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 BENEFIT With a demonstrated ability to manage constrained budgets and deliver best practice corporate governance through our ability to communicate, report and offer detailed analysis of procurement permutations, we are continued the services and provided for AbbVie in Kuwait. The continuity of team members between our UAE-based team and AbbVie’s project management team in Ireland offers great benefit in terms of simplifying and streamlining communications, understanding expectations and bringing certainty of outcome. Our attention to detail and thorough reporting is a great advantage to AbbVie as a publicly traded entity.
