  • Assign tasks, track progress, and ensure the team adheres to timelines and quality standards.
  • Budget & Financial Management

  • Develop, monitor, and control the renovation budget, ensuring all costs are tracked and managed effectively.
  • Negotiate contracts with contractors, vendors, and suppliers, ensuring value for money while maintaining quality standards.

  • Provide regular budget updates to senior management, ensuring timely adjustments to stay within financial limits.
  • Construction & Renovation Oversight

  • Oversee all aspects of the renovation, including guest rooms, common areas, amenities, and back‑of‑house spaces.

  • Ensure timely delivery of materials and services required for the renovation.
  • Risk Management & Compliance

  • Identify and mitigate potential risks throughout the renovation project, including safety, financial, and operational risks.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant health, safety, building, and zoning codes, as well as environmental regulations.
  • Ensure that the project is completed on time and without significant delays.
  • Project Communication

  • Serve as the primary point of contact between hotel management, ownership, contractors, and other stakeholders.
  • Provide regular updates to senior leadership and ownership regarding progress, challenges, and milestones.
  • Communicate effectively with hotel management teams to ensure that renovation activities align with operational goals.
  • Scheduling & Timelines

  • Develop and maintain a detailed project schedule, ensuring deadlines are met and any delays are addressed immediately.
  • Coordinate with hotel management to ensure renovation activities cause minimal disruption to hotel operations and guest experience.
  • Manage and adjust timelines as necessary due to unforeseen challenges.
  • Post‑Renovation Review

  • Oversee the final inspection and handover of the completed renovation to hotel management.
  • Ensure that all renovation work is thoroughly inspected and signed off before hotel reopening.
  • Conduct a post‑project evaluation to identify lessons learned and ensure continuous improvement for future renovations.
