PICK ‘N PAY DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE, JOHANNESBURG
Pick n Pay is the largest food retailer in South Africa.
Betts Townsend’s comprehensive knowledge and unmatched Retail experience in
both FOH and BOH were appointed to construct the new Longmeadow extension to cater for the national upsizing.
Not only was Betts Townsend appointed in a Project Management capacity but
Pick ‘n Pay’s decision was one of a risk sharing and trust approach whereby Betts
Townsend were further appointed in a Construction Management capacity.
The project brief was to extend the existing Distribution facility to accommodate an additional 34 000m² of Warehouse space.
The initial target programme was programmed over a 12 month period. Betts
Townsend’s construction management team delivered the project in under 9
months with a 6.5% saving on traditional programme and construction cost.
Added to the Warehouse extension, Betts Townsend were charged with additions and alterations to the existing Administration facility delivered and completed in the 1st quarter of 2010.
The Pick n Pay Longmeadow Distribution Centre stands as a prime example that
in sensitive yield driven times a joint PM / CM approach can be beneficial to the
client in both time and budget.
