Hospitality & Hotels

Hotels, resorts, guest rooms, restaurants, conference areas, leisure spaces and back-of-house facilities.

Overview

Hotels repeat the guest room hundreds of times, then wrap it in public spaces, plant and back-of-house areas that are anything but repetitive. The model gets the typical room right once, then coordinates risers, plant and public-space services around it.

Layer by Layer

What each discipline models

  1. L.01Architectural

    Guest rooms, public areas, facade and interior spatial layouts.

  2. L.02Structural

    Slabs, cores, framing and roof systems.

  3. L.03MEPF

    HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and plant rooms.

  4. L.04Civil / Site

    Landscape, pools and site utilities, where scoped.

  5. L.05Coordination

    Guest-room repetition, risers, plant areas and public-space services.

Typical Challenges

Where these projects go wrong, and how the model prevents it

  1. C.01

    Guest rooms repeat hundreds of times

    Approach

    The typical guest room is coordinated once, then repeated and checked floor by floor.

  2. C.02

    Risers run through every guest-room floor

    Approach

    Risers are coordinated with the room layout and structure on each level.

  3. C.03

    Public spaces and plant need different services

    Approach

    Restaurants, conference, leisure and plant areas are coordinated on their own, around the repeating floors.

Coordination Focus
  • Typical guest room resolved once and repeated
  • Risers through guest-room floors
  • Plant areas and back-of-house services
  • Services above restaurants, conference and leisure spaces
Deliverables
  • Architectural model of guest rooms, public areas and facade
  • Structural model of slabs, cores, frame and roof
  • Coordinated MEPF models including plant rooms
  • Site model of landscape, pools and utilities, where scoped
  • Federated model with clash reports and a tracked issue log

How the Work Runs

Process

  1. 01

    Brief & inputs

    Drawings, models, standards and templates collected, with scope agreed by discipline and level of detail.

  2. 02

    Discipline modeling

    Each discipline modeled on the project's shared coordinate system, to your naming and template standards.

  3. 03

    Federation & clash cycles

    Models federated and clash-tested, with issues tracked through resolution with the responsible trades.

  4. 04

    Sign-off & handover

    Issue log closed out and coordinated models and drawings handed over, with a change log.
