Challenge

Facilities management is crucial for any construction project, especially for multi-story towers involving complex design, engineering, and logistics. Several challenges in the construction process will emerge, such as:

Aligning objectives with the project objectives and stakeholders' expectations
Communicating and collaborating effectively with the design and construction teams,
Integrating requirements and standards into the design and construction specifications
Managing the transition from construction to operation and maintenance, and
Planning and implementing facility management strategies for the life cycle of the building.

Strategy

Meeting the challenges to ensure the building process's quality, safety, efficiency, and outcomes were met involved:

Planning for the present and the long term: need to balance the immediate needs of the project with the future maintenance and operation of the tower. This planning required accurate data, reliable forecasting, and effective stakeholder communication,
Managing multiple contractors and subcontractors: has to coordinate and supervise the work of various parties involved in the construction, such as architects, engineers, suppliers, and workers. This coordination entailed setting clear expectations, monitoring performance, resolving conflicts, and enforcing compliance,
Adapting to changing conditions and requirements: has to cope with uncertainties and risks during construction, such as weather disruptions, material shortages, design changes, or regulatory changes. This adaptability demanded flexibility, agility, and contingency planning, and
Ensuring sustainability and resilience: has to consider the environmental and social impacts of the construction and its operation. This process involved implementing green practices, reducing waste and emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and ensuring safety and security.

Transformation

We successfully coordinated and integrated the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the building systems and services for the new tower. This outcome achieved the project objectives within the budget, schedule, and quality standards. In addition, facility management strategies for the life cycle of the building were developed and embedded in an ongoing process.
