Working with Tesco on this significant project is an excellent example of how the firm delivers complex multidisciplinary solutions by taking an efficient and simple approach for the client. This involves appointing a project coordinator as a single point of contact for the client who manages the multiple services and stakeholders required for the smooth delivery of each project.

Project challenges

Consistency

Tesco has ambitious plans for the development of numerous stores nationwide over a long period of time. A key objective for the ORS Project Management Team is to successfully support Tesco in achieving this ambition and maintain consistency of service.

To deliver Tesco’s growth plans, ORS filled several key roles to ensure a continuity of service and knowledge retention over the coming years. The ORS Project Management Team coordinates the management of the various service lines and other external design team members. This control and centralisation of the design team allow for ease of communication and tighter cost controls, providing excellent service delivery to the client.

ORS has committed to a CPD Programme with the client, providing continuous CPD training and lessons-learned sessions. This supports the ongoing improvement of efficiencies on a project of this scale and duration. The result is the delivery of a consistently high-quality service and client experience.
