Fitness First, Belfast

Client:

Fitness First Clubs Plc
Consultant:
Watts
Service:
Cost Consultancy and Project Management
Project Cost:
Circa £900k per project

The Club required a complex engineering solution to design a 6,000sqft mezzanine, over a 12,000sqft ground floor plate, and incorporated complex drainage and air conditioning solutions, as we were working within the constraints of a speculatively built retail warehouse unit. Despite these difficulties, we delivered the project on time and within the Client's project budget.  In November 2000, we handed over Boucher Road, the latest addition to our Client's expanding Club base in Ireland.  We are now working on a further Club in Ballymena, which will be opened early Summer 2001, and recently, due to the success of our projects in Ireland, our instructions have been extended into Scotland, where we are working on projects in Inverness, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

Following an acquisition survey for Fitness First in 1997 on their principal Fitness Club property in Northern Ireland, a proposal for full Project Management and Lead Consultant role in Northern Ireland for all capital projects was approved. Over the last three years, we have continuously worked with the Client's in-house Project Team based in Poole, with further fit-out projects in Belfast and Bangor.
