CASE STUDY
2.Wembley National Stadium, UK
Relatively modest cost overrun, but phenomenal legal bills (Source: Hill International)
- Commenced: 2002
- Planned Completion: Early 2006
- Opened: March 2007
- Delay: 1 year
- Planned Cost: £757m
- Final Cost (approx.): £1bn
- Increased cost: 32%
In 2007, the Wembley stadium project in the UK notoriously saw £1m spent on photocopying alone, during a lengthy and complicated dispute relating to issues including the roof design, the famous arch, and ground works. By going to court and winning their claim, the contractor Multiplex lost £2m – a cost that ultimately was blamed for the sale of this previously successful 43-year-old company. At first glance, this might not seem like too much of a failure – with a cost increase of just 32% (in part down to procurement route). But the cost in legal bills was phenomenal – Multiplex’s costs on a sub-trial alone (dealing with only a few of the issues at dispute) were quoted as being £45m.
UK newspaper The Telegraph commented in 2007: “The Wembley hangover has dogged Multiplex and seen the company struggling to restore its reputation just three years after it was listed in Australia.”
