Case Study: Project Office Space
In the UK, Skanska Infrastructure Development provides investment capital and development support for PFI projects. This service involves both its Skanska sister companies and consortium partners. In this marketplace public services are becoming more and more reliant on private sector expertise and investment. Skanska's financial resources and investment expertise are well placed to meet the clients' needs.
Skanska Infrastructure Development and Skanska UK work hand in hand to create, manage and invest in UK PFI/PPP schemes in the current joint focus areas of Healthcare, Defence, Education and Transportation sectors. Skanska's capacity to invest in the PFI/PPP schemes it designs and builds is important in othe company's philosophy of offering clients a unique "Skanska Solution". The Skanska Solution is an integrated team undertaking investment, design, construction, operation and hard facilities services. It's not simply design and build services.
"Skanska looks to set up project offices within the Borough Councils in which it bids for work. This affords their project teams, (development, construction, architects, co-investors, financial backers etc) a dedicated office space to meet up, prior to and after client meetings, as well as portraying an integrated and dedicated team, fully embedded within the client's locality".
"A number of office options were made available to us very quickly. After selecting our preferred office options based on location, services offered, size, price and contract details, we inspected and selected our favourite office. Contracts were then exchanged and we moved in. The solutions Easy Offices found for us were very suitable".
