About Conspector
Conspector is a specialist hotel refurbishment contractor delivering high-quality refurbishment, fit-out and remedial works for hotel operators across Scotland.
Who We Are
Conspector Contracts is a specialist hotel refurbishment and fit-out contractor, founded in 2022 and based in Edinburgh. We deliver projects across Scotland and the Central Belt, providing hotel bedroom and bathroom refurbishment programmes, full hotel fit-out works, fire safety remedial works and FF&E installation for budget, mid-range, boutique and luxury hotel environments. Our specialism is deliberate. By focusing specifically on hotel and leisure projects, every programme we plan, price and deliver is shaped around a clear understanding of the operational pressures hotels face — from guest disruption and programme sequencing to brand standards, trading continuity and revenue protection.
Why Hotels Choose Conspector
Hotel refurbishment works require more than trade delivery. They require careful planning, site control, clear communication and a strong understanding of live operational environments. Conspector delivers full hotel refurbishment programmes across guest rooms, bathrooms, public areas, ancillary spaces and back-of-house areas, providing a structured main contractor approach from initial survey and cost planning through to delivery and handover. Led by a qualified Building Surveyor, we bring technical building knowledge, early risk identification and professional reporting to each project, helping hotel operators protect programme, quality, guest experience and commercial performance.
Experience Within Recognised Hotel Brand Environments
Conspector has delivered refurbishment works within hotel environments operating under recognised national and international brands. These projects require disciplined site management, attention to detail and a quality of finish aligned with brand standards, guest expectations and operational requirements.
Fully Accredited and Compliant
Conspector holds accreditation with Veriforce CHAS and Constructionline, allowing us to demonstrate health, safety and supply chain compliance requirements.
How We Work
As a specialist hotel refurbishment contractor, Conspector understands the challenges of working in live hotel environments. We coordinate closely with hotel management to plan works around occupancy, guest movement and front-of-house operations, helping to minimise disruption while maintaining progress on site.
- Noise management, including restricted working hours where required
- Dust management, including screening, extraction and protection
- Programme sequencing, typically room-by-room or stack-by stack
- Clear segregation of work areas from guest and staff routes
- Quality-controlled handover and snagging process.
- Isolation of service zones and night works where required
How We Structure Delivery
Full hotel refurbishment programmes are not always delivered in fully vacant properties. Conspector structures delivery around the operational and commercial requirements of each hotel, balancing capital investment, programme efficiency, guest experience, operational continuity and the long-term value of the asset.
Vacant Property Delivery
Vacant Possession is where the hotel is offline for the duration of the works, allowing the full scope to be delivered concurrently without the constraints of a live environment.
This approach offers greater programme efficiency and reduced complexity and is particularly well suited to properties undergoing full repositioning, rebranding. Conspector has the capability to work across all property types, including historic buildings, change of use conversions and properties transitioning into hotel operation for the first timely across the property without the constraints of a live environment.
Phased Delivery
Phased delivery allows the hotel to remain fully or partially operational throughout the works. Refurbishment can be sequenced room-by-room, floor-by-floor, stack-by-stack or area-by-area to protect trading revenue and maintain operational continuity. This approach requires careful programme management, clear site segregation, stricter controls and close daily coordination with hotel management to minimise disruption to guests, staff and hotel operations.
