THE PROJECT The project consisted of the entire renovation of the Al Hamra Mall in Ras Al Khaimah with the objective of updating the look and feel of the entire asset, as well as enhancing the F&B offering at the mall. The project includes the renovation of all public areas and services, including ground and first floor corridors, installation of new skylights, rand renovation of wash rooms and prayer rooms. Further improvements to the malls amenities are being introduced through a new gym, F&B food court with drive thru, and incorporation of a fine dining plaza at the heart of the mall. The uplift to the appearance of the mall will be complete through the renovation of the malls centrepiece, which is a 35 meter diameter stained glass dome, along with the renovation of the exterior landscaping, façade and car park facilities. OUR APPOINTMENT PMK’s engagement for this project comprised project management, cost management, lead design and supervision. This means that we offered a comprehensive service to our client from the financial analysis and design process during tender all the way through to construction execution and handover. One of the biggest challenges overcome on this project was the constant evolution of the scope; being an operating mall works were carried out in phases and the design continuously changed to adapt to the needs of our client and the mall users. Procurement of the main contractor was also a complex process due to the tight time constraints of the project, we navigated this by doing a sole source tender with benchmarking to ensure procurement was done on time while still obtaining a competitive price for the client.
THE BENEFIT The added value that PMK brought to this project was being nimble and adapting to the scope changes required by our client. We successfully studied the feasibility of changes proposed and managed these pro actively with the main stakeholders to ensure timely and efficient implementation.
