PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES 7.1 The Team Cushman & Wakefield Project & Development Solutions ‘PDS’ have developed a TEAM solution that given the current level of documentation, budget, program and associated authority approvals, best suits the requirements of MEAG for the development of 143 Macquarie Street. Our core TEAM would consist of : Regardless of when these additional consultants are appointed, the C&W PDS team would oversee them and will work collaboratively with the core TEAM (Architect and Engineer and Quantity Surveyor) to develop both the Architectural and Services design to a suitable level that would eliminate a majority of the unknowns and associated program and budget risk. By developing the design documentation in conjunction with a Quantity Surveyor it enables the documentation to be taken to the market for pricing by Head Contractors with a greater level of certainty to both price and program. We spoke to two Head Contractors who stated that they would only be able to provide an estimate of costs as there are too many unknowns associated with the documentation and associated approvals and our methodology is outline in greater details throughout the proposal. And most importantly, with this structure the core TEAM is always acting in the best interests of MEAG and our actions are not clouded by any incentive that the Head Contractor may offer or imply when they are signed up to a price and scope that is controlled and managed by the same people authorising approvals. For example, when variations or additional scope is requested the core Team will validate and test that the scope and associated cost is based on market rates and are not just rubber stamped. Further when materials, pumps, lighting are selected by the Head Contractor the core Team, acting in the MEAG’s best interests, will validate their suitability instead of rubber stamping them.
