Background

Siemens is working with Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) on the Kochi Metro project. To support this work, the team required a commercial office space in Kochi.

The client approached IR Realtors with a defined set of requirements for the space, all of which needed to be met.

Our approach

We reviewed the client's requirements in detail and used them as the basis for the search. We then identified a number of locations in Kochi and assessed each one against these requirements.

For every option, we prepared the relevant details, including the space, its location and how it compared with the other options under consideration. Where a location raised concerns that could affect the client in the longer term, we advised against it.

Process
  1. 01

    Requirement

    Understanding the client's requirements for the office.

  2. 02

    Search

    Identifying and assessing suitable locations across Kochi.

  3. 03

    Presentations

    Presenting the options and reviewing them with the client.

  4. 04

    Selection

    Finalising the space and negotiating terms on the client's behalf.

Presentations and review

The shortlisted options were presented to the client over several presentations and review meetings. Each review helped the client refine their requirements and narrow down the list.

We updated the information on each option as discussions progressed, so that the client could compare all options on a consistent basis.

IR Realtors supported the client throughout, from the initial requirement to the final selection.
