Really Useful Group
Covent Garden

Background

An existing client introduced Route One to Andrew Lloyd Webber's ‘The Really Useful Group Limited’, who required advice in respect of an office relocation and fit out. Following a successful pitch, Route One was appointed as Project Managers in respect of the new fit out across 8,000 sq ft of offices in Covent Garden.

Challenges

The key challenge of this project was managing late variations to the works which could not be allowed to impact on design, budget or programme. At each step Route One was required to co-ordinate between the incumbent designer and contractor to ensure variations to the initial specification did not detract from the initial design concept.

Outcome

RUG's new office environment is very different to that of the former premises. Feedback is extremely positive and staff are embracing the change. The project was delivered on time and on budget, and through focused management of the project, Route One have been able to present the client with a workspace which exceeds expectations.

The fact that the instruction came via an introduction from an existing client is particularly pleasing.
