The challenge

Embassy Grand, a premium banquet hall, was struggling with an outdated appearance and broken, non-functional amenities that deterred potential customers. Despite frequent spending on maintenance, issues persisted, leading to additional costs without delivering value to customers.

Objective

The goal was to renovate the entrance flooring throughout the hall and completely revamp the bathrooms. The renovation needed to be completed within a tight timeline of three months, aiming to surpass the quality of other local banquet halls undergoing similar updates.

The strategy

To meet the objectives, we developed a comprehensive strategy aligned with the owner’s needs:

Milestones with Tasks

An integrated dashboard centralized project information, streamlining decisions on materials, identifying risks, managing delays, negotiating contracts, and optimizing resources for efficient team communication.

The outcome

During the renovation, over 60 change orders were introduced, expanding the project scope while maintaining the original timeline. This situation tested the strategy’s flexibility and required enhanced coordination with contractors and subcontractors. Additional personnel were deployed, and strategic planning helped overcome material delays, keeping the project on track.

Despite these challenges, the renovation was completed on time, with no event cancellations. The updated space attracted increased social media attention, inquiries, and future bookings, demonstrating the effectiveness of the strategy in revitalizing the venue’s appeal and market presence.
