ABSTRACT

The Broadgate project is a major commercial development of over 500 000 square metres of office space built to shell and core standards which is either left to the tenants to fit out or is finished to a basic specification. The space is divided into 14 separate buildings which have been constructed over the period 1986 to 1991. At the peak 6 buildings were being constructed simultaneously. The client, Rosehaugh Stanhope Developments PLC (RSD), has taken direct control of the construction of the project by using professional construction management and it is the development of the management structure of the project that is considered here.
