THE PROJECT We were appointed to manage the fit out of a high end Mediterranean Restaurant in the Al Zohra Development in Ajman. The Al Thanani restaurant fit out included nearly 1,000 sqm of restaurant space including outdoor terrace seating and different kitchen areas. The total seating capacity of the restaurant is 145 pax, of which 80 are located outside on the terrace overlooking the Al Zohra Development. The mixed use development is built within a lush ecosystem to create an active seaside community. The restaurant atmosphere needed to complement the development and bring the coastal ambience to life. OUR APPOINTMENT Our role was to deliver turnkey project management consultancy for the pre and post contract cost in addition to fulfilling the role of commercial management consultancy. We were brought into this project to recover it. The project had already begun and was stalled due to unforeseen challenges on site. Our challenge was to reignite the delivery process through to operational handover. Once the programme planning was recovered, the work flow was seamlessly implemented. The designs required direct management and resolution in many respects in order to get the contractor to implement against design feasibility and achieve through the determined work flows and recovered programme.
THE BENEFIT The main risk for any stalled project is the loss of potential profit. We realise that a timely programme offers a much stronger return on investment for the project owners. It was really important to get this project across the line and bring it to operational handover so the asset can perform. The operator’s project team was extremely hands- on to support the successful completion of this project. Working together, we were able to deliver this and bring the restaurant to life for those living within the development in Ajman. The restaurant offers a unique atmosphere for its patrons and is a successful endeavour for the operator.
