By Tailor Inc
Founded in 1947, Bendon is a global leader in intimate apparel and sleepwear. The company revolutionised the lingerie industry through its dedication to quality and innovation, creating a design philosophy that has grown stronger throughout history.
When Tailor Inc was approached to manage the refurbishment of their Hornby, Christchurch store, Bendon knew Tailor Inc could manage an ‘end-to-end’ solution, satisfying both client and landlord in an environment steeped in regulations.
We asked Elaine Joyce, Tailor Inc’s Retail Project Manager, what ‘end-to-end’ means.
”It’s the 3 E’s” she said, “Establish, Enable and Exceed”.
Establish the need: Develop a strong communication process to create trust and confidence.
Enable the Process: Deliver a solution, on brand, on budget and on time satisfying both the client and the landlord.
Exceed the expectation: No matter the project, Tailor Inc’s approach is always the same; commit to excellence and deliver with distinction.”
The result has been a successful evolution of Bendon’s store in Hornby, Christchurch with more requests to apply the same philosophy to other stores throughout the country.

Property Strategy: The heart and the start
Strategy is the heart and driver of each of our projects. Correct and comprehensive planning is the key to unlock varied property opportunities. Every project is unique. Only by asking ‘What?’ and ‘Why?’ can we then determine the ‘How?’
We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your business and goals. We gather information, and above all, listen before we strategise and brainstorm collaboratively. It means our strategic thinking is founded on real problems or opportunities, so the resulting projects will deliver true value to your business.

Commercial Design: Beauty that means business
Is it beautiful if it isn’t functional? We don’t think so. That’s why your project won’t just meet your brand aspirations now and in the future, it will deliver on your functional needs. You’ll have the benefit of our team’s diverse and innovative perspectives from their varied design backgrounds, an agile design process to explore multiple avenues and our collaborative approach. Good design is a journey that begins with listening and understanding, so we arrive at a solution that perfectly suits your business. We have experience working on the workplace, retail, food and beverage, hotel and multi-storey residential projects.

Project Management: The delivery’s in the detail
Your unique understanding of how your project will drive value for your business – that’s where we start. Then we look past the obvious to extract that intrinsic value. Part of that is allowing a project to evolve during its life cycle, with firm change management to avoid scope creep, overspending and time-wasting. Together we can help you understand how to work within cost and time constraints while retaining maximum flexibility.
At every step, we focus on solutions, leveraging our creative background, collective experience and network of consultants to manage time, cost, quality and scope.
