Client Objectives
Parity Consulting, a specialist recruitment firm, had their office lease at Level 2, 37 Bligh Street Sydney, compulsorily acquired by Transport for NSW for the Sydney Metro Project.
Parity Consulting engaged the LPC Advisory team to support them with the claim negotiations, location search and negotiation of their new lease at Level 12, 35 Clarence Street, Sydney.
Pleased with the support offered by the Advisory team, Parity Consulting then engaged LPC Project Services to manage the fitout delivery of the new office space.
Parity Consulting could depend on LPC’s Project Services team to guide them through making decisions for their new fit-out based on their knowledge of best practices and Parity’s unique business requirements. LPC Project Services managed the office fit-out from beginning to end so that Parity Consulting could stay focused on business as usual.
Results
The initial offer from Sydney Metro was substantially lower than the forecasted cost of the fit-out and relocation. Therefore, LPC Project Services’ role in the early parts of Parity Consulting’s relocation, was to provide cost planning and quotations for the office fit-out that would prove the veracity of their claim with Sydney Metro and support their negotiations. Due to the accuracy of our cost planning, there was no discrepancy when we went to market for building quotations.
Managing the design, authority approvals, and build of a fit-out is incredibly time-consuming and can be disruptive to a business. LPC Project Services removed this hassle and used our experience to deliver a fit-out that meets the business requirements now and in the future.
Having the kitchen and breakout in front of the house was a paradigm shift, with the intention that it become a social hub for staff, clients, and candidates. Parity Consulting invested in sit-to-stand desks and breakout furniture settings so that staff could move around the office and choose where to work. The project was delivered on time, within budget, and met the brief.
