Proactive after the Kaikoura earthquake, Napier City Council undertook a seismic review of their civic precinct. Finding the Civic Building and Library to be earthquake prone, they sought a decisive strategy and project management assistance to make a relocation happen - and quickly.

Within 24 hours of getting the call from Napier City Council, we had our team on the ground carrying our rapid feasibility studies on building options in the CBD to relocate 220 staff. We led the process to fit out three separate buildings, including a new customer service centre and a temporary library, all achieved in less than five months.

Continuity of civic service to the community was paramount, so delivering the new buildings on time was critical. Importantly, the temporary library home in the Museum Theatre Gallery was established quickly, great news to the 600 customers a week who love their library and could not be without it.

The Building Intelligence Group picked up the reins from day one and created a team culture where everyone knew their role, and smart efficient decisions could be made. We always felt well supported.
