The concern
The project risks being ground down between the parties involved.
What we did
Clarify the contractual and fee basis, structure the services, represent the client.
What was the goal?
Visibility restored: who does what, and what is being paid for.
What was the initial situation?
Refurbishments involving several parties lose their overview quickly. Different designers, an existing building that has grown over time, and a design process stalling somewhere along the way: when nobody states clearly who delivers which service and what is being paid for, misunderstandings are inevitable. In this situation you need someone to pull the threads back together.
You turned a diffuse project back into one we can actually steer.
Owners, Zurich region
What have we accomplished?
I restructured the situation. We clarified the contractual and fee basis together, reviewed the existing design work, and distributed the next steps with clear responsibilities. Throughout, I remained available to the building owner in an advisory role so that they could keep an overview at all times.
What was the result?
The refurbishment continued in an orderly way. Who does what, and what is being paid for, became transparent for everyone involved. A diffuse project situation had turned into a clear structure.
