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.
