THE PROJECT Following its growth, GDMO required an upgrade to its facilities. The project entailed adding a studio and edit suites, developing more activation spaces for the artistic arm of the office Brand Dubai, and reinstating the Dubai Press Club. Relocating to a larger and more suitable office and upgrading its amenities was the most appropriate step forward for GDMO. OUR APPOINTMENT We were appointed to provide project and cost management services throughout the project life cycle from concept to completion. The new GDMO is a built-up space of 4,200sqm with key areas including master control room, edit suites, recording studio and a conference room equipped with a translation booth. We delivered design management, specialist consultant and contractor procurement, cost and contract management and construction monitoring throughout the project.
THE BENEFIT GDMO’s internal team was able to concentrate their efforts on managing day-to-day operations as we managed and delivered the complete project. The procurement route selected was traditional, which meant the design package had to be completed prior to the contractor beginning works on site. We managed the coordination between the main contractor and client-nominated contractors for the broadcast, IT, AV and security systems resulting in a smooth and collaborative working relationship between all parties. The design drawings, requirements and site access of each contractor were met successfully. We utilized our technical knowledge of media-based projects to aide successful migration of broadcast equipment from GDMO’s existing facility whilst ensuring seamless interface with the new broadcast equipment installed in the new office.
