RoleFabrication & Installation

The scope included restoration of fixed carpentry elements, refurbishment of existing furniture, and fabrication of new furniture components while both resorts remained active.

Scope of Work

What Was Delivered

01

Restoration of Fixed Carpentry

Existing built-in carpentry elements restored to brand specification across both properties — headboard frames, casegoods, cabinetry and architectural millwork.

02

Furniture Fabrication

New furniture components designed to specification and fabricated in-house, integrated into the renovation scope alongside the restoration program.

03

Installation

All fabricated and restored elements installed room by room within the hotel's operational schedule — without disrupting active guest areas.

04

Phased Execution

Work sequenced by room block to match hotel room-release windows, allowing the renovation to advance continuously while keeping the maximum number of rooms in active service.

05

Guestroom Furniture Refurbishment

Existing guestroom furniture pieces refurbished and returned to hotel-standard condition across both properties.

06

Quality Control

Each room reviewed against brand quality standards before handover to hotel operations — finish, alignment and installation condition verified at every stage.

The Challenge

Operating Without Interruption

The work had to be executed while both resorts continued operating. This required strict coordination around noise, cleanliness, guest experience, access control, and phased delivery to avoid operational disruption.

Renovation inside a live resort means every decision is subordinated to the guest experience.

Delivery
