THE PROJECT This project is a greenfield development comprising 37 luxury villas ranging from 650 sqm to 1,900 sqm (GFA), completed to shell and core level, with five land plots on the beach front. It is being developed as a high-end luxury gated community. The combination of shell and core and land plots and the level definition of permitting and ownership of the internal distribution infrastructure presented unique challenges with respect to authority approvals. Furthermore, the use of bespoke materials challenged the team to develop and implement robust processes to ensure the desired level of quality is achieved. OUR APPOINTMENT Our appointment commenced from the concept design stage through to delivery of the built asset. We implemented firm project controls, adopted by the principal for their portfolio management. Our work in this discipline helps us to ensure that our costs and timelines for delivery of requested materials falls within the programme parameters set forth during the project kick-off with the client. Our expertise with transitioning-built assets to operators allows us to build in the FM requirement at the design and build stage.
THE BENEFIT We helped our client to shape their new residential development company in Abu Dhabi. Our technical expertise ensured all stakeholders worked effectively to deliver within the specified timelines as per the project programme. As a result of our success in the appointment, we also provided project and commercial management services for their HQ (the conversion and fit out of an ex-industrial warehouse at Mina Zayed Port).
