""The building follows a very unique structural concept: prefabricated structural members 12 meters in length, through their modular alternation, enabling the building to attain this very.
The future headquarter will have an architectural area of 25,00 m2, and a total built area of around 63,000 m2. In addition to offices, there would be a state of the art conference facility/ multipurpose hall of 300 seating capacity . The total height for the building is 91.5m with three underground basements able to accommodate for around 800 cars.""

now its cancelled coz of high estimated cost :eek2:

Thank good !! This piece of arch is rubbish. But knowing QNB, they'll come up with even a crappier proposal than this one !

Qatar4Ever - skylineBRN - bahrainisprit Hi :o)

at least say hi to me im new here :runaway:

also forgive me for my bad expression, i try my best to write well in english :bash: ,,, graduate from arabian college,, hhh

skyline... cost is one of major criteria in projects, here or there..

the first intial cost estimation was about QR 270 million and after some modification and increasing the area's with inflation/incraesing of materials/labours construction in additioan of complexity of design :cheers: its become more than QR 670 million.

QNB Management start to pre-qualifing the interantional consultant offices and design in progress...

how i cant contact you guys, or this is only forum i can talk with u ?

Offcourse skyline cost is the biggest issue. It always is. Besides this is done by a bank not the govt, regardless if its the national bank or not.

Well I guess an approximate 300% increase in costs is even too much for Qatar!! Oh well this design was a bit far fetched anyway...
