Pfizer Global Research and Development - Building 8

Pfizer retained PMA in December of 2001 to manage the programming, design, construction, and occupancy of 50,000 square feet of tenant improvements including the mechanical system central plant. Pfizer targeted a move-in milestone of June 2002 that integrated with the rapidly expanding La Jolla campus. PMA interfaced with the end users and other project stakeholders, and in conjunction with the architect, quickly developed and approved a program that achieved Pfizer’s design criteria. The construction documents were divided into three separate permit packages resulting in early permit delivery and phased construction. PMA managed the incremental procurement process, negotiated the General Contractor Agreement, and managed all contractor change orders. PMA also managed the procurement, delivery, and installation of all audio-visual, access control, security, voice/data, and furniture installations for a complete turnkey delivery prior to move-in.

As Tenant Representative, PMA acted as the single source contact for the internal Pfizer stakeholders, the A/E Team, the construction team, and for the vendors directly retained by Pfizer. PMA ensured the inter-coordination between each of these entities, escalated significant issues and provided recommendations as Pfizer’s advocate. PMA also managed the budget and overall project schedule to meet Pfizer’s move-in goals and objectives. The project included a lobby secured by a 20-foot high custom glass wall, ornamental central staircase, teleconference equipped training rooms, hardware lab, meeting rooms, and lunch facilities.
