Formis appointed us not to build — but to control. They had already procured three specialist contractors for their Berlin office refurbishment: a fit-out contractor, a specialist AV integrator, and a dedicated data infrastructure team. What they lacked was a single point of accountability to hold all three to programme, manage the interface between trades, and protect the go-live date that their board had publicly committed to. We stepped in as independent project manager four weeks after works had started, immediately establishing a unified programme, a shared site protocol, and a weekly reporting structure that went directly to the CFO. We recovered a three-week delay in the first six weeks and handed the project back to the client on the original completion date. No claims. No disputes. No missed deadline.
