DCE’s experienced project management team coordinated various aspects of the build, from site preparation and structural works to the installation of services and final fit-out, ensuring that the project was completed on time and within budget.

Sustainability was a key consideration throughout the project. DCE implemented environmentally responsible construction practices, including efficient waste management, energy-efficient lighting systems, and the use of sustainable building materials.
