KEO as the PMC, worked closely with Qatar Foundation, Weil Cornell Medical School, Hamad Medical Corporation, Sidra Medicine Management, their doctors, and department heads, with the architects, engineers, and specialist consultants from inception of its master plan to handing over. As PMC we were drivers in formulating an agreed program thereafter managing the entire design team, conducting deep dive design reviews until issuance of multiple tender documentation, and coordinating with all stakeholders. KEO’s role continued into construction as Engineer, managing budget, schedule, and quality. Our role included the management of the specialist equipment installation. Finally, KEO continued to support the facility management operations in the handing over of this mega facility, partnering with them in the commissioning of the facility.
