Overview

KAM were originally appointed to support in the development of a fit out, plus support in negotiations for a developer led 600,000 sq ft base build. Following the completion of the base build, KAM led the fit work programme.

Two years after completion of the original fit out, KAM were appointed to lead the delivery of an extra 400,000 sq ft of multi-level mezzanines and a rack supported structure. This was delivered in various phases within the existing live building. Throughout, this included managing the interface between the automation and the building.

Following this, KAM then commenced the management of a further 350,000 sq ft of mezzanine floors. Once again, all of the works were undertaken around the 24/7 operation, but there was a greater emphasis on phasing with less space. KAM led the creation of the scope of works, with JD and the automation contractor. In parallel with this, the development of a complex fast-track programme with a focus on maintaining the day-to-day operations of the DC.  

Two years later, KAM were appointed to support on negotiations with the developer on a 350,000 sq ft extension to the existing building. As before, this involved leading the team on managing the automation interface with the building and negotiating enhancements to the base build. Once the developer handed the extension across to JD, KAM lead the installation of further fit-out works, including working with the automation contactor.
