Adevinta: Cultural and organisational consolidation of the firm's offices

Taking into account Adevinta’s needs, a multidisciplinary team was formed comprising the Office Agency, Workplace Strategy and Project & Development Services teams. These are known to us as the 3 transformative forces. The first challenge consisted of defining the specific work model for Adevinta, based around the key concepts of flexibility, collaboration, innovation and dynamism, along with Adevinta’s own definition of the model. The floor area necessary in order to create these offices was calculated and market analysis was carried out in order to find the most suitable building to meet all of the standards of Adevinta.
 
The chosen building is located in District 22@ and is under construction. As a result, a lease deal in reality became a pre-let, with Adevinta occupying practically half of the building. This minimises future risk for the building owner, translating into a highly advantageous lease agreement for our client.
 
With the building being under construction, part of the lease agreement contained a number of aspects relating to the building in order to save time and cost. Among others, items such as the air conditioning, suspended ceilings and technical lighting will be developed in accordance with the specifications of Adevinta, finishing works such as floorings, interior partitioning, decorative lighting, furnishings, etc., being completed later. Our Project & Development Services team was in charge of producing a project plan divided into two phases: that relating to a building already under construction, and that relating to the performance of interior fit-out works on the finished building. This represented a significant challenge for our team in terms of time frames, with architects, engineers and project managers having to work hand-in-hand alongside the landlord’s technicians and the client in order to properly define every item.
