Ensure stage gated design approvals and BIM readiness before start of construction
Drive portfolio-level synergies across design, procurement, and execution
Champion opportunities to standardize/consolidate procurement across projects to unlock scale benefits
Build strategic partnerships with a select pool of designers, consultants, and vendors to ensure alignment on design principles leading to speed, and cost efficiency
Champion a “manufacturing mindset” — identify opportunities for standardized, modular and repeatable processes across projects
Evaluate co-locating design teams to accelerate turnaround and institutionalize PHV design principles
Improve project IRRs and enhance long-term asset value from an owner’s perspective
1.Lead an industrialized approach to Hospitality Development
Institutionalize feedback loops and playbooks for continuous improvement
Lead value engineering opportunities via benchmarked backed rationalization/performance-neutral substitution (e.g. local made items vs imported items)
Enable design differentiation for select high customer impact elements (e.g., lobbies, F&B concepts, interiors)
Reengineer design and construction processes to significantly crunch development timelines and reduce total cost
Set up stage-gate governance and project control systems to ensure timelines and budgets are met
Champion opportunities for prefabrication and modularization where IRR accretive (via reduction of onsite labor requirement, activity completion timelines)
Collaborate with top vendor partners to identify and/or create cost take out opportunities including process mapping, optimizing cost structure etc.
Reduce time-to-market and recover margins during development
Overcome resistance to new practices by training, reinforcing and building organizational conviction
Drive cultural transformation in how the organization thinks about hospitality portfolio development
Lead standardization of low customer impact elements (e.g. non-customer-facing elements such as shafts, MEP systems, back-of-house layouts)
2.Design Standardization and Smart Customization
