Project Overview & Mandate
The Problem
Seven buildings of different ages and four listed structures created dense interfaces between heritage fabric, new structure, services and fit-out. Interface failures, not individual packages, were the main threat to completion.
What We Did
Made the interfaces visible and owned: mapped dependencies across listed fabric, structure, MEP and fit-out, set a reporting and escalation rhythm, and ran completion governance focused on quality, schedule and the client's opening requirements.
Outcome
Interfaces controlled and escalated before they compromised completion; a clear completion position for the client. [Owner to add: completion date and opening outcome.]
