How Shell Renovated A New Office In Time To Go Live

Shell needed a new office that complied with its Shell Connect Workplace standards. However, designing a new office was challenging because their employees were accustomed to the old one.

In addition, the delay in the handover of the new office from the landlord, along with the design changes during the construction phase, affected the project timeline. Shell could not afford a delay in the completion because it would affect Shell’s Go Live event.

The Cushman & Wakefield team conducted surveys with the different departments in Shell to understand their needs. The team also conducted regular meetings with the landlord to ensure that they were aware of the Shell’s critical milestones and Go Live dates. By doing so, the team was able to secure commitment from the landlord’s team for their pending deliverables.

We also facilitated regular meetings between contractors and designers to ensure that there was no miscommunication with regard to design changes. Items that had a long lead time were also procured by us on behalf of Shell. This allowed the procurement process to be expedited and the items to be delivered on time.

We were able to manage and mitigate all project risks. Our commitment towards this project and the cooperation from all stakeholders allowed us to deliver the project safely and on the agreed schedule.

The team received positive reviews at the end of project and Shell Philippines' new office was inaugurated in February 2019.
