Umhlanga Sands resort overlooks the Umhlanga Rocks beachfront and is a pop-

ular destination for local and international holidaymakers.

The Resort closed on 14 January 2012 to commence with the refurbishment of

237 hotel rooms and corridors. Teams started with demolition works on 18 Jan-

uary 2012.

Demolition works included removing of all furniture of 237 rooms, doors, door-

frames, bathroom ceilings and wood and glass panels.

New installations will include cretestone plastering of all walls, state of the art

LED down lighters set in a flush skimmed ceiling and new doors and frames

with the latest electronic Vingcard locks to give the rooms a luxurious finish.

The plumbing infrastructure will be completely replaced including hot and cold

water supply. The fire hydrant feeder pipe is also replaced. The rooms will be

fitted with a new airconditioning fancoil unit, grills and control panel.

Corridor walls will be smooth plastered and new carpets will be laid, bulkhead

ceilings and LED down lights will be giving the curved corridors a new look.

In the public areas and restaurants all wooden shopfronts and doors will be re-

placed with aluminium shopfronts.

The tight programme is a challenge to the team, but with Betts Townsend’s ex-

cellent time management skills the completion date of 5 April 2012 will be

achieved and the hotel will be open in time to welcome their guests for the East-

er weekend.

In October 2009 the Fairmont contract at Zimbali in Durban, South Africa came

to a standstill due to legal matters.

Betts Townsend’s proven track record and capability in delivering Construction

Management type contracts were then approached by the client body and thus

the basis for the appointment. Betts Townsend were mutually appointed in both

a Project Management and Construction Management capacity to fast track the

internal fit and external works completion of the Fairmont Zimbali Resort.

Betts Townsend were further charged with an internal fit-out appointment to all

finishes including approximately 120 rooms, 2 Royal Suites (both +300m²), 2

fine dining restaurants, tea room, all pause and formal lounges, main entrance

foyer, spiral “feature” staircase, banqueting hall, pre-assembly, public toilets, lift

lobbies, spa, gymnasium – 92 Cores on 6 Levels, Sales Office and Related BOH

to all areas.

The dry run on the resort took place on the 1st May 2010 with practical com-

pletion scheduled on the 31st May 2010.

Betts Townsend’s direct labour force was in excess of 800 personnel driving the

project to completion.

External works included all hard and soft landscaping, 5 private external luxury

suites, totalling 25 rooms, main pool area, deli, main entrance and pool area.

Programme Management was the critical part of the delivery process, having

reduced the initial fit out delivery programme substantially to safeguard the sales

and pre-opening original target date. Betts Townsend’s effective programme and

resource management ensured that the Hotel opened its doors on time and at

the original programme date.

Betts Townsend, having reduced the delayed programme by over 3 months, re-

confirmed to all that no matter the complexity or timeframe, it can be done!

The Peter Mokaba Football Stadium now stands as one of the most iconic Stadi-

ums in South Africa completed for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

FIFA rules and regulations called for an extremely stringent execution with no

room for programme delay or quality concerns. Our appointment was based on

our PM capacity and successful track record.

Interface with Government structures together with management implementa-

tion of the Municipal Procurement Act was a requirement from the Limpopo

Province and Polokwane Minucipality, being the client.

A comprehensive pre-contract programming exercise took place to ensure that

the master programme deliverables were delivered flawlessly. Early budget con-

straints resulted in a redesign of a substantial portion of the stadium, however

positively adding to the final product.

Construction of the stadium boasts some of the most technologically advanced

techniques and operational systems available. Specialized consultants were con-

tracted from a global panel to ensure that the stadium would meet the FIFA re-

quirements.

In a project of this nature, the management of a global team makes for both a

resource and procurement challenge. All aspects of procurement complied with

the Municipal Procurement Act requiring effective program, quality and budget

management.

The Peter Mokaba stadium was delivered on time. The delivery well within the

mandate and criteria ensured that BT secured the ongoing facilities management

contract as well as the precinct management upgrade. BT prides themselves in

delivering a project of this nature with FIFA having commended the team on an

above the norm delivery.

Betts Townsend were appointed as Project Managers to the construction of a

Southern Sun Premier Brand (4*) hotel of 132 keys located at the exclusive

Hyde Park Shopping Centre in Johannesburg on behalf of Hyprop Investments

Ltd.

The hotel is constructed primarily on top of the existing main public parking

garage on the north western corner of the property. The main hotel structure

consists of 3 floors of guest rooms (mixture of standard king rooms, executive

rooms, suites and disabled rooms) and a public, mezzanine floor all located on

top of the parking garage with excellent views to the north and east of Sandton

and Randburg. The main hotel reception is located at ground level and guests

access the main hotel facilities via north facing scenic shuttle lifts. Dedicated

hotel parking is provided within the existing parking garage.

The public facilities include an international a la carte restaurant, with sushi bar,

island bar and a whiskey/cigar bar overlooking the pool terrace. In addition there

is a business centre, boardroom and conference facilities and a rooftop gymnasi-

um with breathtaking views of the surrounding environs.

The extent and complexity of the structural alterations required within the exist-

ing structure proved challenging especially whilst maintaining continuous access

to the parkade and the shopping centre. The nature of the work undertaken, in a

‘live’ up market retail environment, brought the issues of cleanliness, noise con-

trol, access and traffic control and, of course, safety to the forefront. Effective

time management and continuous communications with the various contractors,

the shopping centre's management and their service providers was required to

minimize disruption to the centre's operations and to address the public's ques-

tions and concerns.

The hotel currently stands as an iconic trendy entertainment platform, a signa-

ture Hotel that has transformed the Hyde Park Skyline.

Management of the refurbishment of the signature multi-storey Southern Sun

Elangeni Hotel in Durban, South Africa. Betts Construction, a division of Betts

modeling of the internal, WC’s of the 449 rooms, including all King and Junior

suites, Conference Centers, Lift Lobbies and Lift Car Upgrade, Pre-assembly

Betts Townsend’s experience in the leisure industry, with specific reference to a

live environment and public interface control was the basis of the appointment.

ing exercise to ensure a zero impact on fit out.

and Construction Manager George Betts were responsible for the build procure-

ment and logistics management as well as Programme Management of the refur-

bishment.

Betts Townsend’s project management appointment of the Hemingways Shop-

ping Mall was at the time one of the largest construction commissions in South

Africa.

Betts Townsend’s function began with a substantial bulk earthworks contract,

which ran concurrently with an equally substantial piling operation (an excess of

1400 piles). The project ran from September 2007 until the opening in Septem-

ber 2009. It was a challenge to meet the originally programmed opening date,

and required a huge input and commitment from the Betts Townsend team and

the contracting teams.

Hemingways stands as the first regional shopping center in East London, and has

a prime location on the N2 freeway, and located directly next door to the luxuri-

ous Hemingways Hotel and Casino complex. The building is constructed with

two retail levels, each approximately 500m in length owing to the narrowness of

the site. The parking is primarily located on basement, mezzanine and roof lev-

els that translate to five storey's of building area, making up the GBA of

150,000m2. The GLA is 74,000m2.

A Caribbean-like architecture was employed by the architects to match the adja-

cent hotel and casino, with a bold and contemporary design on the interior

providing a unique and very distinctive appearance.

The tenant mix is varied, and amongst the 206 line shops, the anchors are Wool-

worths, Edgars and Pick n Pay.

The project was delivered one month ahead of schedule off the back of an in-

credibly fast tracked building programme.

Betts Townsends’ ongoing project management function at Canal Walk Shop-

ping Center most recent mandate was to deliver the Retail Pods Extension pro-

ject on behalf of Hyprop Investment Limited and Ellerine Bros.

The build involved an additional 16 000m2 of Retail GLA with an approximate

structured parking build of a further 50 000m², taking the total center to the

largest Retail Center in South Africa to 151 000m².

The “Lanterns” as coined by the press was the 1st of it’s kind in South Africa as a

strip retail offering. A very sensitive and technical build across all accesses to the

existing shopping center made for a challenging interface with both public and

tenants alike.

Traffic Management and Public Liability were two of the biggest challenges due

to surrounding ring road infrastructure that feeds the main artery from Century

City to the adjoining highways.

Betts Townsend (Pty) Ltd and associated team delivered the project on time and

under budget allowing for a smooth transition for Tenant Fit Out.

Following the success of the base build, Betts Townsend followed with the fit

out and tents fit outs with their tenant co-ordination appointment.

Canal Walk stands as the largest Retail Center in Africa, and Betts Townsend are

proud to retain the ongoing Project Management function at the center.

Our function began once the bulk earthworks contract had been completed by

the Client. The project ran from a very muddy March 2007 until the opening

April 2008.

It was a challenge to meet the originally programmed opening date, and required

a huge input from our team and the contracting teams. The centre is the first of

its kind in Mdantsane (the second largest township in the country), and has a

prime location on a key arterial route with a substantial taxi ramp, for the con-

venience of the township dwellers.

The building is single storey for the most part, and the Architects have em-

ployed a contemporary design with high quality materials, that has resulted in a

well lit and extremely attractive mall. The tenant mix is varied, and amongst the

106 shops, the anchors are Woolworths, Shoprite and Pick n Pay. The GLA is

37,000m². Contract final account value R190m (September 2008).

Eastgate Shopping Center (101 000 GLA) is one of the premier Super Regional

Centers in South Africa servicing the East Rand of Johannesburg. It ranks as one

of the highest trading malls in South Africa, both in terms of foot-count and

turnover.

When Betts Townsend where appointed as Project Managers, a special request

was made that a Construction Management function was also facilitated due to

the sensitive nature of the refurbishment.

A live super regional refurbishment requires a strong team to manage the works

especially in view that a 24hr programme was required to limit and reduce im-

pact on tenant and mall trade.

Careful consideration on planning was required, with a heavy focus on contrac-

tor management and public liability in terms of high level refurbishment works

and general mall works.

The internal fit out scope of works included refurbishment of all mall areas and

void areas, WC Block Refurbishments, New WC Block creation, Food Court

Reconfiguration and Refurbishment, New Structural Canopies and Entrance Re-

configuration.

The total project was delivered in under 11months, in time and within budget.

The choice to partner with the client on a risk sharing basis on a CM function

attributed to the successful completion of the project.

With their longstanding relationship with Hyprop, Betts Townsend was the Pro-

ject Managers of choice for the construction of a new 32 000m² single level

shopping centre in Shelly Beach on the South Coast. The greenfields site is lo-

cated in a prime position alongside the main N2 road.

The construction process also included filling of 150 000m² of excavated area to

create the building platform.

The construction programme was extremely fast track with the actual build pro-

gramme being 11 months, without including 37 rain working days.

Anchor tenants include Game and Checkers Hyper on either side of the centre.

The entrance facing the Indian Ocean is an external piazza area surrounded by

restaurants with stunning sea views.

The structure of the building is a standard steel column and roof with infill

brickwork. Finishes are bright and in line with the sunny coastal feeling.

The lower level of 2 000m² was demolished and reconstructed into new retail

space of 2 500m² for Fruit & Veg City. The work included the removal of 2 es-

calators and closing of the openings, installation of reticulation and services.

The new extension also made provision for a new restaurant.

The upper level of approximately 5 000m² was demolished and reconstructed to

accommodate Mr. Price Sport who covered an area of 1 500m². Work included

relocating elevators to create a new entrance to the store from the parking area.

A new public lift was also installed in the basement parking area to provide cus-

tomers with easy access to the new store on the upper level.

The new public mall extension also provided retail space for Standard Bank, the

Post Office and Yamaha Music with a new public toilet block. A staircase and

lifts connecting the new extension to the upper level was also installed.

The structural modification of the centre proved to be a challenge with the cen-

tre continuously trading, but with Betts Townsend’s carefully planned pro-

gramme no trading was affected during the construction period.

The extension to La Lucia Mall transformed “dead” space into a viable solution

and impressive mix of tenants.

Betts Townsend has a longstanding relationship with Hyprop Investments Lim-

ited & Ellerine Bros. and acts as the residential project manager for all refurbish-

ments, additions and extensions at Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Cape Town.

Canal Walk is the 3rd largest and one of the most iconic shopping centres in

Africa and Betts Townsend (Pty) Ltd plays a significant role in the development

of this shopping centre.

Projects included the refurbishment of the La Piazza area Phases 1 and 2.

A reconfiguration to the Foodcourt area was also done, which involved demoli-

tion of sheer walls to open up the mall space to a view of the canal, while mak-

ing better use of dead space and still extending valuable GLA. Working in a live

environment, which is sensitive to noise and dust, especially when it came to

demolition of 4m² reinforced concrete walls was one of the many challenges we

faced, but the extension was a successful one, coming in under budget, having

limited disruption to tenant trade and impacting positively on the centre.

Betts Townsend managed the Tenant coordination function for several years be-

fore it was internalized by Centre Management and we have successfully com-

pleted and handed over well over 300 stores, assisting the tenants and Centre

Management in demolition, designing and refurbishing stores.

Other major store developments include the new Mr. Price Home store, Dion

Wired, extending and upgrading Dis-Chem pharmacy, Incredible Connection

and the extension of Woolworths.

There are several new projects in design stage, including extension to Edgars

and Mr. Price.

Betts Townsend’s comprehensive knowledge and unmatched Retail experience in

both FOH and BOH were appointed to construct the new Longmeadow exten-

sion to cater for the national upsizing.

Not only was Betts Townsend appointed in a Project Management capacity but

Pick ‘n Pay’s decision was one of a risk sharing and trust approach whereby Betts

Townsend were further appointed in a Construction Management capacity.

The project brief was to extend the existing Distribution facility to accommo-

date an additional 34 000m² of Warehouse space.

The initial target programme was programmed over a 12 month period. Betts

Townsend’s construction management team delivered the project in under 9

months with a 6.5% saving on traditional programme and construction cost.

Added to the Warehouse extension, Betts Townsend were charged with addi-

tions and alterations to the existing Administration facility delivered and com-

pleted in the 1st quarter of 2010.

The Pick n Pay Longmeadow Distribution Centre stands as a prime example that

in sensitive yield driven times a joint PM / CM approach can be beneficial to the

client in both time and budget.

Part of Harley Davidson’s global commercial expansion programme was to posi-

tion themselves in Cape Town to service both the Middle East and Africa.

Betts Townsend were appointed on a Project Management and Construction

Management basis with a co-ordination and interpretation of specification link

with the UK operation responsible for both Q&A and Design.

Harley Davidson nomination of their global marketing launch pad created a very

technical acoustic installation to allow for “start up of new motor cycles in the

marketing room”. Naturally with surrounding tenancies this was a very sensitive

matter. Betts Townsend’s input and procurement control of the acoustic design

team and installation made for a perfect installation and zero noise pollution.

With Harley Davidson’s main manufacturing arm being positioned in the United

States, integrated systems for procurement, VOIP, VC were required to support

the global ordering and procurement operations.

Betts Townsend’s experience in Commercial fit out of technical IT installations

made for a successful project using a raised access flooring system similar to their

global specification allowing for super duct cable tray systems and underfloor

reticulation of services.

Harley Davidson stands as an iconic commercial tenant space used as a bench-

mark in quality and technical interface.

Definitive Capital Management’s close link with their Swiss Clientele made for a

very clear mandate for their Cape Town based office: crisp, clean and functional.

The internal fit out was controlled through Betts Townsend’s Construction Man-

agement Division. Procurement was a joint client and Betts Townsend exercise

with the Project Management also through Betts Townsend.

The clients request for large open creative spaces called for a detailed controlled

design of the M&E as well as lighting design. Large glass facades in the South

African summer called for a close treatment to the loading co-efficient transfer of

heat and UV transfer.

Special attention was applied to the IT interface and Data communication side

with the company focus on global Stock Exchange operations.

The Coronation Fund Managers (CFM) move to the Montclare Building in

Claremont made for a very intensive IT infrastructure and co-ordination project.

Coronation Fund Managers is one of South Africa’s leading Fund Management

companies with global interests and operations.

Betts Townsend were appointed in both a PM and CM capacity and were

charged with the new build and relocation of the Coronation Fund Managers

Head Office and sub-divisions to the new premises.

As a technology and systems focused business, special attention and design was

placed on IT, VOIP and Data integration. A raised access anti-static requirement

in terms of flooring was implemented to assist with the ever-changing environ-

ment.

A disaster recovery site as well as line of site micro links were all part and parcel

of the move and implementation process. Coronation Fund Managers’ close

trade with the JSE/LSE/NYSE and the like made for a detailed and aggressive

management function.

Technically the site proved difficult both in deliveries and site logistics due to

the adjacent intersection of two main feeder routes into the Claremont/

Newlands Area. Betts Townsend were charged with the global site logistics as

well as security measures.

An incredibly fast track fit out process, Coronation Fund Managers’ 6 000 GLA

Office space went live in under 4 months with zero glitches.

To build a “greenfields” (from scratch) international airport is an unusual occur-

rence anywhere in the world and going live on a such an airport is an incredibly

daunting task

The passenger terminal building was designed to meet the International Air

Transport Association Level of Service C. This denotes a good level of service,

with conditions of stable flow, acceptable delays and good levels of com-

fort. Betts Townsend (Pty) Ltd was appointed to manage the full tenant installa-

tion thereby ensuring that the airport provided and delivered the necessary ser-

vices to achieve international recognition and, more importantly, impact on the

willingness of passengers to repeat the experience of both visiting and flying

through the new airport. Tenancies include national retail chains, food and

beverage outlets, government agencies, airline operators and services, car rental

operators, warehouse facilities and commercial space for ACSA Property ten-

ants. Special attention was paid to the airport lounges and external piazza

(which houses national food and beverage outlets) both areas identified for cus-

tomer comfort and convenience.

Ensuring that program demands were maintained and met have been extremely

challenging throughout this build as all ancillary services and supporting infra-

structure to the terminus were of equal importance in ensuring the successful

launch of such an auspicious airport. Over and above the customary pressure of

programme demands, the logistical exercise of moving the old Durban Interna-

tional Airport from 50 km away without disruptions to flight schedules, tenant

fit-outs and general airport operations, only added to the challenge.
