WELCOME TO THE TEAM Whole project approach

Aspirations to reality

Inclusive collaboration

Founded in 1915 by Leo A. Daly, Sr., our firm rose to national prominence for pioneering the use of interdisciplinary project teams: a “whole project” approach bringing an elite holistic team for personalized service and design innovation with forward-thinking momentum beyond the latest trends, technology and sustainability.

It is critical to match the aspirations realized during the discovery journey with the realities of the market to make the project work. This is where our team stands out above the rest.

Cllients, owner representatives, operators, hotel staff and members of the surrounding communities are integral members of the team with individual experiences and perspectives.

Collaboration with these diverse and influential groups sets the foundation of our process to understand project goals with respect to return on investment, functionality, operations, aesthetics and schedule.

Discovery—what inspires you?

It is a priority to listen to your vision and to hear about your project aspirations, whether that includes a focused ROI, an ideal guest experience, desired project accolades or environmental goals.

Your goals establish the guidelines that inform design decisions throughout the project. The distinctive and talented people on our team will create a custom-made experience to bring you along the journey of discovery that sets the stage for your project to unfold.

Balancing captivating and luxurious design with the demands of hospitality construction schedules and phased construction ensures that we maintain project schedules and budgets through design phases, agency approvals, and project completion. Additionally, an analysis of logistical complications with supply chains specific to the project and location allows us to make strategic recommendations based on availability, access, and price upfront.

Team continuity A dedicated and tailor-made project team will be involved with you from kickoff and project planning through project completion. This continuity best serves your interest, so the goals, direction, and design intent remain intact throughout the entire process.

A collaborative design approach includes listening, sharing ideas, open communication and discovery.

CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES Scheduling and approvals

Supply chain concerns

Designing to a budget

Every project has specific requirements and schedule allowances for the approval process, and we proactively and openly communicate to stay on track. We closely monitor scheduled milestones and provide an initial project schedule with the approval timeline allowance.

This helps to identify and adjust possible issues that could impact the issuing of deliverables. Coordination of owner and brand approval timelines is also considered.

Supply chain delays that impact FF&E and finish materials arriving on site are a constant challenge. Delays in receipt of these items is critical to the hotel being able to turn rooms back into service. It can impact not only the cost of the project but the revenue stream from guestrooms remaining off the market longer than anticipated.

Budget overrides can be a challenge especially given the current rate of inflation. We will phase our deliverables and recommend that a purchasing agent and project manager review the design at the end of each phase for conformance to the project budget.

This cost evaluation and revisions during the design and documentation process help to avoid the need to add time to value engineer the project.

We recommend to our clients that information related to finish materials, whether provided by the owner or contractor, be reviewed with the contractor and purchasing agent in early phases of the project. Having their feedback and allowing them to reach out to vendors in advance of order dates will help alleviate project delays due to long lead times.

In addition, we recommend submitting our design presentations for review as a part of a contractor’s preconstruction services. Early review and evaluation allow for adjustments as each phase progresses and avoids the need for delays associated with those activities.

Every project presents unique opportunites. Our team knows how to navigate the most common challenges.

ABOVE AND BEYOND Your vision for a project, constructability, ease of maintenance and operation should all be considered to truly instill quality into a project. Our method of providing quality in our work rests on employing professional staff and continuing to educate and train them; staffing each project with an appropriate number of experienced personnel; and staffing each project with strong leadership to provide well-planned, reviewed, and coordinated designs.

Our key objective is to seek excellence for our clients in every aspect of our work and practice.

Project management

Quality, a ‘state of mind’

Our team includes power-house project managers to coordinate the efforts of the project team, monitoring progress and the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) reviews. They are the primary contacts for management coordination and issues related to progress, budget, and schedule. Our project managers will:

Our firm views quality as a ‘state of mind’, pervading every thought, every decision, and every action to ensure complete, accurate, well-thought-out project delivery.

Established at the beginning of the project, a project quality plan is created to confirm that all services, studies, designs, drawings and specifications expected by the client are performed and provided on time and per appropriate professional design standards. Our quality management program consists of two distinct, yet interrelated components.

Quality Assurance—where we plan systematic actions and Quality Control— where we regularly review each team’s actions, providing ongoing input.

•

Use a systematic approach for planning process approvals and quality control

•

Create “what if” scenarios for discussion

•

Plan for frequent coordination of the team of consultants to highlight potential issues early in the processes

•

Keep open items at the top of our agenda and ensures issues are tracked and closed out

Independent peer reviews

Digital practice workflow

Independent peer reviews ensure objectivity. Senior personnel, not directly involved with the project, perform quality control checks at all project milestones.

Reviewers are notified in advance of scheduled reviews via automated status reports. These reports allow constant monitoring and alert project leaders about upcoming deadlines and whether quality checks have been scheduled and assigned. Finally, before a drawing or specification is delivered to a client, the project’s quality control manager works with project leads to review submissions for oversights or inconsistencies.

Our digital practice workflow allows us to increase the level of coordination and accuracy of our increasingly complex and fast-paced projects. The primary digital practice tools that have positively impacted our project management and quality control programs include several tools: REVIT, Blue-beam Revu, NEWFORMA, Spec Source, DesignSpec and Trello.
