Project Management, Cost Management
THE PROJECT The project was a complete office fit out for the locally based team who were at the time working at a business centre. This office was the first regional office for Splunk. The scope entailed project and cost management. With no member of the local team assigned to take on any aspect of the office fit out management on behalf of the client, our contact was based in London. Relying heavily on our local knowledge to bring about the most cost effective and efficient outcome, we delivered works under a tight programme to prevent membership renewal at the business centre. OUR APPOINTMENT We delivered project management and cost management for this client to ensure that the office was ready within their timeline and that they remained within the allocated budget. We carried out independent due diligence on more than 10 companies with a view of inviting the three best to bid. 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.
