Challenge

Solution

The project involved managing multiple complexities across design, compliance, and execution. A major challenge was maintaining progress after the building’s cargo lift broke down at a critical phase, impacting material movement and posing a risk to the schedule. Long lead items and procurement delays required stringent sequencing and coordination. Additionally, securing permanent power presented hurdles, necessitating extensive follow-ups with regulatory authorities.

Vestian adopted a structured project management approach, ensuring consistent coordination with all stakeholders. Collaborative workshops helped translate the organisation’s flexible workspace vision into a layout featuring agile zones, team neighbourhoods, and well-planned collaboration and focus areas. The design was further elevated through biophilic elements, regenerative materials, and abundant natural light, supported by efficient energy systems for long-term sustainability. Execution challenges were managed through proactive measures such as securing temporary lift access, tracking long lead items, and fast-tracking permanent power approvals. Real-time reporting, including Matterport updates, ensured complete transparency throughout the project.

Vestian successfully delivered a flexible, sustainable, and people-centric workplace that enhances collaboration, supports productivity, and embodies the organisation’s modern, agile work philosophy.
