DIMSCALE wins Cost Management contracts for two projects in Sao Tome and Principe

DIMSCALE integrated the work teams of two projects that aim to build two luxury resorts on the island of Principe, located in the archipelago of Sao Tome and Principe. The projects Macaco Resort and Sundy Beach, promoted by HBD (with headquarters in Lisbon), are now nearing completion of the respective architecture and engineering projects. The South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth, founder of HBD, intends to concretize his vision of developing and boosting the local economy in Principe island through a major investment in various hotel units and other projects such as the expansion of the island airport, agricultural research and development, among others, following a policy of sustainable development and preserving the island’s beauty, biodiversity and natural wealth.

DIMSCALE is responsible for the Cost Management of these first two tourism projects, aiming with this work to optimize the invested capital, to control all costs throughout the execution stages and to safeguard the architectural concept and the projects’ final quality. DIMSCALE team was already part of the project management entourage that traveled to Sao Tome and Principe in the month of July with the objective of analyzing the site constraints. In this trip DIMSCALE carried out an exhaustive survey of the logistics conditions verified in the field, one of the factors with greater influence on the cost of projects with these characteristics.

In this particular phase, DIMSCALE is working on both projects through direct contact with HBD, design teams and the various engineering specialties, aiming to review and reconcile all the information and to perform the exhaustive quantification of the two projects, as well as the Procurement of the best suited constructive solutions, taking into account the stipulated objectives.
