THE PROJECT The project is a two-floor office fit out in the Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, with a total floor space of 1,520sqm. 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. The project was on an extremely tight timeline due to client needing to mobilise new staff into the building, PMKConsult worked closely with the client and the contractor to ensure the timelines required were met. OUR APPOINTMENT We were tasked to manage the client appointed design consultant and suppliers throughout every phase of this project. 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. We aided with the design process throughout the project including providing advice and mitigation strategies on design clashes and all required changes which was one of the main challenges of 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. We continually updated the client on budget reviews and managed the Value Engineering process to achieve the project budget. Furthermore, our role was to work closely with the contractor for managing the and providing mitigation strategies for procurement of materials and installation works to meet the project programme.
