The Top Secrets of a Successful Hotel Renovation or New Hotel Construction Project

A successful hotel renovation or new hotel construction project requires careful planning and execution in order to stay on time and on budget. In this blog post, we’ll reveal some of the top secrets for achieving success with your hotel renovation or new construction project, including how to manage supply chain and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) and operating supplies and equipment (OS&E) procurement costs. By following these tips, you can be sure that your project will run smoothly and be completed on schedule.

Manage Your Supply Chain Costs Carefully

One of the most important aspects of any hotel renovation or new construction project is managing the costs of your supply chain carefully. Hotel procurement firms should stay up to date on pricing and maintain excellent vendor relationships to get the FF&E and OS&E products every hotel needs. By carefully monitoring your costs and working with reputable vendors, you can be sure that your project stays within budget.

Plan the Timing of Your FF&E and OS&E Orders Accurately

Another important tip for success is to plan the timing of your orders accurately. This includes both ordering materials in a timely manner and avoiding rush charges whenever possible.  Stroud Group has longstanding relationships with vendors that enable us to get the materials you need without incurring last-minute rush charges. We also carefully track the progress of your project so that we can place orders for materials well in advance, ensuring that everything arrives on time.  This not only ensures a successful project but also means you stay within budget.

Maintain a Detailed Project Schedule

Procuring the right FF&E and OS&E products and keeping a tight schedule doesn’t just magically happen. One of the keys to success for any hotel renovation or new construction project is maintaining a detailed project schedule. This schedule should include not only when different tasks need to be completed but also who is responsible for each task. The best hotel procurement teams will have detailed specialists that are aligned to take care of every detail, no matter how small, to keep every project moving forward.

Communicate Regularly With All Stakeholders

Another important tip for success is to communicate regularly with all stakeholders throughout the duration of your project. This includes not only keeping hotel owners and hotel owner groups updated on the status of their project, but also communicating with contractors, architects, engineers, and other members of the hotel project.
