SENIOR LIVING BRAND AND CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD

A leading senior living brand under an Indian conglomerate sought to expand its footprint in Noida by developing a flagship senior living community. The project demanded adherence to exacting standards of safety, wellness, and luxury tailored to India’s aging population. The client’s vision required not only a suitable land parcel but also a delivery partner who could ensure the project’s technical, financial, and operational success across all phases; from early design refinement to final handover.

The project involved designing a technically advanced senior living facility with integrated architectural, structural, and MEP systems, while managing costs through value engineering, engaging specialized contractors via transparent tendering, ensuring smooth and high-quality construction progress, and coordinating a seamless post-construction handover for operational readiness.

While working on the project, the team faced several complexities - The project journey involved strategic value engineering during pre-construction to align costs with the client’s premium vision, careful stakeholder management during tendering, seamless coordination across architectural and engineering disciplines to avoid delays, vigilant oversight during construction to maintain quality and timelines, and a final handover that ensured full compliance and operational readiness for a senior care facility. Cushman & Wakefield embraced a proactive and comprehensive role, implementing robust processes to manage risks and optimize outcomes.

The project management consultants implemented a structured approach to manage the project lifecycle:

Pre-Construction

• Reviewed designs and systems to find cost-effective alternatives without compromising quality.
• Managed detailed documentation, competitive bidding, and contractor selection to ensure transparency and value.
• Aligned architectural, structural, and MEP teams to resolve design clashes early and reduce rework.

Construction Phase

• Actively tracked construction progress against schedules and budgets.
• Managed contractors, safety compliance, quality of materials and workmanship.
• Conducted regular site reviews to catch and resolve issues early.

Post-Construction

• Conducted thorough quality audits and snagging to meet client and regulatory standards.
• Managed final documentation, including compliance certificates and as-built drawings.
• Supported operational handover to ensure readiness for occupancy and community management.

• Delivered significant cost savings through value engineering without sacrificing the client’s design vision or functionality.
• Secured a competitive tender process that onboarded capable contractors aligned with project complexity.
• Maintained strict control over construction quality, timelines, and costs despite market challenges and technical complexity.
• Ensured a seamless post-construction handover enabling the senior living brand to commence operations on schedule and at the desired quality level.
• Created a replicable delivery framework tailored to the senior living sector for future projects.
