Modernizing a Legacy Building: Complex Renovation for Global Manufacturer in Shanghai
Introduction
A renowned global manufacturing company, with a 36-year history in China as the first wholly foreign-owned enterprise outside the special economic zone, sought Vestian's expertise for a major renovation project. Our long-standing 7-year partnership with the client, spanning multiple projects in Shanghai and Beijing, positioned us to tackle this complex challenge.
Challenge
The client needed to re-stack their entire Shanghai building, which included both labs and office spaces, while upgrading aging MEP systems. The 30-year-old building posed significant challenges due to wear and tear and outdated equipment. The project required careful planning to minimize operational disruptions and adhere to the client's latest design guidelines, all while staying within budget and time constraints.
Solution
Vestian developed a comprehensive, phased approach to address the client's needs. We carefully planned multiple employee migrations to minimize impact on day-to-day operations. Our team successfully navigated the challenges posed by the aging infrastructure, implementing modern solutions that aligned with the client's design guidelines.
We managed the entire project, from planning to execution, ensuring that all renovations and upgrades were completed within the allocated budget and timeframe. Our meticulous attention to safety protocols resulted in zero accidents on site throughout the project duration. By leveraging our extensive experience with the client and our expertise in managing complex renovations, we delivered a modernized, efficient space that met all of the client's requirements. This project further strengthened our long-term partnership and demonstrated Vestian's ability to handle intricate, large-scale renovations in challenging environments.
