Les Mills Victoria Street banner

Few businesses truly live the brand the way Les Mills does. From their people to their classes to their gyms, they are world-class. They have the audacious goal to be ‘the world’s best gyms!’

Tailor has forged an enduring partnership with Les Mills, providing the resources and expertise to guide and manage all aspects of their property portfolio, assisting them to achieve their business growth objectives as well as their constantly evolving, existing operations.

We are intimate with their brand, operations and aspirations and our team are experts at managing their high-performance projects with commitment, passion and energetic leadership. Les Mills Auckland City is the company’s flagship gym and as part of their planned $40 million overhauls of the Victoria Street site, Les Mills wanted to re-purpose an old car park building into a state-of-the-art exercise space comprising: 3 unique training studios including the world’s largest-ever Immersive Cycle studio (containing 100+ stationary bikes and a giant screen 20m wide by 4m high), A new to market boxing studio (called the Conquer Studio) and Functional training studio (called the Ceremony Studio).

The project value was approximately $4m.

A significant aspect of the project was the design and construction of a multi-storey inner-city car park with 7 levels. Housing 300 car parks and 3 retail tenancies, Tailor Inc. provided the full range of construction project management services for the building including a through-site link to Victoria St and an End-of-journey cycle storage facility for public use.

Our service included:

  • Drafting and implementing a preconstruction agreement service during design.
  • Managing the procurement of all design consultants.
  • Managing the procurement of the contractor.
  • Engineer to the Contract.
  • Reporting to the Les Mills Board of Directors on construction matters pertaining to the project.
  • Chairing and managing all project meetings including site meetings and PCGs.
  • Managing risk, project change and design discrepancies.
  • Stakeholder management; particularly being an inner-city project, the management of the ongoing impact of construction with neighbouring businesses.

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.

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.
