Project:
Shanghai Office Relocation

Commercial Imperative Given the organic growth and planned co-location of entities, Procter & Gamble needed a new location that can house the organisation, together with future growth in a vibrant and business focused environment. New initiatives with more technological consideration as well as Agile workspace were taken in as part of project success criteria. There is also an urgency, given the collaboration with local authority, to design and build and relocate the whole organisation within 6 months period.

Our Role We were engaged as in-house extended resource (client rep) to provide an end-to-end approach for the whole project. Scope included working with P&G’s real estate arm and finance resources in terms of site selection and financial analysis; leading the technical due diligence, design and execution of the project construction works; assist and coordinate the relocation and start up of the new site as well as reinstatement of the old site. Coupled with regular reporting to project board in terms of project progress.

The Result Following an effective exercise, Johnson Controls was selected as the facilities management supplier for DKU, with emphasis on individual and local services with an international standard of management as the reporting layer- the best of both worlds: locally run, internationally managed.
