Fit-Out Execution

Project-specific approaches based on size and complexity.

Fit-out Procurement Models

Our Fit-Out process encompasses a number of different milestones leading from the completion of the real estate and transactions stage through to the delivery of the final workplace. A key starting point is the design journey, after the procurement model for the project is determined and finalised.

Three procurement models recommended- based on project objectives and research, corresponding to the complexity and scope of the project. The models will simplify the procurement process, enable a high level of design quality and execution, while ensuring cost certainty.

Design & Build with Concept Designer

Recommended for full scope fit out or significant refurbishment projects of 500sqm to 2000sqm in size, and in locations with limited design resources.

Traditional

Recommended for more complex full scope fit out or refurbishment projects, particularly those of over 2000sqm in extent.

Design & Build

Recommended for projects of low complexity that are under 500sqm in size, of limited scope, and have accessible local design resources.

Design Sign-off

There are 3 key Roche Design Stages and it is the responsibility of the TPM to coordinate the Roche design approval with the appointed designer/s. The TPM will organise regular Design Team Meetings and Presentations for Milestone
Deliverables to receive input & endorsement from the global Corporate Architecture team and local stakeholders. These Phases include the following:

  • Layout and Concept Design Stage
  • Schematic Design Stage
  • Detailed Design Stage

Based on the above 3 design phases, Roche have developed a Scope of Work defining the Roles of the Designer & D&B Contractor

  • Single Stage D&B Procurement: SOW
  • Design & Build with Concept Designer Procurement: Concept Designer SOW and D&B SOW
  • Traditional Procurement Model: Project Designer SOW
