A brief discussion on issues that need to be paid attention to in hotel project management

1. Issues that need to be paid attention to during design:

Design It is the soul of a project, especially a hotel project. The quality of the design directly determines the success or failure of a project. As a hotel project, choosing a good design institute, especially one with experience in hotel design, is a top priority. From the initial building layout to the final decoration design, it is best to use one design unit. If two or more design units are used for architectural design and interior decoration, the following issues should be noted:

1.1 The time when the secondary design unit participated in the project.

The author believes that this is the first issue that needs attention, because each design unit has its own design style. It is very necessary for the two design units to fully communicate and understand each other's design ideas. . I once participated in the project management of a five-star garden hotel project. At that time, the primary design and secondary design units were two units. After the main construction was completed, the secondary maintenance structure was being laid on site. The secondary decoration design unit Intervening in the secondary design of interior decoration, the design plan, layout, etc. are very different from the primary design. The two design units communicated and revised, and the on-site construction also made changes accordingly, involving structure, water, heating, and electricity. Changes have been made in all majors, which not only increased the workload of the design unit, increased on-site construction costs, but also delayed the construction period. Therefore, the author believes that the best time for secondary design units to intervene in the project is during the primary design period. If the secondary design unit cannot be determined during this period, the secondary design should be considered after the primary design construction drawings are released at the latest.

1.2 Review whether the design plan meets the intention of the construction unit.

The difference between hotel projects and other projects is that the hotel rating has national rating standards, which is what we usually call a star hotel. In the assessment standards, there are strict regulations on the building area, number of guest rooms and suites, decoration, etc. This requires that when reviewing the design plan, see whether it meets the requirements of the construction unit. For example, the construction unit plans to build a four-star hotel. We need to examine what conditions a four-star hotel should have and whether the design meets these conditions to avoid irreparable defects in the future.

1.3 Review whether the building and structural heights in the design construction drawings can meet the requirements of the construction unit

As a public place, the hotel is extremely crowded due to its dense population, large passenger flow and high degree of decoration. It is prone to fire hazards and has always been the focus of fire supervision. Therefore, the hotel design must have fire sprinklers, smoke exhaust ducts, strong and weak electric bridges, air conditioning water pipes, water supply and drainage pipes, and some high-end hotels will also involve direct drinking water. Pipes, gray water systems, etc., and most pipelines are concentrated in corridors and other places. The corridor location is limited. In order to avoid passing through structural beams, various pipelines are generally arranged at the bottom of the beams, which will inevitably occupy a large facade space. In addition, The ceiling decoration shape and the facade position occupied by the lamps will reduce the clearance size of the hotel corridor by a large part. If the floor height cannot meet the location of each pipe, it will inevitably lead to insufficient clearance size of the hotel corridor. After the decoration is completed, there will be It's a very depressing feeling. In a hotel project I came into contact with, the structural floor height was 3.5M, and the main beam height was 750mm. In addition, there were many professional pipes installed, and there was space left for pipe installation and maintenance. After the ceiling was finally decorated, the headroom was only 2.4 meters, plus the installation of lamps, the clearance was less than 2.2 meters, which could not meet the functional requirements. After final design verification, holes were made in the beams, reinforced with bonded steel, and the ceiling elevation of the corridor was raised to 2.8, which increased the cost and delayed the construction period. Therefore, during the drawing design stage, you must communicate with the designer in advance and consider it in advance.

1.4 New technologies in energy saving should be considered in the design

Low carbon and energy saving are the hottest topics at present, and they are valuable when it comes to hotel buildings, although the initial investment will be relatively large. , but the later operating costs will be reduced a lot, which mainly depends on the funds of the construction unit. If the funds are relatively sufficient, the author believes that it is necessary to introduce some energy-saving technologies into the hotel building.

2. Issues that should be paid attention to during the construction stage

The construction stage is the process of concretely realizing the design intention. Since there are many units involved in the construction stage, various tasks overlap, and the work The arrangements are relatively good

2.1 First of all, the construction interface should be clearly defined.

The author believes that this is the first thing to be determined during the construction stage, which is related to the determination of the construction scope of each unit and the signing of the contract in the future. At present, hotel projects generally adopt a general contracting-subcontracting construction model, but this model is only limited to the main body of the project, because generally when the contract of the general contractor is signed, the secondary design drawings are being designed or the secondary design has not yet been carried out. Unless the primary design and secondary design proposed by the author are carried out simultaneously, the general contract generally does not include the construction part of fine decoration, and the water and electricity installation profession often changes according to the adjustment of fine decoration, which involves The construction interface is divided between the general contractor and the decoration unit. Therefore, before the contract is signed with the general contractor, the construction interface should be divided in detail based on the characteristics of the project and the intention of the construction unit. The more detailed the interface division, the fewer disputes will occur during the future construction process. Cost and schedule are better controlled.

2.2 Control of project key time nodes

Hotel projects are similar to industrial projects in that the construction period is tight. Generally, the hotel opens one day earlier, which can generate economic benefits for the construction unit one day earlier. , so the construction unit will try to shorten the construction period as much as possible, which requires the project management to jointly determine key nodes with the construction unit based on the project characteristics and actual conditions, such as plus or minus zero completion time, main body completion time, decoration unit entry time and The total completion time (can be agreed in detail in the contract if necessary), the construction unit should arrange the schedule according to this, to ensure the smooth completion of each time node, the project management can list detailed tasks according to the specific tasks within each time node. Work plans and prepare responses to possible problems in advance.

2.3 Prepare bidding and fund use plans

One of the main tasks in the construction phase is the bidding of various construction units and material suppliers, which are listed according to the work plans of each stage. Plan the construction units and materials that require bidding and make plans for the use of funds.

2.4 Management of on-site construction quality and safe and civilized construction

The construction unit and supervision unit are mainly responsible for the on-site quality and safe and civilized construction. However, as the project management unit, the on-site Construction quality and safety management still have unshirkable responsibilities. After all, construction quality and on-site safety are the top priorities of a project management. On-site quality and safety must not be ignored for this reason.

3 Conclusion

There are many issues that need to be paid attention to in the project management of hotel projects, but the above aspects are easily overlooked in the hotel projects that the author has been exposed to in recent years. And I think these are some of the more important aspects. As a manager in hotel project management, only by constantly summarizing experience and lessons, timely solving problems that arise in project management, and constantly improving the project management system, the author believes that project management will continue to improve. ;
