Introduction
At AECOM we offer a range
of services that meet the
development and asset
management needs of
hotel owners, operators and
developers from initial feasibility
through to planning, design,construction and operation.
Before there is a design, there isan idea for a hotel. Assessing thefeasibility of a hotel developmentrequires you to understand whatthe market opportunity, needs
of the market and cost of thedevelopment are.
This guide explainsthe relationshipbetween thedesign and the
costs of hoteldevelopment anddemonstratesthe benefits ofobtaining cost
advice throughouteach stage ofthe developmentlifecycle.

Based on outline informationabout the type and size of hotelproduct and the amenities that
the market requires, the costconsultant is able to provide aninitial cost estimate to informthe development appraisal.
During the design phase,understanding the way in which
the design of a hotel can influencethe cost can help ensure that thecorrect choices are made at theearliest stages of a project andwill avoid expensive re-design andcost in use.
By providing an analysis of cost
by area and function, the costconsultants advice will ensurethat costs are being allocatedto those parts of the hotel thatwill deliver the best return oninvestment over the lifecycleof the asset.
Once the design is completethe next step is to procure acontractor to undertake the
construction of the hotel. Thisrequires an understanding ofthe various procurement optionsavailable to achieve the rightbalance between price and risk.
This guide does not provide all
of the answers but it will providethe reader with an understandingof the important relationshipbetween the design and thecost of a hotel and the benefitsof obtaining cost advice at eachstage of the development process.

Design guidelines
Food and beverage outlets
Food and beverage outlets andrestaurant requirements vary bylocation and hotel type. However,
a good rule of thumb is to providerestaurant seats ranging from0.75 to 1.2 times the number ofguestrooms. This does not takeinto account specific requirementsfor conferences, functions orbanqueting, for which additional
provision will need to be made in,or adjacent to, the function suites.
Most luxury hotels will have atleast two restaurants but somehotels operating at the upper levels
of the market can offer up to four orfive different types of restaurants.Generally, there will be a main all-day dining area that serves as themain breakfast area in the morningand can be converted into lunchand dinner venues with different
settings. The restaurant diningarea is calculated on the basis ofan area-per-seat allowance. Thisallowance varies between about1.5 to 2.5m per seat, dependingon the style and mode of operationof the venue. Further allowancesshould be made for the service
stations and circulation spacewithin restaurants.

Lounges and bars
A hotel is also likely to have anumber of lounges and bars. Theseating capacity allowance for
these ranges from 0.5 to 0.9 timesthe number of hotel guestrooms.The area calculation is made on anarea-per-seat basis.
Kitchens, storage and supportareas are excluded from thesearea calculations. Kitchens are
calculated as food preparationareas and form part of the backof house and support areas.
Meeting and function rooms
Ballroom / banquet hallWhile many major hotel chainshave their own design and area
guidelines for the capacitiesof a ballroom / banquet hall, aminimum size would be in theregion of 750m. The generalallowance for calculation of thenet area of the ballroom / banquethall is in the region of 1.20m per
seat. The minimum total number ofseats is the equivalent of 1.5 to 2.0times the number of guestrooms.

Junior ballroomand function rooms
In addition to a main ballroom /banquet hall, the hotel may havea junior ballroom and smaller
function rooms. A junior ballroomtypically has a seating capacityof 400 to 500 people.
Function rooms that double up asmeeting rooms should be a seriesof rooms catering for groups of20 to 50 people. There should be at
least three of this type of functionroom. In addition, there may bea provision for a boardroom witha size of around 50m. The totalcapacity of the function / meetingrooms should be in the proportionof approximately 0.5 times the
number of hotel rooms.Essential for all function suitesis the concept of flexible meetingspaces, allowing for changesin shape, and size by meansof acoustic, sliding / foldingpartitions. Each potential
function area must be able to beserviced separately.
Pre-function areas /break-out space
These should be approximately33% of the area of the ballroom,banquet hall, junior ballroom,
function and meeting rooms.
Support areas
All of the above areas excludesupporting areas such as furniturestores, restrooms, general storage,
AV control rooms, interpretersrooms and so on. As a rule ofthumb, these would be allowed ona square metre per seat basis.

General public areas
The general public area of a hotelmay include:
(a) Business centre, including A reception / waiting area
A secretarial area
A small conference /meeting room
Small booths / ofces
(b) Health club / fitness centreSpace should be allocated for:
An entry area
Common facilities such as
reception, examining room andnurses room
A beauty centre
A mens and womens spa
A tness centre and gymnasium
A spa restaurant / juice bar
Employee facilities such as
lockers, lounge and restroom
(c) Commercial spaceThese spaces are often let out.Often there are around four to five
such outlets in the hotel.
(d) Front lobby and front officeThis covers the main entrancelobby, which should be a generousspace. The area allowance iscalculated on the basis of a squaremetre per hotel room. Supporting
the main entrance lobby is thelobby waiting area. An allowanceis made for 20 people on the basisof 2.3m per person. These areasgenerally have higher or double-volume ceilings and pricing shouldtake this into account.

Provisions should be made formale and female restrooms, withthe female restroom slightly
larger to allow extra space for avanity area. A janitors room isalso required to store cleaningequipment. A further allocationis made for a reception desk areatogether with a front office. As aguide, 1.75m length is assumed for
each workstation at the receptiondesk. One workstation is requiredfor every 75 rooms. A width of1.5m is allowed for working spacebehind the counter and a width of4m is allowed for guest queues infront of the counter.
Back of house, supportand services areas
These are the non-public areas ofthe hotel. There should be minimalinterior designers input for these
areas, except for some of theoffices. The spaces occupied underthis category include:
(a) Administration andservice areasThe administration andservice areas include various
departmental offices, such as:
Front ofce support containing
the office of the front officemanager and credit manager,telephone operators room,cashiers room and counting room.
Safe-deposit box, stationerystorage, general office and pantry.

Food preparation and service areasinclude support spaces for variousdepartments, such as:
Food preparation, main and
support kitchens containingproduction kitchens supportingthe banquet hall and function
rooms, kitchens for the variousrestaurants, bakery / pastryshop and offices for theexecutive chef and roomservice manager. Areacalculations are generallymade on the basis of area perseat. Alternatively, as a general
guide, an area equivalent to 40%of restaurant net areas wouldmake up the kitchen areas.
Storage areas containing
storage for dry food, refrigeratedfood (cold rooms), beverages,
refrigerated beverages,ballroom liquor, the service bar,silverware, chinaware,glassware, utensils andstewards and janitors rooms.Area calculations are generallymade on the basis of an
area per seat for food storagesupporting the kitchens, andarea per key for general storage.Generally, storage areas will bein the region of 30 to 50% of nettotal food preparation areas.

Area calculations for
housekeeping and laundryareas are generally made on
the basis of area per key ofthe hotel. Requirements forlaundry facilities will varybetween locations and betweenoperators. In many instances,the laundering of bedsheetsand towels is outsourced. If so,
the requirements for in-houselaundries are limited to a smallnumber of domestic machines.
Engineering areas containing
offices of the engineeringdirector, assistant engineer,general maintenance and
secretary, paint shop, carpentryshop, upholstery shop, plumbing /refrigeration shop, electricalshop, key shop, TV repair shop,parts storage, energymanagement computer roomand janitors store.
Mechanical areas usually cover
two major locations, one ofwhich is normally in the
basement, the other on theupper level or roof space ofthe hotel.
Mechanical areas in the
basement contain theengineers control room,engineers office, toilet and
locker, janitor room, boilerrooms, fire control pump rooms,electrical sub-stations,electrical rooms and wet risertanks.
Mechanical areas in the
upper levels can contain the
air handling units, domesticwater tanks, sprinkler tanks,wet riser tanks, condenserwater storage tanks, electrical,switch and power rooms,although these may also behoused at the basement level if
space allows.

Using functional area datafrom previous projects and fromoperators standard requirements,
it is possible to create a reasonablyaccurate assessment of the spacerequirements for a hotel.
This can form the basis ofpreliminary budget calculationsfor a hotel of a particular standardwith a stated number of rooms and
ancillary functions (restaurants,fitness, spa, banqueting and so on)in advance of the development ofany design.
The hotel area schedule must,therefore, be based on realisticnumbers. Any gross over or under
allowance of areas would cause adistortion of the forecast cost.
The area allowances must ofcourse be tested against otherhotels of similar standard in the
geographical region, to checkthat it is competitive. Ideally, themarket feasibility study provides asuggested high level area programbased on market requirements.
A preliminary budget costingfor a hotel development can
be generated quite quickly andefficiently, based on data forsimilar existing hotels, designcriteria of major hotels andknowledge of the market. Thisincludes setting the number ofhotel room bays and keys and
the total seating capacitiesfor food and beverage outlets,entertainment lounges, banquet,ballroom and meeting facilities. Itshould also cover the capacity ofthe health club facilities and thesize and number of retail outlets.

Typical total area allowancesfor luxury hotels vary aroundthe world, from circa 80m to
over 120m of gross floor area(excluding parking and externalareas) per bay. Hotels in moreWestern locations tend to havesmaller bedrooms than thosein the Middle East or Asia. A500-bay five-star hotel could
therefore be expected to havea range of gross floor area ofbetween 40,000 to 60,000m.

Hotel total gross area40,000 - 57,000m 100%
Based on the above hotel floorareas, the gross area per bayranges between 80 to 115m.
The net areas of the bedrooms(including bathrooms) variesaccording to geographical location,from a low of about 35m up toabout 55m but typically between40 and 50m net bedroom area is

The major cost drivers of a hoteldevelopment include:
a. Site location, shape, conditions,means of access and visibility
b. Position of the hotel inthe development
c. The shape and form of thebuilding
d. The external facades,particularly the extent ofglazing and cladding
e. The level of sophisticationof building services and fire-protection systems
f. Particular requirements of the
chosen hotel operator
g. Shape and layout of theguestrooms zone, particularly ifthis is a tower
h. The level of provision andfacilities of rooms
i. The storey height ifexceptionally high, it willneed a heavier structure,more complex foundations,additional lifts and fire-fighting installations
j. Location of function rooms.
One major impact on the costof the structure is the locationof the main function room orballroom. The ballroom shouldnot be located directly belowthe hotel guestrooms tower,as it requires column-freespace that is difficult and
expensive to accommodate andis likely to require theintroduction of transferstructures at the base of theguestroom tower

The choice of guest
room configurationcan affect area
efficiency by as
much as 20%
of the grossfloor area.
Another area for carefulconsideration is the location ofthe bank of guest and service
lifts rising up to the guestrooms.These should be located centrallyto the guestroom block and theguest lifts should descend into theentrance lobby, where pedestriantraffic can be monitored by thefront desk.
A third major consideration is theconfiguration of the guestroomblock, particularly if this is inthe form of a tower. Analysisshows that some shapes andconfigurations of a guestroomtower yield more cost-effective
solutions than others. In fact, thechoice of configuration can affectthe area efficiency by as much as20% of the gross floor area.

Ideally, the efficiency of theguestroom zone should be inthe region of 75%for a tightly
designed, double-loadedcorridor layout. However, for asingle- loaded corridor or atriumlayout, the efficiency can dropas low as 60%. Obviously, thehigher the efficiency, the moreeconomical the construction cost.
It is critical to ensure the designis economical without sacrificingthe design intent. Due to themultiplier effect of having manyfloors in the guestroom zone,minor differences or inefficienciescan have a major impact on theconstruction cost.
The following factors must beconsidered:
a. Number of guestroomsper floor
b. Lift location and escape
staircase cores
c. Shape of guestroom tower, as itaffects the wall-to-floor ratios
d. Corridor configuration
COST :39
-
7/21/2019 Hotel Build Cost Guide
40/80
A limiting factor of the number ofguestrooms per floor is the localauthority building code requirement
for fire evacuation, which iscontrolled by the distance betweenfire-escape stairs. In a tower, anoptimum number of guestroomswould be in the region of 16 to 24rooms per floor if only two fire-escape stairs are envisaged.
This ratio also facilitates efficienthousekeeping. Increases in thenumber of rooms per floor cantrigger the need for additionalfire-escape stairs and additionallifts. This in turn may require thelift core to be increased in size,
with its corresponding increasein gross floor and elevationareas leading to an increase inconstruction costs.
A guestroom tower may takevarious plan shapes, ranging fromrectangular to circular, triangular,
curved or offset. It has beenproven that the most efficientshape is generally rectangular,with a double loaded corridorconfiguration.
Curved and circular shapedtowers will involve higher costs
because of non-standard roombays and panelled or facetedglazing. Architects may opt for anapproach to maximise views fromthe guestrooms to accommodatethe often narrow site, but there isa cost premium to this and this
choice should be scrutinised.

The single-loaded corridor configuration is
less efficient as the corridor serves only oneset of guestrooms. Efficiency is in the region of
65% or less.
The double-loaded corridor configuration
is efficient, with one single corridor serving
guestrooms on both sides. Efficiency is in the
region of 70 to 75%.
Typical guestroom layoutGuestroom sizes are generallystandardised. For a five-star hotelit would be rectangular in shape,
in the region of 40 to 50m netarea inclusive of sleeping area andbathroom. Some developers ordesigners may attempt to providelarger and odd-shaped roomswhich may not be economical.
Good workable dimensions are
approximately 4.5m by 9.1m. Thewidth should not be excessive,as it increases the length of thecorridors, the cost of the structureand affects the external walls ofthe bedroom zone.
Examples of differentconfigurations are shown below.

The offset configuration is the most efficient
configuration in terms of accommodatingmore rooms per floor, with minimum effect on
external walls and finishes. Efficiency is in the
region of 75%
The rectangular configuration is not efficient,as it requires additional corridor lengths to
serve end rooms. Efficiency is in the region of
65% or less.

The triangular configuration providesinefficient space for the central core. The
corner rooms are odd-shaped. Efficiency is
likely to be below 65%. The atrium configuration is served by single-
loaded corridors, which reduce efficiency.
Though it may provide an opportunity for
glass elevators, there is a cost premium.
Smoke extraction and an extra premium for
roof construction is a major consideration.
Efficiency is likely to be around 60%.

The circular configuration may have shorter
corridors but it is a challenge to design
efficient room space, especially in relation to
the location of the bathroom. The central core,
where the lifts, housekeeping and fire-escape
stairs are located, will determine the floor area.
It is unlikely to achieve efficiency beyond 70%

Cost planning
Cost planning is typically done intwo stages. The first stage involvesan initial order of magnitude
costing or cost appraisal. Thisusually takes place before anydesigns have been produced,and is based on available costdata and past experience of hotelprojects of comparable standard,together with an understanding of
the current market trends.The second stage involvesmore detailed cost planningbased on design informationprocured specifically for theparticular project.
46: COST

Initial order ofmagnitude costing
Using benchmarked areadata, a preliminary scheduleof all functional areas in
the hotel is made based onoutline information about thehotels market position, therecommended type of hotelproduct, and the amenities themarket requires. This produces areasonably accurate estimate of
overall gross constructed area.Based on this preliminaryarea schedule, the estimatedconstruction cost for the hotelis calculated. This is usuallydone both on a cost per squaremetre basis and on the basis
of a cost per bedroom or key,using historical benchmark datacollated from similar projects.Assuming that both calculationsproduce answers in the sameballpark, it is likely the hoteldesign is reasonably efficient.
Our cost consultants are wary ofhotels with, for example, unusuallylarge or extensive restaurants,
conference facilities, health clubs,suites or other unusual facilitiesthat skew the comparativecalculation by increasing thecost per key without perhapssignificantly affecting the cost persquare metre.
For any such unusual hotels,further discussion with thedeveloper is advisable to ensurethat his requirements have beenaccurately captured. An initialcost prepared on a $/m should,however, be more reliable.

With the preliminary costings inplace, a construction cost cash-flow forecast is prepared, based
on the estimated time required tocarry out the design, procure theright contractor and then build andfit-out the hotel. The results of thiscash-flow study give an indicationof the likely draw-down of thefunds throughout the construction
of the hotel to allow developersand investors to assess the needfor, and cost of, funding.
The construction cost consultantthen works with the developerand the design team to reviewand modify the scope and nature
of the hotel design, and thecorresponding construction cost.
This review process may berepeated a number of timesuntil the developer arrives at
a financially viable schemethat yields the required targetprofitability. In this way, a budgetis refined and set for constructionof the hotel and the developeris given the confidence in hisviability calculations to give the
go-ahead to proceed to the nextstage of the project.

Detailed cost planning
The developers design teamshould design the hotel toprovide the functional areas
necessary to meet the hoteloperators requirements withinthe constraints of the approvedbudget. The construction costconsultant costs the design andprepares an initial cost plan thatbreaks down the cost of each
element of the building intosmaller, more identifiable andmanageable items.
The cost plan is fine-tuned to tryto make sure that firstly, overallcosts fall within the targetedbudget and secondly, that the
spread of the expenditure is aboutright ie the money is beingspent on those elements whichare customer facing or affect theoperating costs of the building and therefore improve thepotential viability of the scheme.
This may involve a value-engineering (VE) process, carriedout with the construction cost
consultant guiding the designersby using analyses and benchmarkcomparisons with other hotelprojects. All cost elements arescrutinised for efficiency in designand whether they add value tothe hotel. Our construction cost
consultants, who are well-versedwith the various cost drivers of ahotel development, share theirknowledge and experience withthe design team, challengingand being challenged, therebymaximising the value andeffectiveness of the hotel building.

The construction cost consultantmay suggest alternativeconstruction methods and
advise on the range of productsand materials available in themarket that are within theallowable budget, from which thearchitects and interior designerscan then select.
Once the preliminary designs
are completed and have beenchecked to remain within budget,the construction cost consultantcompiles all the information intoa final detailed cost plan thatis distributed to the developerand consultants. This defines
the design intent and the agreedbudget to which the developer anddesign team should adhere.
The initial budgeting processminimizes time spent pursuingdesign options that are either not
affordable or do not produce therequired financial return.

Selecting a contractorto undertake the
construction of thehotel requires an
understanding of the
procurement options
available to ensure
that the right balancebetween price and risk
is achieved.

Procurement
Having completed the cost
planning process, agreed a
budget and scope of work and
received the go-ahead fromthe developer to proceed to the
next stage, the construction
cost consultant advises on the
most appropriate procurement
approach for the particular blend
of time, cost and quality that
relates to the hotel project.Every project is different,and it is important that thechoice of the most appropriateprocurement route and theselection and pre-qualificationof potential contractors for the
project is carefully considered.Even the best cost plans will beundermined if the wrong choice ofcontract or contractor is made orif the design information on whichthe contract is let is incomplete orof poor quality.

The three most commonlyencountered forms ofprocurement for hotels are briefly
described below:
Traditional lump sum
Traditional lump-sum contracts,based on full bills of quantities orpriced schedules of work, provide
an essential means of lettingand cost managing the work asit proceeds. However, they dorequire all design to be finalisedand detailed, and completedocumentation to be preparedbefore going to tender, whichtakes time and the overall life of a
project is therefore usually longerusing this route. Careful planningand interfacing of, for example,the interior design with the mainbuilding works can reduce theimpact on the master programme.
The main advantage of completingthe design before constructioncommences is the fact that the
contract cost is established inadvance of entering into thecontract and work starting on site.The cost risk to the developer istherefore relatively low. Control ofdesign and quality remains largelyin the hands of the developer and
the design team.If properly set up andadministered, this can be a goodform of contracting to produce ahigh-quality hotel.

Design and build
The design and build (d+b) approachneeds a clearly stated set ofrequirements, setting out in detail
those parts of the finished hotelthat are important to the developeror hotel operator (for example,the finishes to the public areas orthe performance of the servicesinstallations, but not necessarily thedetail of how the main structure is
put together) but without producingfull design documentation.
The contract price is based onthe contractor satisfying theserequirements while leaving a
significant part of the design,particularly the detailed designdevelopment, to the contractor.The perceived lack of control bythe developer over quality issuesmay lead to compromises bythe builder despite the design
team often being novated tothe contractor. This is a goodand usually cost-efficient formof contracting for reasonablystandard, repetitive types ofhotel such as budget lodges andbranded mid-market hotels. It isless often used for luxury, five-
star hotels.

Construction management
The construction management(CM) approach, where the workis let under a series of smaller
individual trade contracts underthe management of a specialistconstruction managementcompany, can provide programmeadvantages but may expose thedeveloper to greater cost risks.This is because the out-turn cost
(end cost) is not known until thelast trade package is agreed.
This construction managementapproach also does notprovide the developer with asingle point of responsibilityfor the construction works,
which developers might seeas a disadvantage. It requires amuch greater involvement bythe developer, in dealing withindividual trade contracts andpackage contractors.
This approach is often used onlarge or complex hotel projectswhere making a quick start on
site, before the whole designis completed, is important inorder to minimise the overallduration of construction. Carefulconsideration of all factors isneeded before proceeding downthis procurement route.
A modified version of thismethod can be used where,part way through the designand procurement process, thecontractor warrants the cost byproviding a guaranteed maximumprice (GMP), usually including
a premium cost to reflect theadditional risk he is taking on.Any savings achieved within theGMP are shared between thedeveloper and the contractorin a predetermined proportion,thereby creating an equitable risk-sharing arrangement.

Procurement management
The cost consultant will be activelyinvolved in establishing detailedprocurement strategy to cope with
the clients master programme.
If some packages of work needto be procured at an early stageto meet the programme, the costconsultant will actively participatein the pre-qualification andselection of suitable contractors,
including sourcing internationally,if required. AECOMs experienceand global presence allows us toput together the necessary tenderdocumentation and recommendthe appointment of appropriatecontractors for these packages in

Summary
This guide explains the
relationship between the
design and the costs of hotel
development and demonstratesthe benefits of obtaining cost
advice throughout each stage of
the development lifecycle.
Successful hotel developmentrequires not only anunderstanding of the market,
but also the ability to design andprocure the right product at theright price.
To achieve this you need tounderstand the relationshipbetween design and cost andhave knowledge of the latest
technologies, materials, pricesand construction methods.Combined with the knowledge ofhow hotels operate, this ensuresthat you have the right balancebetween capital expenditureand operating costs.
From initial feasibility throughdesign, procurement andconstruction, the role of the
construction cost consultant is key.
We hope that you have foundthis guide a useful source ofinformation and guidance for yourhotel projects. We would welcomethe chance to discuss it with youin greater detail.
At AECOM we offer a range ofservices that meet the developmentand asset management needsof hotel owners, operators anddevelopers from initial feasibilitythrough to planning, design,construction and operation.
