Hotel Design Management – Objectives, content, measures, and reviews for each phase of hotel design management (1).

The hotel owner’s approach to hotel design management

Hotel owners set up a hotel design engineering management department, responsible for presiding over the design phase of the project management of the overall work, and hired expert consultants and equipped engineers, forming a design management department.

Hotel engineering design work is divided into four stages: program design, initial design, construction drawing design and professional design  (including decorative design, landscape environment design), design management in stages.

First, the program design stage

Manage goals

Through process control, the design unit provides the design documents in line with the design contract, meets the approved project proposal and the planning points and planning design conditions provided by the government authorities, and obtains the approval of the competent departments.

Manage the content

(a) To assist employers in bidding for program design.

(b) Collect and provide the basic information and conditions required for the design of the program and communicate with the design unit for this purpose.

(c) Tracking and managing program design.

(d) Review of the program design and feasibility study submitted by the design unit: whether the project proposal requirements are met, the planning elements and planning design conditions of the administrative authority, the employer’s request, and the submission of the evaluation report to the employer.

(e) Review the design investment estimates submitted by the design unit and submit the investment estimates to the employer.

Key management measures

(a) Preparation of a tender document for the design of the program, defining the size, functional and technical requirements, depth requirements, and investment control requirements of the program design.

(b) The Design Management Department will assist employers in checking and confirming the progress of the design unit or the tender unit by means of mutual visits, document exchange, or fax.

(c) The employer entrusts qualified experts to review the program design, submit a review report and submit approval to the project decision-making department for the design of the program. The project management company shall follow up in time and issue an itemized cost estimate.

The main content of the program design review or selection

(a) Whether the program design maintains continuity with the approved conceptual design.

(b) Whether the program design meets the requirements of the planning elements and planning and design conditions of the construction administrative department.

(c) Whether the program design is coordinated with the surrounding construction and construction work.

(d) Whether the program design meets the depth of the investment estimate.

(e) The technical feasibility of the construction of the various professional programs and the feasibility of the construction duration.

(f) Whether professional programs can guide the initial design of the expansion.

(g) Whether the professional programs meet the technical specifications of the project proposal.

(h) Coherence of professional programs.

(i) Whether the structural scheme design meets the national regulations of structural safety and the requirements of the architectural scheme design.

(j) Whether the design of electromechanical programs meets the comfort requirements of the office and operators.

(k) Whether electromechanical and construction program designs meet energy-saving requirements.

(l) Electrical and mechanical programs should facilitate property management and maintenance.

(m) The design of the external environment should meet the overall architectural style and overall environmental requirements.

(n) Whether the transport program meets the driving, parking, and emergency evacuation requirements for various vehicles.

(o) Municipal programs should meet the surrounding municipal conditions and planning requirements.

(p) Interior decoration programs should be people-centered and meet environmental quality requirements.

(q) The whole program should reflect modern civilization and meet the requirements of employers.

The objectives, content, measures, and evaluation of each stage of hotel design management are divided into (1) to (4), respectively, the design stage, the initial design stage, the construction drawing design stage, and the professional design stage, please pay attention to the content.
