The Challenge

IQVIA needed a new home to consolidate their Sydney team. The challenge was delivering this within the restrictions of budget, timelines and IQVIA global standards.

The Right team is all you need!

IQVIA looked to CBRE to meet this challenge. The tight budgets and timeline dictated the design and construct approach however the key was finding a team with a proven track record of delivering. Cachet Group and PGD as the services engineer was the right choice.

A Stress-Free Journey

CBRE set clear milestones and facilitated an open discussion with the IQVIA team. This provided PGD with the forum to develop a clear brief and articulate services solutions that met the intent of IQVIA’s global standards, within the bounds of budget and programme.

Behind the scenes the services design faced challenges of missing base building information, an unfinished make good and equipment lead times. The “PRONAV” unified delivery model, unique to PGD, identified and mitigated these unforeseen risks, reinforcing the trust placed in PGD. This systematic approach ensured IQVIA did not spend a cent more than they needed to.

PGD’s services documentation became the manual for the services contractors to bring the IQVIA fit-out to life. With not a single RFI raised, it was clear PGD hit the mark. The construction phase progressed on time and on budget ensuring a stress-free delivery for the CBRE project management team.

Proud Partners in a Flawless Delivery

Consolidated under a single roof and in the comfort of their new accommodation, the IQVIA Sydney team moved to new chapter inspired to make a difference in the health care industry.

The end result of this proud partnership between CBRE, Cachet Group and PGD was, as Pavel Mikula (CBRE) so eloquently puts it “a flawless delivery”.

Safety first

After the catastrophe in Texas, the BP Kwinana Refinery was one of many aged sites identified for redevelopment as part of proactive measures to avoid similar disasters.

Being Part of Something Bigger

BP on the recommendation of Paul Meschiati & Associates (PMA) engaged PGD as the services engineer. PGD viewed this opportunity as a positive contribution to safety in the workplace.

If we can stop one injury or save one life we have made a difference.

A Partnership of Trust and Dedication

Commencing in 2006 and spanning 10 years PGD in partnership with PMA were key in the delivery of the following facilities at the BP Kwinana Refinery:-

• Administration Building
• Café Building
• Change House Building
• Medical Centre
• Security Office
• Fire Station
• Central Control Building
• Laboratory Building
• Central Server & Communications Room
• Field Off-site Centre

PGD’s dedication to studying BP’s Global Standards, building an intimate knowledge of existing systems and processes, and understanding the needs of various stakeholder groups created a foundation of trust and respect for the PGD team.

Early in the engagement, the smaller project of upgrading the Radio Room facility required the creation of a room with robust facilities. PGD understood the criticality of the room to both the safety and operation of the refinery. Armed with this knowledge PGD presented a strong case for implementation of a redundant UPS system to support the Radio facilities then power by a historical battery system. BP conscious of the cost initially were unconvinced, but within a week the failure of this battery system rendered the radio system inoperative and evacuated the refinery with operational losses in the hundreds of thousands. BP responded, implementing PGD’s proposal. This set the level of trust which continued to build over the next ten years.

PGD’s expertise in critical facilities, management of time-critical shutdowns and dedication to improving safety, ensured BP stakeholders were at ease and stress-free with the knowledge that PGD was their partner in the redevelopment of a safer BP Kwinana Refinery.

The Retail Expansion

Coles answered the call for retail supermarkets across the newly developed northern and southern suburbs of Western Australia. With a new Coles development in Beeliar completed Coles secured a new site in Banksia Grove.

Built on Trust

Having successfully delivered the mechanical services for the Coles Beeliar Development a level of trust was developed that lead to PGD’s engagement for the electrical, mechanical and hydraulic services design for the new Coles Banksia Development.

PGD’s dedication to studying Cole’s National Standards, building an intimate knowledge of existing systems and processes, and understanding the needs of various stakeholder groups created a foundation of trust and respect for the PGD team.

Good design and robust documentation ensured construction remained on budget and on time.

The REVIT Revolution

Coles seeking new avenues to improve the development process looked to utilizing REVIT for the project. PGD in continual coordination with the Taylor Robinson architectural team developed the REVIT model incorporating the services components whilst negotiating services coordination during the design phase for smooth construction phase delivery.

Making a Difference

Opening late 2014, Coles Banksia Grove, created new retail facilities, job opportunities and a social hub for the surrounding community. Creating positive change for the wider community we know we have been part of improving the lives of thousands.

A great client, a focused project team and another amazing Coles development.
