Programme •

Construction period of 66 weeks

•

Occupation essential prior to commencement of term

The reality •

Quasi-partnering relationship with contractor, in two-stage tender process, helped delivery within tight budget and programme

•

Initially, second ﬂoor was left as a shell, pending further funds

•

Contractor managed to complete ﬁt-out of shell, within original programme

•

Consequently, long list of defects requiring action post-contract

•

Overheating on east side, where brise soleils had been omitted due to cost

•

Omission of main entrance canopy due to cost

•

Automatic control of high-level vents made manual during the day

•

Late introduction of cellular spaces in ﬁt-out compromised natural ventilation philosophy
