Overhoeks tower gets new name

The famous Overhoeks tower, previously the Shell HQ building in Amsterdam Noord is has a new name which was announced at a launching party by Sander, the creator of the new concept.

The tower will be called A’DAM which stands for Amsterdam Dance and Music. This conversion of the original office block has been very imaginatively crafted creating hotel, office, retail, night clubs, dance school and studios plus visitors viewing platform and several eateries.

Barack Obama visits the Rijksmuseum, thanks to IGG !!

Have you seen it ?
So has Barack Obama , President of the United States of America who appreciated the newly opened Rijksmuseum aided by the budgetary control of IGG.

In 2002 IGG was commissioned by Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos , of Hoogevest Architects, Arcadis and Rijksgebouwendienst for the construction cost management for the conversion, refurbishment and extension of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Changes to the scope of works and other factors extended the project delaying reopening until 2013,  but some things are worth waiting for!

IGG has an excellent track record of involvement in museums and art galleries so their selection was no surprise. IGG has been concerned with other such establishments over many years calling upon their expertise in cost management for extensions and restorations such as;
– Naturalis in Leiden
– Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam
– Pont Museum in Tilburg
– Gemeentemuseum in The Hague
– Rijksmuseum Schiphol
– Meermanno Museum in The Hague
– Collection Building Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam
– Las Palmas in Rotterdam
– The Dolhuys in Haarlem
– Archive Zeeland Middelburg
– Photo Museum Amsterdam
– City Museum Rotterdam
You see , if you wish to receive a prominent visitor in your museum we recommend having IGG undertake the construction cost management for the restoration and expansion of your museum!

 

First pile driven at FIRST Rotterdam

Monday, December 17, 2012, Alderman Karakus attended as the first foundation pile was driven for the project FIRST Rotterdam located between Weena and Kruisplein.

The building is being erected on the site of the old Building Centre, next to the existing Weenapoint which is undergoing radical renovation. FIRST Rotterdam is a double towered structure of over 120m high, above a wider base building. New offices, restaurants, shops and apartments are being created and part of the complex retains the old, round domed building of the Building Centre, a listed building.

The whole complex is targeted for completion in 2016. IGG Bointon de Groot has been retained for the full costing management for the construction and the tendering procedure.
