Key Project Details

Project Overview

The renovation of DCI Building at Visakhapatnam Port Authority consisted of converting an already existing office space to become more functional, dependable and efficient in service. The project included both refurbishing and modernizing activities while taking advantage of the existing structure wherever possible.

Multidisciplinary services including civil, architectural, HVAC, plumbing, firefighting, electrical, structural repairs, and retrofitting were provided by Outlook Designheed Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Planning coordination, technical validation, better building services and improved performance were the key points of the project.
