about the project
The Orangerie
Orangerie is an old industrial hall turned into an administrative building in Seraing. The complex, including the said building and the adjacent castle, can accommodate more than 600 people and offers all the facilities you could expected from an international company headquarters: reception, meeting rooms, auditorium, company restaurant, etc.
Like its building architectural design, the project aims to create an environment and work practices that encourage the development of knowledge while keeping the industrial heritage alive.
getting to understand the client’s needs
Short deadline and fast integration
What characterized this project was the short deadline between the making of the last remarks and the delivery to the client. As a Project manager, Guillaume and his team only had 4 days to complete the remarks and send them to the subcontractors so that they could realize the last corrections. Guillaume says that this would not have been possible using the classical method of working with pen and paper.
- Short deadlines
- In need of a fast response form subcontractors
