The Project

In 2020 the UAE and France agreed a 10-year bilateral roadmap aimed at strengthening relationships between the two countries. Strengthening ties in the education sector was a key component of that roadmap. Ecole42 is a French curriculum-based coding school that was announced as a key project in Abu Dhabi that would support this strategic international alliance. A new build facility in the Mina Port area of the city, this 2,400 sqm GFA facility provides access to 250+ computers for all members of the public to learn a new skillset. The project consists of the demolition of three warehouses, site clearance, and the construction of a completely new building.

Our Appointment

As one of ADEK’s trusted advisors, we were appointed as project, commercial and design management consultants in Q1 2020. Appointed prior to contractor procurement process, we successfully negotiated a design and build contract within extremely tight programme constraints. The project was delivered on time and within the client’s budget. This is another appointment by ADEK in the past months that highlights the ongoing benefits of strategic partnerships between consultant and client teams.

The Benefit

Appointed at a critical stage of the procurement process, we assisted the ADEK procurement team to finalise the strategy for contractor procurement. This resulted in a design and build procurement process, vastly different to the original plan by ADEK. We were able to manage this solution given our in-house expertise in project, commercial and design management, providing a single solution for our client. Given our technical expertise and knowledge of education projects, the team was able to ‘hit the ground running’ and deliver against the critical requirements, namely an accelerated programme in getting site activity started.
