This narrative is submitted in response to Appendix 1 of the Subcontract tender documentation and sets out
[Subcontractor Name]'s detailed understanding of the Subcontract Works for the combined Fit-Out MEP &
Theming package on the SEVEN Discovery 1.5K Al Ahsa project. This is a single, integrated Subcontract covering
both (a) the interior theming, fit-out and attraction decor scope and (b) the final mechanical, electrical and public
health (plumbing) fit-out serving the themed environment. It defines the scope, extent and complexity of the
Works, their integration with the wider project, the interfaces with other trades and stakeholders, and our
understanding of the coordination requirements, constraints, risks and sequencing involved in delivering the
Works. It concludes with our confirmation of compliance with the Contract Documents.
We understand the rationale for combining MEP fit-out and theming under a single Subcontract to be the
exceptionally high degree of physical and visual integration between the two disciplines on this project: because
almost all building services within the guest-facing areas are concealed within, routed through, or directly
embedded in sculpted theming elements, a single point of responsibility for design coordination, containment
routing, fixing and finish quality reduces interface risk between what would otherwise be two separate subcontract
packages.
Our understanding has been developed through a detailed review of the issued design documentation, principally
the 100% Schematic Design – Creative report (Doc Ref. 3HASA13-HASA-04-CUN-TH-DSR-00001, Revision 03)
prepared by Cundall on behalf of SEVEN, with the creative and experience design authored by Thinkwell. We note
that this report is explicitly issued for reference purposes as part of the technical design (TD) package, with the
creative design developed to Schematic Design level only; our approach and pricing basis therefore anticipate
further design development, coordination and technical resolution as the project progresses toward issued-forconstruction (IFC) status, and we have made this assumption clear throughout this submission where relevant.
