Scope

Includes the design of 6 additional sound stages on the Pinewood Studios property. The client was concerned about potential increased construction costs which would make the project financially unviable. THL recommended a methodology for confirming construction costs, enabling Value Engineering workshops, and verifying targeted project payback. This included preparing the preliminary working drawings which were used for Value Engineering. 

Solution

THL retained the design consultants, overlooked the preliminary designs, organized design review meetings with the future users, and conducted Value Engineering workshops to provide more cost effective solutions.  The entire assignment was completed in less than four months.
