Full Hotel Refurbishment
Conspector delivers complete hotel refurbishment programmes as a trusted main contractor, coordinating works across bedrooms, bathrooms, public areas, back-of-house and ancillary facilities.
From Pre-Construction to Final Handover
A full hotel refurbishment is a complex programme requiring careful planning, trade coordination and clear communication with the wider project team. Conspector acts as a main contractor, coordinating architects, interior designers, procurement teams and specialist subcontractors to deliver works safely, efficiently and to the required standard. Our Building Surveyor-led approach supports accurate pre-construction cost planning, early identification of scope risks and a structured delivery methodology from mobilisation through to final handover. We take a collaborative approach with all project stakeholders, maintaining clear communication, quality control and a single point of accountability throughout the programme.
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.
Hotel Refurbishment Scope of Works
A full hotel refurbishment programme can involve works across every area of the property. Conspector has the capability to manage and deliver coordinated refurbishment works across the following areas:
Bedrooms
Strip-out, wall finishes, flooring, joinery, in-room HVAC coordination, electrical works and FF&E installation.
Hotel Bathrooms
Partitioning, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware installation, plumbing coordination, ventilation, FF&E and electrical works.
Corridors & circulation areas
Flooring, doors, fire door upgrades, wall finishes, lighting, signage and joinery.
Reception & Public Areas
Fit-out and refurbishment works coordinated around brand standards, operational requirements and design specifications.
Reception & Public Areas
Partitioning, flooring, plumbing coordination, ventilation, joinery, FF&E, electrical works and passive fire protection interfaces.
Front of House
Refurbishment and fit-out works for restaurant, bar, lobby and ancillary front-of-house spaces.
Hotel Bathroom Refurbishment
Full hotel refurbishments are often connected to a wider rebrand, brand conversion, franchise upgrade, change of operator or repositioning of the property within the market. Conspector has experience delivering refurbishment works within this context, working alongside brand consultants, interior designers, procurement teams and franchise representatives to help ensure the finished property meets the required brand standards and is ready for relaunch on programme.
