First pile driven at FIRST Rotterdam

Monday, December 17, 2012, Alderman Karakus attended as the first foundation pile was driven for the project FIRST Rotterdam located between Weena and Kruisplein.

The building is being erected on the site of the old Building Centre, next to the existing Weenapoint which is undergoing radical renovation. FIRST Rotterdam is a double towered structure of over 120m high, above a wider base building. New offices, restaurants, shops and apartments are being created and part of the complex retains the old, round domed building of the Building Centre, a listed building.

The whole complex is targeted for completion in 2016. IGG Bointon de Groot has been retained for the full costing management for the construction and the tendering procedure.

Construction costs are not yet contracting costs

The manageability of modern building projects is a complex issue. Where on the one hand the quality must be optimized, the budget must at the same time be used as efficiently as possible. After all, a difficult dilemma – cost reduction and quality improvement often seem to get in each other’s way. Both points can nevertheless be combined with good construction cost management.

Every construction project offers a unique set of costs, risks, solutions and opportunities. The aim of building cost management is to map this playing field at the earliest possible stage, so that the project can be optimally managed. The IGG working method has been developed to optimally refine this management – our vision on building cost management gives you the insight you need to successfully complete every construction project.
