THE PROJECT Booz Allen Hamilton planned to move their existing offices in Etihad Towers Abu Dhabi to the 28th floor in Khatem Tower in Abu Dhabi Global Market Square (ADGMS) in the capital city. The project is an office fit out of 520 sqm of space for their locally based team. The office space required open plan workstations and one person offices. Other elements of the fit out scope included a front of house reception, four meeting rooms, pantry, and relaxation and break out spaces for the team. Work collaboration and wellness were significant elements required in the new office space. The planned density of the office space was set at 10.8 sqm per person. OUR APPOINTMENT Our work involved project and cost management in addition to commercial management for the pre- and post-contract stage. The project duration was 10 months and required to be completed ahead of their anticipated move-in date. We closely monitored the lead consultant in the design phase to ensure design feasibility and the required functionality of the space. We also ensured that the design would fall within the allocated cost and timeline parameters set by the client. We also managed a smooth phasing towards a cost-plus contractor procurement successfully, which enabled cost effective and durable solutions for our client.
THE BENEFIT Companies are increasingly seeking spaces that aid the engine of innovation through shared environments to bring creativity and cross functional collaboration to more effective depths within the team. Creating a space that ‘works’ is more than a beautiful layout; the movement between departments and the space planning between them in addition to spaces that cater to more than one working style are essential elements. Wellness and relaxation are vital to innovation themed offices as well, and this was also well implemented within the space. The company was able to move at the scheduled time with works carried out and delivered successfully to their great satisfaction.
