the langlands hotel
A new landmark hotel called The Langlands, has opened in Invercargill. The complexity and scale of the project saw the Invercargill Licensing Trust enlist The Building Intelligence Group as project managers to bring independent leadership to this flagship project. The project team that made it happen included Leighs Construction and Warren and Mahoney.
The 3,000m2 site on the corner of Dee and Don Streets is an optimal CBD location. Stage one of the seven level development contains 78 guest rooms, function / conference facilities, rooftop function space with terracing, carparking and eateries and bars. What an exciting new hotel on the city’s skyline.

Rydges Hotel
The Rydges Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn), at 235 rooms and 25 apartments, was Wellington’s largest new hotel build in 2007 and the first new hotel to be built in the city in 12 years at the time.
The Building Intelligence Group was engaged to manage the fitout of the hotel rooms and apartments, car parking, front-of-house reception, restaurant, conference facilities, and kitchen areas. Unique to this project was the decision to use prefabricated bathrooms shipped from the South Island. This proved a key factor in meeting very tight time constraints without compromising quality.
The hotel was recognised with a New Zealand Property Council Award and a New Zealand Institute of Architects Award.

Ibis Hotel
The February 2011 earthquake closed the Ibis and Novotel Hotels located in the Red Zone. The Building Intelligence Group was engaged to manage the seismic remediation of the two hotels concurrently.
Delivering projects in the Red Zone was highly demanding and presented a range of unique project risks, consenting and access strategies and sequencing of works to find the best solutions to lead a scope of works that was unchartered territory in New Zealand.
It really brought home to me the absolute advantage of using a project management company that is independent.
