HOTEL PROJECT SUPPORT

Budgets that reflect how hotels are delivered.

Hotel costs need to distinguish repeated room types, sample rooms, public areas, specialist packages, FF&E, operational constraints and phasing.

01 · FEASIBILITY

Hotel refurbishment budgets

Early feasibility allowances based on room count, room types, project areas, condition, specification and proposed scope.

02 · ROOMS

Room-type cost models

Separate bedroom and bathroom costs across standard rooms, accessible rooms, suites and other repeated types.

03 · SAMPLE ROOM

Sample-room pricing review

Use the sample room to test construction scope, FF&E, finishes, buildability, repeated details and likely roll-out cost.

04 · PHASING

Operational hotel refurbishment

Consider floor-by-floor or zone phasing, temporary protection, access, noise, shutdowns, working hours and maintaining hotel operations.

05 · PROCUREMENT

Construction, FF&E and specialist packages

Clarify package boundaries and avoid gaps or duplication between the main contractor, direct suppliers, operator requirements and specialist trades.

06 · TENDER

Contractor comparison and risk review

Normalise tender returns and identify differences in scope, assumptions, allowances, programme, exclusions and commercial qualifications.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Hotel refurbishment questions we can answer.

Project-specific analysis is more useful than relying on a single cost per bedroom.

How much does it cost to refurbish a hotel bedroom?

The answer depends on room size, bathroom scope, services, finishes, fitted joinery, FF&E, brand standard, access and the number of repeated rooms. We can build a room-type cost model.

How should repeated room types be budgeted?

Measure and price each room type, establish repeated quantities and keep floor, corridor, public-area, back-of-house and project-wide costs separate.

Can a hotel remain operational during refurbishment?

Often yes, but phasing, access, noise, dust, services shutdowns, temporary routes and protection need to be included in the programme and budget.

How do we compare hotel refurbishment tenders?

Construction, FF&E, specialist systems, operator-supplied items, provisional allowances and phasing assumptions must first be aligned.
