Despite the multitude of different aspects to this project, Daan Shaaban monitored the expenditure of all of these elements, ranging from the data centre to the solar panels and car park, ensuring that the project stayed within budget. Clear contracts were established for each specialist task and we maintained close oversight of the process to ensure that all parts of the building that required an environmental assessment were up to the required Gold LEED standards.

Overall it is a well laid out commercial development.
