Supporting the Entire Hospitality Project Lifecycle
Our core values inspire our approach to project management: we own assets, and team hospitality experts with local labor and integrate with construction teams to create seamless project hand-offs. Our vast network of service partners aligns with GWS industry experts, uniquely positioning us to easily overcome schedule challenges: we can quickly adjust our scale to adapt to changing timelines.
Hotel FF&E Services
No detail is too small for our teams, who are experienced in handling everything from artwork to draperies with care. Our technology platform gives enhanced visibility to the entire process, as pictures and a punch list roll up into a detailed status report. The result? Complete chain-of-custody and uncomplicated claims management.
Our care extends beyond the placement of the final mirror. Through green disposition planning, we create recycling, liquidation, and donation plans to help you conclude your project responsibly. And because we have team members with LEED credentials, you can feel confident in our commitment to sustainability.
