Hospitality Design Management

Hospitality Design Management

Hospitality design management can be summarised very succinctly by saying it’s the business side of design. But what does that actually mean?

Hospitality design management is responsible for the design elements of a hospitality project and ensuring the concept is achieved, from inception all the way to the completion of the project. In the industry of hospitality design, this means working with hospitality businesses such as hotels.

As hospitality design specialists we coordinate the design elements, and the ultimate goal is to make sure the concept design is achieved. We aim to keep the client’s interests as the central factor and assure that the client’s desired end product is produced successfully.

Hospitality design management controls, enables, structures, and organises the creative process.

This means we monitor ongoing processes, take strategic decisions, and put in place strategies to enable innovation, creativity, and effective design most successfully. This is achieved by an overall knowledge and understanding of the day to day of the project, as well as on the ground coordination with not only consultants, but also the contractors and sub-contractors, such as joinery and stone. In some instances, we also work with clients who are the contractor, whereby we provide hospitality design management which helps the contractor translate the interior design of their clients project into reality.

The benefits of a hospitality design manager

As a hospitality design manager we really understand design, making strong design decisions while ensuring the client’s best interests are considered, being at heart of the design.

Hospitality design management makes use of project management, design, strategy, and supply chain techniques as a regular and important part of their role.

Our successful hospitality design projects

We have recently acted as client-side design manager on a hospitality project at Westin Hotel, resulting in the successful completion of the project. In this instance, our role was to establish and maintain effective and efficient communication with the consultant team and ensure the smooth transfer of information to the contractors on site so that they could build.

We are currently undertaking a project on behalf of our client, the contractor, where we are on-site in Mayfair in order to translate the client’s Stage 3 Pack into a fit-out Stage 4 Pack, so that they in turn can take it to Stage 5, construction, and subsequently build from it. We’re excited about the future of this project, so watch this space.
