The Client was concerned about the progress of this particular project and approached us to resolve the situation. The project had been brought to a halt and a substantial amount of the programme time had been expended for little gain. The project deadline could not be altered.

The Litchfield Project Team was quickly assembled and a new brief taken from the client. Whilst this was being undertaken we went out to the market on a stage 2 tender.

The contractor Como was brought on board and together we set about designing, procuring and value managing the contract. Packages were quickly assembled and construction got underway very quickly.

An extranet was set up in 24 hours to facilitate the smooth passing of information and every member of the team and the supply chain were added to the network to ensure that all parties were kept in contact with the rapid change and progress.

Despite the demands of the programme time the building threw up technical difficulties which still had to be overcome despite the situation. The secret to the success was the skill of the managers on site and the designers involved who through their experience were able to increase the buildability of the project and find efficiencies which enabled the project to be completed on schedule.
