The Project

The RAK Academy Khuzam refurbishment transformed an existing school into a modern, flexible learning environment while allowing the campus to remain fully operational throughout construction. Covering more than 226,000 sq. ft., the project included the refurbishment of the reception, café, library, classrooms, restrooms and circulation spaces, together with the renovation of the existing swimming pool and construction of a new pool. The design, developed from Marjan Design Lab’s concept, reconfigured underused areas to create open learning spaces that encourage collaboration and better support contemporary teaching methods.

Our Appointment

PMKConsult was appointed as Lead Design Consultant and Project and Cost Management Consultant, providing design management, commercial oversight and stakeholder coordination from the earliest stages of the project. Working closely with Marjan, Marjan Design Lab, BDP and Havelock One Interiors, our team managed design development, aligned stakeholders and led value engineering workshops that reduced the initial project cost by 31 per cent while protecting the agreed design vision. Following the appointment of Havelock One Interiors as the design and build contractor, PMKConsult’s role expanded to include project management, commercial management, site supervision and architect of record services. We coordinated the design team, managed programme and commercial performance, and oversaw delivery through to completion, ensuring quality, cost and programme objectives were achieved throughout every stage of the project.

The Benefit

Delivering a refurbishment of this scale within a live school environment required careful planning, close collaboration and a disciplined approach to delivery. PMKConsult worked alongside the client, school leadership, consultants and contractor to phase the works, maintain rigorous health and safety standards and minimise disruption to students and staff. The completed campus provides flexible learning environments that better support collaboration, wellbeing and contemporary teaching practices. Through proactive commercial management, effective stakeholder coordination and strong project leadership, the project was delivered on programme and within budget while allowing the school to remain fully operational throughout the works.
