The Complexities
Renovation of one million square feet of office and technical space. Infilling slabs to create 100,000 square feet of new space. Relocating 3,000 people and many technical spaces and studios. Upgrading the base building services and keeping the process separate from the tenant improvement work. Scope of work was managed through a pre-set budget and schedule. Tender packages and project phases were detailed, so design packages and construction work could overlap and proceed without creating a bottle neck amongst the design team and the building trades.
