Following that, AMA Projects was engaged by DFAT to provide 4 months Project Management Services in Tokyo that included on-site management and coordination of the Head Works Contractor and all Sub-Contractors to complete a secure office fit-out taking place over two stages.

• Stage 1 required replacement of all M+E services, construction of new walls and partitions, as well as a general office fitout including meeting rooms, breakout spaces and a kitchenette.
• Stage 2 was a considered a ‘light touch refurbishment’ and required the demolition of walls and construction of new walls, a fresh coat of paint throughout as well as a general refresh of joinery and furniture and workstations. New services to the existing building was also required during stage 2 and there was a heavy electrical, mechanical and comms scope to the project.
