ABSTRACT
Opus Business Park is a 14,500 m2 office building in eastern Helsinki. The general contractor of the project, NCC Construction Ltd, is one of the largest Nordic construction firms. The Finnish subsidiary of the company uses LBMS in all its projects. Before this case study, the emphasis had been on implementing the planning components of the system. Opus was its first case study for the location-based controlling system and also incorporated locationbased contracts. The developer of the project was part of NCC Construction, and thus an internal client. This meant that time to market was important-earlier completion would provide earlier rental income. A normal contract was signed between the construction and the property development organisations. It was a target price contract with a guaranteed maximum price.
