About this building

Hotel owners, asset managers and the design teams putting a property improvement plan together. This is a twin we built and keep, not an account we hold. Finishes apply to live geometry and are clipped to the space they belong to, so the corridor changes without the guest rooms changing with it. Each patch reports its own area.

The problem: a sample is nine inches, a corridor is not

Carpet is chosen from a sample board and then laid down a hundred feet of corridor under different light. The pattern repeat, the seam and the way it meets each doorway are things you discover after the order is placed.

A property improvement plan also has to say which floors close in which order, and that sequencing is worth more than the finish decision itself.

What the twin holds

Guest floors, corridors and room types as real spaces, so a finish can be applied to a corridor and stop cleanly at every doorway.

What came out of it

Two carpets seen at full corridor length, an area per floor and per room type, and a sequence placed across the fiscal years the budget covers.

Two carpets in the corridor

USE CASE

Replacement finishes applied at corridor length, each reporting its area. A guest floor corridor with the existing carpet on it, then two replacement finishes applied in turn to the corridor alone, stopping cleanly at each doorway. The run length and the area come off the model as the finish goes on. The same finish is then carried into a guest room to see it against the case goods, and the room is left showing both options side by side.

The PIP by fiscal year. Floors sequenced and priced across the years the budget actually covers.

USE CASE

Housekeeping and engineering log against the room. Rooms with the most callouts are the rooms the refurbishment programme should reach first, and that case is made from the record.

  • Choosing a finish:
    See it at corridor length rather than on a nine inch sample.

  • Pricing the floor:
    The area is measured per floor and per room type.

  • Planning a PIP:
    Sequence the floors, price each one, and keep the rooms out of service to a minimum.
