Refurbishing 10 uniquely finished bedrooms in a tight programme
The project’s success was rooted in its comprehensive planning phase. Over four months, A.C. Beck’s team collaborated closely with the hotel and the appointed interior designers. Key planning activities included:
- Design Consultation: A.C. Beck engaged in several design consultation sessions to understand the vision for each bedroom. The goal was to create unique, cohesive aesthetics that reflected the hotel’s brand while providing a distinct experience in each room.
- Material Selection: Choosing the right materials was crucial. The team explored various wallpaper textures, patterns, and high-quality paint options. Samples were tested on-site to ensure they met durability, aesthetic, and safety standards.
- Scheduling: Given the limited two-week window for actual execution, a detailed schedule was drafted. This included timelines for stripping old finishes, preparing surfaces, applying new wallpapers and paints, and allowing adequate drying time.
- Logistics Coordination: The procurement and delivery of materials had to be timed perfectly. A.C. Beck coordinated with suppliers to ensure all materials were on-site before the project commenced, minimizing the risk of delays.
The execution phase key steps included:
- Site Preparation: The team arrived on-site with all necessary tools and materials. Rooms were prepped by covering furniture and floors, ensuring no damage occurred during the process.
- Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation was vital for achieving a high-quality finish. This involved stripping walls, repairing any damage, and priming surfaces.
- Wallpaper Application: Each room featured a unique wallpaper design. Skilled craftsmen carefully applied the wallpapers, ensuring perfect alignment and seamless joins.
- Painting: The paintwork required precision, especially where multiple colours and finishes were involved. The team used high-quality paints to achieve smooth, consistent coverage.
- Quality Control: Throughout the project, a dedicated quality control manager inspected each room to ensure the work met A.C. Beck’s high standards. Any imperfections were promptly addressed.
