Case Study: Abbott Laboratories achieves accurate cost control and on-budget delivery with Cleopatra

How Cleopatra Enterprise boosted all cost control activities for the various disciplines of Abbot

Abbott Laboratories, a major global healthcare company, faced the challenge of managing the costs for the construction of two factories and a laboratory in the Netherlands. They engaged vendor Cleopatra Enterprise to serve as an independent party to validate engineering documents and ensure the project's financial soundness from the outset.

Cleopatra implemented a comprehensive solution, beginning with a rigorous estimate validation that identified unaccounted risks and potential cost overruns. Their services expanded to include full cost control, tender management, and providing constructability advice throughout the project's execution. The project was delivered on time and on budget, a result Abbott noted is exceptional. Furthermore, Cleopatra's proactive suggestions led to significantly lower future maintenance costs, providing long-term value beyond the initial construction.
