Karl Lagerfeld HQ in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The project consisted of the fit-out of a listed building on the canals in Amsterdam (Herengracht) to create a new global headquarters for Karl Lagerfeld. The developer, Millten, delivered the base build works and the fit-out works were directly procured by the client Karl Lagerfeld in individual packages. We were appointed by Karl Lagerfeld to deliver a full suite of Project Management and Cost Management services.

We were responsible for the strategy of the project delivery as well as the procurement of the contractors being directly appointed. We worked closely to integrate our services with the developer, working together in order to avoid failure costs caused by design changes between base build and fit-out. By carrying out the procurement using a packaged approach, we created cost and time savings for this fast-paced project.
