The brief

A tower its buyers expect on the promised date.

Oasiz 1 is a B+G+4P+32 residential tower with shops at its base, sold to buyers who expect handover on the date they were promised. Danube Properties appointed AZEMCO for the complete MEP works, with Autobuild Contracting as main contractor and Al Majal / ElectroWatt as consultant.

What the client needed
  • The complete MEP, from the basement to the roof plant
  • Services installed close behind the structure, floor by floor
  • Homes and shops served by systems the building can run and maintain
The challenges

What made it hard.

  1. 01

    Services that keep pace with the frame

    The structure rises a floor at a time. If the services fall behind, the finishes and the handover fall behind with them.

  2. 02

    Many apartments, one standard

    Every apartment has to be installed the same way, to the same standard, by teams working on several floors at once.

  3. 03

    Homes and shops in one building

    Shops at the base and homes above need their own supplies, metering and fire protection, while sharing one building’s plant.

How we solved them

What we did about each one.

  1. Challenge 01Services that keep pace with the frame
    Our response

    A floor cycle for the services

    Our installation teams follow the structure in a set floor cycle, first fix, inspection, then the next floor, so the services never hold up the finishes.

  2. Challenge 02Many apartments, one standard
    Our response

    A mock-up apartment first

    A full mock-up apartment settles every detail before the rollout, so each floor repeats an approved standard.

  3. Challenge 03Homes and shops in one building
    Our response

    Shared plant, separate services

    We coordinate the retail and residential services in one model with the consultant, with separate supplies and metering where each needs its own.

How the work ran

From the first drawing to the floors on site today.

  1. 01CoordinationServices coordinated with the consultant and the structure in one model.
  2. 02Mock-upA full apartment installed and approved before the rollout.
  3. 03Floor cycleFirst fix floor by floor behind the structure, inspected before it is closed.
  4. 04Plant and risersPlant rooms, risers and the roof plant installed.
  5. 05Testing and handoverSystems tested floor by floor, then together, before handover.
