Cost certainty on a landmark Wuhan skyscraper

Currie & Brown provided full cost consultancy on this high-profile project. The scale and design presented unique challenges. The curved façade and constrained site meant that every decision carried weight.

We worked with the project team to integrate cost control into each stage of design and construction. That started with the foundations, where we accounted for specialist processes like a soil mixing wall system. It continued through to advanced systems for building information management and air conditioning.

• Applied value engineering to the tower’s core structures, balancing concrete and reinforcement to reach the optimum solution.
• Helped the client achieve LEED Gold by keeping sustainability features within budget.
• Guided the selection of curtain walling and external LED façade lighting, ensuring quality and value for money.

By combining technical rigour with innovative cost management, we gave the client confidence to deliver one of China’s most ambitious skyscrapers.
