Project purchasing requirements
Hotel construction combines many purchasing packages: structural materials, finishes, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, furniture, lighting and guestroom equipment. The project must meet construction specifications, hotel-brand requirements, safety rules and opening dates. Direct manufacturer sourcing therefore needs a package-by-package plan instead of a simple search for the lowest unit price.
Procurement strategy
Start with bills of materials and equipment schedules. Rank items by lead time, certification requirements and sample needs. Ask manufacturers to quote identical specifications, then prepare a landed-cost and risk comparison. For projects in Montréal, Miami, Panama City or Punta Cana, arrival ports and jobsite delivery costs can affect the best sourcing strategy.
Key checks
- Build a construction-phase purchasing matrix
- Approve samples and hotel-brand standards
- Coordinate manufacturing, customs and site delivery
