The client’s goal was for effective communication with all WPP stakeholders and for SHAPE to call out project bottlenecks and delivery concerns promptly. Communication and coordination were crucial to the successful delivery of this project due to various stakeholders in different cities. To achieve the ideal outcome our team held video conference calls, weekly site visits, discussed samples and shop approvals when the architect flew in from New Zealand. We were also able to hand over the comms room four weeks earlier than expected. This was a fantastic achievement as there was a significant amount of comms (from 15 different companies).
WPP was delighted with the outcome of this project and will use SHAPE for future projects. Our team was able to achieve a Perfect Delivery of this stylish, industrial office space.
“I just want to say that the group running the WPP Campus project, Ben, Bronte and Gus, were so fantastic, so professional and the attention to detail and the quality of the finish is exceptional.”
