Challenge

The Science Museum set out to create a permanent gallery dedicated to showcasing the vital role of technicians across science, health, manufacturing, media and beyond. Housed within a listed building and delivered within a live museum environment, the project demanded careful coordination between base build works and an interactive, technology-rich fit-out. Budget constraints and evolving design requirements added complexity to the delivery of this high-profile, education-focused space.

Solution

G&T provided Cost Management services throughout the project, supporting the Science Museum Group in achieving value for money while maintaining the creative ambition of the gallery. We worked closely with the client, design team and specialist contractors to provide detailed cost planning, procurement advice and financial reporting across both construction and exhibition elements. Our rigorous approach ensured cost control and enabled informed decisions as the design evolved, helping to manage risk while protecting quality.

Outcome

The David Sainsbury Gallery successfully delivers an inspiring and interactive visitor experience that highlights the essential contribution of technicians to modern life. G&T’s cost management expertise ensured that the gallery was delivered within budget without compromising on design or content. The project supports the museum’s wider mission to engage and educate, with financial certainty underpinning its successful delivery.
