Reconstruction of hotel rooms study guide. Design of hotels, hotels, hostels. A Satisfying Result

It has long been known that the formation of a new hotel market for Russia develops in a specific way. The declared investment projects of hotels are not always implemented, or they are converted into residential and office premises, the payback period of which is much lower than hotel real estate. The problem is that in the absence of a deep understanding of the industry, the budget grows at each stage of the project. As a result, the investor, having come to a significant increase in costs, decides to build a business center, a residential building, etc. But not a hotel. One of the options for launching a hotel property with less losses could be the reconstruction of an old building. As a rule, these are hotels of the "Soviet heritage", which the investor receives as a "load" for a large project or simply as a temporary placement of funds in non-core assets. In layman's terms - investing "for a while". However, often the reconstruction of an old building into a modern hotel becomes a more expensive undertaking than the construction of a new building. The situation is even worse when the object needs to be reconstructed in stages, without interrupting the process of accommodating guests. In this case, the owner is faced with the task of not only renovating the number of rooms, but also not losing existing customers. Especially for Frontdesk.ru, the article discusses the basic principles of reconstruction, following which you can avoid financial losses and risks associated with the loss of customers, delays in renovation and increased costs.
The inconvenience caused to guests during the reconstruction process can seriously damage both the economic and the image of the hotel. If we talk about a functioning enterprise, then the average period of work without renovation is from 5 to 7 years. The refurbishment of hotels managed by an international operator may vary depending on the requirements and standards of the hotel brand. Planned reconstruction allows the hotel to meet service requirements, remain competitive and maintain the planned profit bar. Preparing for a refurbishment should take into account all aspects of guest service, including the development of an operational plan for furniture replacement, material movement, guest movement in guest areas, and staff actions. The following actions can have a significant effect on minimizing costs and inconvenience to guests and carry out reconstruction with the least possible losses.

1. The selection of material suppliers, service providers, and third-party consultants is carried out before the start of the reconstruction, which ensures the hotel's coordinated work of related companies. The staged selection of contractors during the course of a project can result in significant issues regarding delivery times, work scheduling, and collaboration between contractors on site. Unfortunately, a typical situation is when a hotel, which applied for materials late, receives low-quality products at an inflated price, since the deadlines for completing the project were limited. In one of the hotels in Moscow, the furniture purchased in advance categorically did not harmonize with the carpets bought “at the last moment”. Ultimately, the cost of new coatings amounted to 250% of the originally planned price. Early selection of a pool of suppliers will enable joint project management by all participants in the process.

2. Estimation of the cost of the technical equipment of the room stock should be carried out on the basis of demand and market trends. This is especially true for telephony, Internet access, pay TV and information systems. The manager who decides to equip the rooms with innovative technologies must be aware of the services most requested by guests and the latest industry trends. A vivid example is a hotel that spent tens of thousands of dollars to install a wired LAN in the rooms, became a hostage to the fact that the main business contingent coming to the hotel requires WiFi access. Business travelers using laptops to access the Internet are more demanding than they were a few years ago. It is not worth reminding that almost all mobile computers have long been equipped with a WiFi adapter.
3. There is an erroneous opinion in the Russian hotel industry that any communication between hoteliers can harm their own business. The mentality does not allow us to talk openly about the process of doing business, which significantly slows down the development of the sphere as such. There is a serious advantage in the Western management model, which is not yet widespread in our country - communication. Any experience in carrying out reconstruction can be useful to the hotelier. Advice received from a hotel that has undergone renovation will help you avoid the classic "rake" that you can step on. And do not think that choosing a certain shape of a door handle is a secret know-how that will reduce the competitiveness of your hotel. Mutual recommendations are mutually beneficial and allow you to correctly invest in the reconstruction process of the facility.

4. Project evaluation consists not only in budget planning of all forthcoming transformations. An analysis should be carried out not only in terms of costs, but also in terms of the real need for phased reconstruction. It is necessary to understand how expedient it is to carry out planned repairs without closing the hotel and stopping the reception of guests. In some cases, an object that was closed for a short period of time later “starts” from a much more advantageous position than the one that carried out phased work. Conversely, if the competition is high enough, and the budget does not allow the hotel to be closed for some time, there is no other choice but reconstruction in the process of work.

5. The main paradox and complexity of the renovation of many hotels with a pronounced seasonality is that the main influx of funds that can be invested in renovation falls on the high season. Those. when it is most problematic to stop the operation of the hotel and start repairs. The accumulation of funds is not always possible, and by the time of low load, when it is necessary to start renovation, there are no savings left. Best Option there will be a decision to start the reconstruction immediately after the high season, when the flow of customers has already decreased, and the funds have not been spent on operational needs.

6. Hiring a general contractor for the renovation can be an option for an owner with no experience in the hospitality industry. However, attracting a construction company that has not previously implemented the reconstruction of hotels can be a decisive failure. Therefore, when choosing a contractor, special attention should be paid to references from the latter's clients. The specificity of the hotel renovation lies primarily in a special approach to cleanliness and the maximum possible sound insulation. As a rule, contractor companies that have not previously carried out such orders are unable to cope with the task presented, and as a result, there is a loss in the quality of service and dissatisfaction with guests. In this case, the choice of materials for equipment should be under special control by the customer. It's no secret that many companies easily reduce the cost of a project by replacing higher-quality materials with surrogate ones. In the hotel industry, there are clear requirements for equipment, to give up which means to lose a significant share of profit and quality.

7. There is a popular belief that arguing with a guest designer is bad form. That the invited experts are working on the project much more deeply, based on experience and their own taste. Nevertheless, when implementing a hotel project, the main emphasis is on comfort for a typical client, whose taste is quite predictable and close to the classical understanding of comfort. And if we are not talking about the frills of a creative boutique hotel, then fair remarks about overly flashy colors are quite acceptable. The joint decision of the design team should determine the direction and style of the interior, and the task of the designer is to implement a solution that corresponds to the concept of the hotel, the segment in which it operates and the generally accepted understanding of comfort.

The number of tourists and business people visiting big cities country is constantly growing, and the hotel business is developing at a rapid pace. Tour operators are talking about a shortage of hotels of all levels, so it is not surprising that the services for the reconstruction of buildings of old hotels are in high demand.

In addition to the reconstruction of existing hotel buildings, the practice of renovation of old buildings into mini-hotels and guest houses is widespread. In any case, overhaul and rebuilding has several advantages over building from scratch.

Economic feasibility of reconstruction

1. Specialists of the company "Eskpertstroy" calculated that the reconstruction of the building into a hotel may be cheaper than new construction by 40-50%, and this is a lot of money. The exact figures can be determined after carrying out design and survey work and assessing the condition of the soil, foundations, load-bearing structures of the existing building.
2. During the reconstruction, it is possible to significantly increase the useful area of ​​​​the building due to extensions and superstructures.
3. Another argument in favor of saving construction costs is the use of existing engineering networks and connections.
4. To coordinate a reconstructed object, a much smaller amount of documentation is required, which significantly saves time and money for the owners.
5. And most importantly, as a result of the reconstruction of an old building into a hotel, it is possible to profitably invest in a modern hotel located in the historical center or in another place attractive for business.

The specifics of works on the reconstruction of buildings

Our experience shows that the design and reconstruction of obsolete buildings is much more complicated than conventional construction and requires specific resources - knowledge, skills and specialists. In order to transform a building with its own unique style into a modern and comfortable hotel, architects and builders need to find a balance between the past and the future.

The development and implementation of reconstruction projects requires non-standard approaches - original ideas, engineering and architectural solutions. To preserve the aesthetics of ancient facades requires a deep knowledge of modern materials. Among them, you need to find those that will be compatible with the original ones.

A Satisfying Result

The results of the work of the Expertstroy team of specialists are modernized buildings with a unique style of their own, well-thought-out redevelopment, a modern level of energy saving and comfort.

Advantages

Profitable investment. The cost of reconstructing a residential building is less than the cost of demolition and construction of an object similar in characteristics. This allows you to use better materials, maximize the level of comfort and functionality.

Possibility to save the building. Important for those located in the city center, with architectural or historical value of houses. The old buildings are distinguished by strong load-bearing and enclosing structures, non-standard architectural solutions. Reconstruction allows you to use such objects, updating them, improving their characteristics.

Timing. It will be faster to reconstruct an existing building than to demolish it and build a new one. At the same time, it can continue to be used for its intended purpose during: it depends on the plan of its organization.

Construction company "Olympia" reconstructs residential buildings. We perform:

• home inspection, research. Our employees will assess the condition of the building, collect technical documentation on it, the territory adjacent to it. Such a survey determines the potential, the possibilities of reconstruction, allows you to make a list of mandatory work;
• design. Project documentation describes the requirements for technologies, materials, equipment that will be used during the reconstruction. It includes drawings, plans, materials for visualizing the object after completion of work, cost estimates with prices for building materials, services, work organization plan, etc.;
• preparation. Dismantling of worn-out structures, equipment, organization of supply of the facility, supply of special equipment and tools;
• carrying out the main works: are carried out according to the project in the order established by it;
• delivery of the object: it can be carried out in stages or after the completion of all work on the object.

Reconstruction works of hotels and inns

During modernization, work is carried out that is associated with a change in the technical and economic indicators of the facility, improving the culture and quality of guest service, and the comfort of their stay. Before designing the reconstruction of the hotel, our team will carry out a complete analysis of the constructed building and determine the level of deterioration of the structures of the structure. We will develop design documents, as well as obtain permits from the responsible state authorities for the implementation of installation work and subsequent commissioning of the facility.

Our team will carry out the reconstruction of the hotel, including:

• inspection of the building to determine its technical condition;
• design implementation;
• coordination of project documentation in supervisory authorities;
• construction of extensions, superstructures, increase in the number of storeys;
• foundation repair;
• strengthening of load-bearing structures;
• dismantling and installation of partitions, metal structures;
• implementation of facade works;
• modernization of the roof and truss system;
• beautification of the surrounding area.

During the reconstruction of hotels, we will also deal with the installation of natural and forced ventilation in the rooms, the installation of fire alarms, we will ensure the temperature regime in the premises at the level of established standards and with the minimization of maintenance costs. Comfortable conditions for both visitors and staff will be created in the rooms and other premises of the hotel.

As part of the restoration of hotels and inns, when work is carried out in the relevant building, we recreate the original interior, think over the renewal of furniture, decor, flooring materials, walls and ceilings. These services involve the restoration of their surfaces, as well as doors, windows, fireplaces, etc. Qualitatively carried out restoration of the building makes it possible to emphasize the status and prestige of the institution. The cost of building restoration services, of course, is affected by the age and condition of the premises, the complexity and volume of the work to be done. During the reconstruction of the building into a hotel, we strictly adhere to all construction, sanitary, fire, environmental, legislative norms and requirements.

Reconstruction, as well as redevelopment, is associated with many nuances, for example, when developing a reconstruction project that affects load-bearing walls, it must be remembered that the width of the hotel room should be at least 2.4 m, and the width of the hallways should be at least 1.05 m, according to SNIP standards. In addition, before creating a hotel redevelopment project, the developer discusses with the Customer the composition and functional purpose of the premises, which, according to GOST R50645-94, may include: residential, administrative, storage facilities, recreation, catering establishments, trade enterprises, medical care, staff rooms, rooms for washing and drying clothes. In addition to premises of economic importance, the hotel may provide for a cultural and leisure and sports and recreation area. Bars, dance floors, restaurants, swimming pools, saunas, billiards, etc. can be located in the premises for cultural, entertainment and leisure purposes. If the redevelopment of the hotel is designed to increase the status and increase the level of comfort of the institution, then the redevelopment project can be supplemented with premises for business activities and meetings. This group of premises includes business centers, representative offices of companies, conference rooms, demonstration and exhibition halls with expositions, machine bureaus, etc. The level of the hotel is determined not only by the luxury of the rooms, but also by the presence of certain premises that expand the scope of services of the institution. When developing a hotel redevelopment project, special attention should be paid to the spatial structure, aimed at ensuring a clear separation of the flows of guests, staff and visitors to public areas. This excludes the combination or intersection of industrial and economic routes with the routes of guests and visitors to public areas working for the city. If the redevelopment project provides for the inclusion of groups of public premises in the hotel, then in this case, isolated entrances from the street are arranged. During the reconstruction and redevelopment of hotels, special attention is paid to the arrangement of space for the disabled. This includes equipped rooms, entrance openings, elevators, parking lots with specialized devices. A special role in the reconstruction and redevelopment of the hotel is played by the quality and level of reliability of communications. All engineering systems, whether it be power supply, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, water supply, sewerage, telephone network and the Internet, must be carefully thought out.
