‘Rebbeck Dunn Watters (RDW) was appointed by Mercury to assist in securing new office premises to consolidate four offices into one. The scope of that contract included providing industry guidance on commercial and contractual negotiations, initial budget scoping and general project management. It resulted in the confirmation of our new site and Development Agreement with Mansons TCLM Ltd.

RDW’s guidance in the appointment of the wider Mercury consulting team was critical and contributed to the success of the project. The scope was defined in the project, but on many occasions, RDW went above and beyond that scope to progress the project. Their broad expertise allowed the early identification and subsequent resolution of issues as they arose.

Our business does not have particular expertise in commercial property, and RDW very capably filled that gap and provided sound professional advice to Mercury throughout. The project was completed on time, within 5% of the budget and at a level of quality that has been achieving high praise, including a nomination for the Interior Awards.
