ANZ AUCKLAND PROPERTY STRATEGY - SYLVIA PARK
ANZ Raranga at Sylvia Park Town Centre was central to ANZ’s Auckland Property strategy to amalgamate staff and operations into a centralised building. The 6,500m2 multi-level campus style environment delivers connection, community and flexibility with the workplace conceived as a series of layers with a central hub on Level 7. It contains a multitude of touch down spaces, a central kitchen hub, green walls, training areas and workstations. Internal stairs between levels 7 and 8 double as an auditorium space.
The Building Intelligence Group led and managed the project life cycle including design management, value engineering, consents strategy, procurement strategy, construction management, programme and project management. Our team initiated the fast tracking of the programme and procurement items to ensure that ANZ could move into two floors in mid-May and the remaining floors were delivered, without interruption to ANZ staff’s new workplace.

MEREDITH CONNELL AUCKLAND OFFICE
One of the largest full-service law firms in the country, Meredith Connell is doing things a little differently in its new Auckland office.
Where previously the firm occupied five floors in the Forsyth Barr building, the new space encompasses the top floor of a new commercial building on Victoria Street, bringing their almost 200 staff together on one 3,170m² open plan floor.
The modern fitout creates an open, client and staff-focused space with strong imagery, contemporary furniture and a central atrium. High quality meeting spaces, a library, collaboration rooms and a welcoming reception area deliver a dynamic office aligned to Meredith Connell’s core values.
It was absolutely crucial to have people that we could rely on to get it right. I felt TBIG bought into the project, they were just as committed to seeing a great result as we were.

Constellation Brands NorthWest Two Headquarters

Brent Thomson – Business Manager Northern
CONSTELLATION BRANDS HEADQUARTERS
As New Zealand’s leading wine company, Constellation Brands’ vision was for a national headquarters which showcased the company’s past, present and future in a new building at NorthWest Two in Westgate Town centre.
The 2,200m² fitout contained many bespoke items such as barrel-shaped lighting fixtures, unique caged cellaring and a dedicated tasting room. Many of New Zealand’s natural themes have been incorporated including Central Otago schist, a living moss wall, abundant natural timber screening, and a marble-finished reception.
It was essential to ensure that Constellation Brands’ requirements and the Landlords’ base build fitout items were achieved efficiently together in an integrated fitout programme.
Without the project team’s drive and determination to deliver the outcomes we were looking for, I don’t believe we would have been able to move in when we did. Our team is very happy with the end result.

Spark Square
On a prominent corner of Cathedral Square in Christchurch, Spark New Zealand is bringing 450 of its people together in an innovative new office with a central atrium.
As the primary tenant of a new five level mixed-use building, Spark will occupy 5,000m² of office space over three floors with the design fulfilling Spark’s vision for quality accommodation with flexibility in design. This diamond in the Square will have a NABERSNZ 4.5 star energy efficiency rating.
The Building Intelligence Group’s long history in working with Spark on national accommodation projects was a big factor in understanding Spark’s requirements. Our role started with accommodation sourcing support, advising on the Development Agreement and Base Building Performance Specifications, followed by managing the fitout integration into the base build.

royal commission auckland hearing space
Royal Commission required two levels of office space in Newmarket for the purpose of holding an Inquiry into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions. It was a complete fitout to suit Government level standards, and to operate and function like a court room with various security zones. The second floor is a more traditional office space for up to 80 staff supporting the hearing process.
There was a strong vision to create inspiring, peaceful and immersive spaces, honouring the concept drivers of Toroa (Albatross) a symbol of personal journey, discovery and growth, seeking unity, peace and closure I Harakeke (Flax) A symbol of whanau I Kaitiakitanga – guardianship and conservation.
The project was serviced at a national level as a collaboration between our Wellington and Auckland offices, with the Royal Commission and the design team located in Wellington, and the construction taking place in Auckland. The completed, fully tested and operational hearing space needed to meet the pre-scheduled Hearing dates and our team led the fast tracking of the programme to ensure a beautiful high quality space was delivered in advance of the scheduled Hearing.

NZ POST
WATERLOO QUAY GROUND FLOOR
NZ Post turned a former Post Box lobby into an exciting public space that won a 2016 New Zealand Architecture Award for Interior Architecture.
The ground floor of the formerly named NZ Post House at 7 Waterloo Quay in Wellington was transformed into an open hub which provides a mix of spaces for NZ Post customers and staff.
The open lobby, as the heart of the ground floor, unlocks a scarcely used ground floor to provide a large open zone that contains a consolidated reception, meeting room suites, Customer Experience Zone, Retail Service Centre, Box Lobby, and the new Kanteen café.
The Building Intelligence Group is continuing to work on the redevelopment of this building at 7 Waterloo Quay.
The project team took time at the outset to understand our business needs and appropriately resourced our programme to deliver on those needs.
