Nottingham-based Pulse supports completion of landmark V&A East Museum

Nottingham-based Pulse Consult has supported the delivery of V&A East Museum at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with the attraction now complete.

The multi-disciplinary consultancy provided project management and contract administration services during the delivery phase of the scheme, coordinating multiple stakeholders, managing programme and commercial risk, and supporting the integration of complex design and technical requirements associated with a major cultural development.

The building spans five levels and features the two permanent Why We Make galleries, a temporary exhibition space, a gift shop and the Café Jikoni restaurant, alongside an event space with an outdoor terrace that offers views over the Park.

Lee Cantrill, board director at Pulse Consult, said: “This project has delivered a significant cultural asset for East London, and we are pleased to have played a key role in its delivery. Pulse Consult was brought into the scheme at a critical stage, where our focus was on coordinating across a highly complex stakeholder and design environment, and supporting the team in achieving the technical requirements associated with a tightly controlled museum specification.

“We embedded ourselves within the client project team to co-ordinate multiple contracts and apply robust contract administration up to and beyond each sectional and practical completion milestone, reflecting our wider role as a trusted delivery partner on complex, multi-stakeholder developments.”

V&A East Museum forms part of the East Bank, a major post‑2012 Olympic and Paralympic legacy project that establishes a new hub for culture and education in east London. The work forms part of Pulse Consult’s continued engagement under the V&A framework, following its delivery of the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse.
