We were instructed by our client Panattoni a market leader in industrial real estate in Europe, to project manage their 39.819 sq m new-build warehouse and associated office building development in the Netherlands.
The brief was to manage and monitor the works against the contract programme, which involved us supervising and verifying the works such as the (technical) design, materials, branding, and change requests, as specified within the contractual agreements and in accordance with the building permit.
As part of this, we worked closely with the General Contractor to confirm early site access timings post-construction, and to establish the necessary criteria for the building’s handover and snagging process to ensure this was achieved.
Close stakeholder engagement was required throughout the project to manage any key challenges, this allowed us to mitigate any potential barriers efficiently without severely delaying the project.
Our logistics projects experts were able to leverage decades of sector experience in delivery to ensure that any challenges were dealt with compliantly and quickly, managing liaison between all parties to deliver a smooth and mutually agreeable resolution throughout. This pragmatic and proactive approach was used at every stage to provide added value for our client; for example, our expert team knew from previous similar projects that as-built and handover documents, as well as BREEAM certification, can be a challenge to collect soon after completion.
To proactively mitigate this issue, we monitored and discussed this as a regular agenda item in our bi-weekly site meetings so that progress and collection could be achieved as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery.
We’ve enjoyed working with one of the largest industrial developers in the world to deliver this impressive scheme. Our talented team of industrial and logistics specialists is delighted to have been retained by the client to provide ongoing project services for a further two new-build developments to be delivered in the Netherlands over the next two years.
