Streamlining Hotel Construction Processes

The hospitality industry is changing its construction approaches to allow greater customizability and personalization and to improve construction efficiency.

FREMONT, CA: Changing guest and owner demands means changing conventions in hotel construction. Guests now expect more flexible and creative spaces, and they are looking for hotels that can cater to their specific needs and want their experience to be unique. Hotels must now focus on creating spaces suitable for various purposes and adapting to changing needs and trends. The following tips can help hoteliers plan a new build, an expansion, or a complete renovation when they begin a construction project.

Build Sustainability: It is possible to shorten renovation cycles while considering the environment. Ceramic tile installed using rapid tile dry-lay is five times faster than ceramic tile installed using thin-set, and old truck tires are recycled cradle-to-cradle. Solar energy, smart sensor systems, and water reusing are becoming more popular ways to reduce waste.

Consider modular construction: Traditionally, modular developments were limited to select-service projects, but they are now gaining traction in more sectors. In addition to pushing the boundaries within the three-and-a-half to four-plus-star development sector, modular manufacturers are increasingly becoming a part of the solution for contractors.

Source Locally: The challenges posed by shipping containers and seaports have led to a greater emphasis on sourcing materials from North America and Mexico. A hotel purchasing department is responsible for identifying the manufacturers and suppliers of the specified materials.

Getting local elements requires knowing where they are sourced from and how long they will take to arrive. It is common for solar panels to be manufactured internationally. Develop your building's green energy power by identifying domestic sources of solar panels or other materials.

Design for Technology:

Before construction begins, architects must plan for future technology capabilities since guests expect ever-expanding services. If you want to add new phones or internet systems without disrupting your current infrastructure, you should be able to do so without any problems.

Add Access to the Outdoors: Large patios, decks, and courtyards with sliding doors or operable windows are becoming increasingly popular. Guests increasingly want hotel amenities, and outdoor spaces make hotel stays more comfortable and inviting.
