Modern industrial architecture at the Audi site in Györ<br />

major construction site with many<br />

subprojects<br />

It was not only the sheer size that made<br />

the new plant a challenge to the project<br />

management team. Competing with<br />

other modern factories in Europe,<br />

Audi shifted into top gear and set a very<br />

ambitious deadline for the start of<br />

production: May 2013. <strong>Drees</strong> & <strong>Sommer</strong><br />

was responsible for overall coordination<br />

and helped to ensure that this deadline<br />

was met. This included assessing all<br />

interdependencies between buildings,<br />

plant and later operation to allow early<br />

detection and initiation of countermeasures<br />

in the event of any deviations.<br />

As part of the project management role,<br />

<strong>Drees</strong> & <strong>Sommer</strong> coordinated the parallel<br />

planning and implementation of subprojects,<br />

for each of which different<br />

designers were commissioned. To<br />

guarantee flexibility and cost-effectiveness,<br />

the team managed the individual<br />

contract awards for the various trades<br />

for all buildings. During the course of the<br />

project, over 100 contracts were signed<br />

with contract management support from<br />

<strong>Drees</strong> & <strong>Sommer</strong>.<br />

Project management also included<br />

management of all infrastructure projects<br />

on the site – roads, paths, parking areas,<br />

railway tracks, utilities infrastructure,<br />

perimeter fencing including the guardhouses,<br />

a fuel station, a well house,<br />

and the test track.<br />

ellipse experience<br />

Ten months after the laying of the<br />

foundation stone, the Lord of the Four<br />

Rings celebrated the topping-out<br />

ceremony in May <strong>2012</strong>. And right on<br />

schedule, 12 months later, the high-tech<br />

equipment was set in motion to<br />

produce new models. <strong>Drees</strong> & <strong>Sommer</strong>‘s<br />

experience with similar projects ensured<br />

realization of the plant in Hungary for<br />

Audi – on schedule and within budget.<br />
