The Ministry of Finance
•Building dated 1975,
•66.000 m2 & 1400 persons
Challenges:
Improve cooperation and communication within the department
Indoor air quality
Support organisational changes
Housing more employees
Options: demolish & rebuild or renovate
Either way: no luxuries!
Contract: traditional or life cycle contract
Life cycle contract: DBFMO
DBFMO = Design Build Finance Maintain and Operate
•‘Life cycle’ (or chain) approach
•Long term contract
•Only 1 contractor: a consortium subcontractors / shareholders
•Total package = 1 service
•Payment when the service is delivered (housing)
•Object remains property of the public entity
Better track record on:
-Costs (within budget or below)
-Time (delivered on time or even before)
-Quality (incentives to innovate, creativity in the design proces)
