The appointment also involves tasks that span the complete lifecycle of the project, from design through to post-occupancy, making it an attractive initiative for firms seeking long-term involvement in significant cultural projects. Additionally, the emphasis on coordination with diverse technical and consultancy services presents growth prospects for firms looking to deepen their expertise and expand their project portfolios in the public sector.
