Why it mattered

High-rise and mixed-use work runs on rhythm. Hold the floor cycle and the building rises; lose it and every trade behind pays for the slip.

The challenge

A large corporation consolidated thousands of employees into a new headquarters campus.

Move-in was fixed for a single weekend. Technology, furniture and building systems all had to converge on it, and any one of them running late would have pushed the entire move.

PHASE 01Set the cycle

A floor-cycle-driven schedule for structure, facade and services.

PHASE 02Stack the trades

Trade flow planned floor by floor so crews stay productive and out of each other's way.

PHASE 03Price change in time

Design changes assessed for time impact before they are approved.

PHASE 04Hand over in sequence

Residences, offices and retail handed over in a planned order.

What changed

The difference we made

Measured the only way that matters: whether the date and the budget held.

Result 01Monday at new desks

Thousands of employees left on Friday and started Monday in the new campus.

Result 02Network live before the boxes

IT systems passed full testing a fortnight ahead of the move weekend.

Result 03Independent owner controls

We led schedule and controls on the owner's side, giving executives a view that did not depend on the contractors' reporting.
