Opportunities
Bilfinger ROB was situated with their operation on several locations in the Antwerp region. Most building were outdated. This facility set-up was no longer considered to be optimal.

Based on input out of a questionnaire and workshops/interviews Groenewout developed the following:

• Program of Requirement for new facility and offices
• Lay-out plans for new location
• Capex and Opex estimates including cash flow effects for current and new situation
• Advice on real estate ownership alternatives.

Benefits

• Business case conclusions available within a short time frame (lead time 4 weeks)
