Based on a client recommendation, TSA was engaged at a late project stage to provide client-side design management services for the Alice Springs Plaza Redevelopment. This significant redevelopment will gentrify the existing shopping centre and deliver a new hotel, office space and apartments.

An early development concept was prepared prior to TSA’s engagement; however, it was unclear if the project was to maintain the original concept or re-tender. TSA was tasked with exploring an alternative approach to limit expenditure and maximise the percentage return on investment.  This saw the team coordinate the architect to prepare two alternative options.  TSA presented these options to the client for them to decide, before proceeding to run the design development and planning process to get planning approval.

Our team then prepared the project’s design management program, including the procurement and engagement of consultants and builders. We assisted in the selection of suitable services engineering and planning consultants and organised and lead design meetings. Responsible for the design teams’ progress, TSA actively managed design coordination in accordance with the design management program and project milestones.
