The Shanghai International Trade Center (Shanghai ITC) has four relatively independent lots in different stages of construction. For the successful delivery of the project, integration of all the contractors is key. Additional challenges for cost control are created by the extended construction timeframe, fluctuations in the cost of materials, and regulatory changes.
This was a massive project, and Arcadis provided numerous estimates, advising Sun Hung Kai Properties on design options and construction methods. In the tendering stage, Arcadis drew up the bid documents, setting clear initial boundaries to avoid future discrepancies and ambiguity. Arcadis also managed change orders and claims in consultation with the contractors, effectively building a complete front-to-end construction cost control process for this mega project.
The Xujiahui International Trade Center
Completed in 2023, the Shanghai ITC project has become a valuable addition to the growing ecosystem of the Xujiahui commercial district, adding commercial and employment opportunities for residents, and the environmentally friendly buildings are realized under the sustainable LEED Gold Standard. The project allows for direct access to the Xujiahui Metro Station, which serves as an interchange station for three separate lines. This makes travel to and from the location convenient, without adding to urban congestion. A network of elevated footbridges connects the Shanghai International Trade Center with adjacent commercial and heritage sites, ensuring easy pedestrian access and safety. The project makes lives better for all residents and visitors to Xujiahui.
This project will define what ‘smart green technology’ entails and incorporates a broad roadmap to guide practitioners in the market transformation to become smarter and greener.
