Multinational client’s large scale, complex industrial project

Linesight provided Cost Management, Procurement, Risk Management and Consultancy services for the large scale fit out of a confidential client’s commercial, manufacturing and R&D space.

Project background

The confidential multinational information technology client decided to separate its business operations and activities, which required relocation of manufacturing-related products and services. As part of this process, a new and sophisticated development, designated for industrial use, was constructed across two blocks and divided into 10 levels.

The fit out for this build-to-suit development in Singapore involved:

• Manufacturing facility including processing line relocation and installation works
• R&D labs and demonstration rooms
• Logistics support facilities including security rooms, loading bay and related spaces
• Work areas such as offices, collaboration and break out spaces, and a self-service canteen for staff
• Rooftop garden

Cost-savings achieved

The Linesight team demonstrated strong technical acumen and achieved significant cost savings for the project through effective negotiations with the main contractor as well as timely and efficient review of consultant variations. Further, due to the complex nature of the manufacturing line relocation and installation works, Linesight structured the bespoke BOQ and RFP documents in a manner that allows for increased flexibility for the client to amend the scope should the business need arises. The team also realigned the budget to avoid significant impact on the overall project cost and delivery date.
