Commercial

Johnstaff is recognised as a leading provider of professional consulting and construction services to the property sector in Australia and New Zealand and our systems have been tailored to respond to the unique needs of large and complex projects. Some of the issues that these projects face include:

• maintaining teams over extended durations
• complex approval pathways to maximise opportunities
• interfaces with transport infrastructure
• noise and access constraints in CBDs
• maintaining operations in live environments, and
• managing projects with multiple stages.

Our team of specialists have considerable experience with Commercial projects, having been involved in over one million sqm of prime grade office space across all major CBDs over the last 20 years.

Our specialist Commercial teams offer an unparalleled blend of expertise, innovation, energy and commitment based on their experience, that includes:

• negotiating development and lease agreements
• developing project briefs and programmes
• developing risk and procurement strategies
• engaging consultants and managing the design process
• providing strategic value engineering advice
• tendering and negotiating construction services
• managing the construction process and monitoring time, cost, quality and safety
• managing and co-ordinating tenants, and
• managing the completion and commissioning process.

We have gained expertise working with a variety of clients, maximising project outcomes and working collaboratively to achieve development results and tenant experiences.

Johnstaff appreciates the detail required to create outstanding Commercial assets. We know how to secure and integrate tenants, and understand that the developments we are involved in must present value for various project stakeholders.

We are confident of our team’s contribution to the success of a project by our approach to managing quality throughout all stages, from project initiation through to final handover.

We are excited to share experiences and lessons in areas that can add value to our clients, including:

• instigating initiatives to enhance tenant experience and developing procurement strategies to minimise developer risk
• developing alternate tenant fit-out pathways that align with leasing strategies, including integrated and non-integrated fit-out options
• establishing early access options in AFL and D&C agreements
• identifying penalty / bonus regimes for NLA, Early Access and maximising envelopes and increasing GFA
• developing staging strategies to allow phased completion of the building, and
• aligning AFL and D&C obligations and identifying future proofing opportunities to align with leasing strategies.
