Our contribution
Turner & Townsend provided a full range of project and commercial management services from concept planning to completion and supported construction, quality management, contract administration, procurement, and design coordination.
Making the difference
Turner & Townsend created a bespoke communication protocol to enable the effective coordination of the design and approval process necessitated by the fact that the Lead Designer was based in Amsterdam; the Lighting Designer in London; the Digital Specialist in Paris; and individual vendors located across the globe.
Turner & Townsend were on site to ensure fit-out works, including complex lighting features, display panels, and other MEP installations were carried out.
