Our company OM Consulting was responsible for obtaining the building permit – engineering, project management during the preparatory phase and implementation, quality management (technical supervision of the investor) and price management.
The team worked under the leadership of experienced project manager Ing. Vojtěch Jeníš.
In addition, the premium office building has been awarded a BREEAM green certificate, in the Excellent standard. The certificate confirms the sustainability of the building – both during the construction phase and during its operation.
The OM Consulting team, in its role as project manager , helped to find cost-saving solutions, for example, when working on the documentation for the construction, either by selecting appropriate procedures or by selecting products that meet the certification requirements. Proper disposal of waste or site equipment was also important during construction.
For the operational phase of the building, water management, energy savings (e.g. LED lighting or meeting stricter energy performance parameters for built-in technical equipment) and a number of other criteria play a role.
