As the project took place in a live hospital setting, careful planning was needed to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing services. Key phases included:
- Demolition and Strip Out: Executed with precision to accommodate the sensitive hospital operations surrounding the construction zone.
- M&E Overhaul: Integrated a comprehensive M&E fit-out, adapting to the evolving project scope and incorporating new AHUs for improved air quality.
- Construction of New Partitions: Created new functional spaces while adhering to rigorous healthcare construction standards.
- Service Relocation and Diversion: Skillfully relocated and diverted existing services to align with the new layout and design requirements.
Challenges addressed included adverse weather conditions and an initial start based on rudimentary drawings rather than a full design. Changes in project scope introduced by the client necessitated on-the-fly adjustments, particularly in relation to M&E service diversions.
