a complete national lockdown we worked closely with the client using video conferencing and reporting methods to ensure continuity and that processes were carried out in a timely manner.

We recommended installing ‘Time Lapse’ cameras, and the footage was sent twice a week along with high resolution images to show progress. This was done in tandem with the usual reports to ensure the client was fully engaged and updated despite being abroad.

THE BENEFIT Our cost management service was a great benefit to this client due to the number of variations throughout the project resulting from the project owner changing direction in design and other previously agreed-upon elements. The contractor was well managed, and the project was handed over in line with the original completion date. Carrying out exceptional due diligence ensured that our client got the best contractor on board. Our efforts enabled the client to continue its regular operations with minimal interference resulting from our ongoing work. Our client contact was also able maintain her current role while helping to oversee the work at the new regional office.

Design Management

THE PROJECT The project scope included the full fit out of two and a half floor plates totalling approximately 4,600 sqm of office space. The key drivers for the project were to create an integrated, open plan workspace, rich with natural elements and landscaping. The client’s priority was to design an office that would further employee productivity and inspire a desire among staff to interact and collaborate. Their previous office space was entirely cellular and segregated. Level 7 of the office was to be a training facility that caters to over 100 governmental employees to accommodate the many training seminars delivered by SDG. OUR APPOINTMENT We were appointed after the interior design team with the concept and design already approved. To ensure a successful outcome, we assessed the design against budget and programme. We identified the project risks and scheduled workshops with the client to isolate stakeholder requirements. We developed strategies to ensure the success of the project against the established brief. We also managed the rest of the design and carried out a full scope of cost management services for the remaining floor space. This included further identifying of key drivers and the procurement and execution against those requirements.

THE BENEFIT Our client benefited from our uniquely thorough approach that enabled them to avoid pitfalls in the process of bringing their vision to life. Our efforts were well received, and this was demonstrated by our quick re-appointment to help bring an additional level to fruition. The new open space and collaborative working style will help Smart Dubai Government delver against their brand promise to make Dubai the World’s Smartest and Happiest City. The team at SDG now have plenty of opportunity to work together and discuss ideas or work in seclusion with a variety of working style preferences at their disposal.

Project Management

THE PROJECT Imkan planned to move from their offices in CI Tower to a warehouse facility in Mina Port, Abu Dhabi. The project was a complete fit-out of 1,100 sqm of office space for Imkan’s team, which at the time consisted of 30 team members with a capacity to expand to 50 team members. The warehouse design included a mezzanine floor, a front-of-house reception, one board meeting room with three further meeting rooms, a café, which is operated by an external vendor, a gym, relaxation provisions as well as an atrium. The atrium was to provide space for external teams working with Imkan in a modern collaboration area with separate zones. OUR APPOINTMENT We provided lifecycle project management services for this exciting project. This warehouse project transformed an existing warehouse, previously used for another purpose into a modern, industrial looking office facility. Conversions of spaces used for different purposes take a significant amount of creativity from both a design and implementation perspective especially with regard to cost control to transform a space successfully while taking the benefit and advantage of the premise’s existing infrastructure. Our added value was the close monitoring of the design and build contractor in the design phase. The project also had some unique challenges resulting from authority requirements. The project programme was approximately nine months.

THE BENEFIT With our diligent efforts to manage the authority approval process, the cost and timeline specifications, the client was able to realise its innovative workspace in an unusual working environment. Our hands-on approach to closely monitor every aspect of this delivery and ensure that the project moved consistently through timely approvals from the relevant authorities demonstrated our willingness to put our clients first and deliver against the client’s ambition rather than the physical project. Due to our effective handling of this project, we have a successful collaborative relationship with this first-class developer.

Project Management, Cost Management

THE PROJECT Booz Allen Hamilton planned to move their existing offices in Etihad Towers Abu Dhabi to the 28th floor in Khatem Tower in Abu Dhabi Global Market Square (ADGMS) in the capital city. The project is an office fit out of 520 sqm of space for their locally based team. The office space required open plan workstations and one person offices. Other elements of the fit out scope included a front of house reception, four meeting rooms, pantry, and relaxation and break out spaces for the team. Work collaboration and wellness were significant elements required in the new office space. The planned density of the office space was set at 10.8 sqm per person. OUR APPOINTMENT Our work involved project and cost management in addition to commercial management for the pre- and post-contract stage. The project duration was 10 months and required to be completed ahead of their anticipated move-in date. We closely monitored the lead consultant in the design phase to ensure design feasibility and the required functionality of the space. We also ensured that the design would fall within the allocated cost and timeline parameters set by the client. We also managed a smooth phasing towards a cost-plus contractor procurement successfully, which enabled cost effective and durable solutions for our client.

THE BENEFIT Companies are increasingly seeking spaces that aid the engine of innovation through shared environments to bring creativity and cross functional collaboration to more effective depths within the team. Creating a space that ‘works’ is more than a beautiful layout; the movement between departments and the space planning between them in addition to spaces that cater to more than one working style are essential elements. Wellness and relaxation are vital to innovation themed offices as well, and this was also well implemented within the space. The company was able to move at the scheduled time with works carried out and delivered successfully to their great satisfaction.
