Our contribution
Turner & Townsend formed a joint venture with the Netherlands-based cost consultants IGG to provide Schiphol with cost and commercial management, procurement and advisory services including estimating, reporting, budget management, change management and risk management services.
We aligned our global experience of complex aviation projects with IGG’s team to produce commercial strategies that support Schiphol Airport on every detail of their programme.
Making the difference
Our experience means we’re able to support Schiphol Airport with tried-and-tested processes for change control, reporting and risk management. We’re also providing insight on contract forms and EU tendering regulations, and knowledge of specialist aviation equipment markets, including procedures for accessing these products and services within schedule and cost. Our comprehensive commercial advice is shaping the procurement and delivery strategy being implemented across the whole programme.
"At this early stage of the expansion programme the focus has been on establishing the baseline project and programme budget and with the systematic management of risk and contingency allowances. As our projects are designed, procured and delivered, Schiphol will benefit from having the capability of Turner & Townsend and IGG available as our adviser on all commercial aspects of the Programme."
