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