Global Life Sciences client, UK

Linesight is providing Cost Management, Scheduling and Project Controls services for a laboratory and office facility expansion for a global Life Sciences client based in the UK. The expansion will help address laboratory and office constraints in the current facility.

The facility includes a two-storey 3,200 sq.m laboratory and office building based on the client’s workplace playbook. Sustainability is a key factor in the delivery of this programme and is targetting a BREEAM and Leed Platinum Certification for energy and sustainability.  

Value Add 

Linesight assisted the client’s project manager and was instrumental in safeguarding their commercial interests from the initiation stage of building up cost estimates up to project execution and close-out. In addition, we also carried out the following: 

• Our team tracked the progress of design, procurement and construction works effectively, to provide the client with live and accurate data on upcoming decision deadlines, with recommendations on the associated risks/rewards relating to those decisions.
• This approach helped to mitigate procurement delays of long lead items, as well as costs associated with re-work as a result of the evolving design.This approach helped to mitigate procurement delays of long lead items, as well as costs associated with re-work as a result of the evolving design.
• Effective change control strategies were used to monitor and report on the performance of the contractor’s resources and construction schedule enabling the team to track slippages and develop mitigation plans.
