Balancing act Vogel Centre - refurbishment consultancy by Rider Levett Bucknall

As anyone who has ever built their own home can attest, maintaining control of all facets of the budget can be a huge task. In the case of a commercial build, this responsibility is amplified, and requires a high level of expertise.

"For the Vogel Centre project, Rider Levett Bucknall provided full precontract feasibility and cost estimate advice, negotiated design and build fixed prices with Mainzeal Construction on each stage, and provided cost audit services during each stage over the full four-year construction period," says managing director, Tony Sutherland.

Delivered in three stages, the project required a seamless transition between each one to ensure an on-time, on-budget outcome.

"The result is a development that has fully transformed an existing building into a modern state-of-the-art office integrated and physically joined to a new office building to provide large floor plate spaces to fulfil tenant requirements."
