THE BRIEF
Upgrading existing shopping mall facilities
We were approached by DTZ and Future Projects to step in and take over the delivery of this project due to the existing contractor going into administration. Our brief was to completely remodel the main shopping mall and rotunda areas, including mechanical and electrical upgrades.
OUR APPROACH
Careful planning and quick procurement decisions
Taking over a project mid programme from another contractor is always challenging, the works can be fragmented and managing existing subcontractors and/or procuring new to finish works can be difficult. The success of this project came down to our ability to quickly engage with our client and design team to understand the brief and project expectations. Procurement of suitable subcontractors and getting works started on site quickly was a huge part of our delivery strategy.
THE OUTCOMES
Delivered on our promises
The key to this projects success was a quick start on site, effective project management and a reliable supply chain. There were many challenges to overcome on this project including taking over a project which had been started by another contractor, material and labour shortages and COVID-19, but due to our ability to react quickly, utilise our trusted supply chain and the extensive experience of our CDS staff, we not only delivered this project to our clients expectations, we ensured we delivered on our promises.
