Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Mumbai based Premnath & Associates has been chosen prime consultant for taking up the Rs. 50 crore new GHMC’s office-cum-council hall complex to come up over an acre area on the lower Tank Bund Road.
Senior officials said that the agency was short-listed last week from among the four agencies (Stup Consultants (Mumbai), DKC Associates (New Delhi) and DESP Developers (New Delhi) which responded to a tender offer floated by the Municipal Corporation few months ago.
The chosen agency will not only help finalise the tender process for selecting a private contractor for taking up the prestigious project but will also oversee the construction work. Besides, Premnath & Associates will be submitting prospective architectural plan for the proposed 15-storied complex .
The prospective contractor’s building plan will have to be based on the design made by the agency and also stick to the ‘green building’ concept. The agency will be paid Rs. 1.5 crore for their services.
