The Challenge
The Orlando World Center Marriott had just undergone extensive renovations. Now it was time to complete the grand ballroom and pre-function meeting space. So the Owner called us with a tall order:
get it done in 87 days. There were also non- negotiable start and end dates. And we had to complete the job with no interruption to the rest of the convention center wing and the lodging areas (more
than 2000 rooms in all), all of which were fully operational.
The Result
We value-engineered a 10% reduction in the construction cost after competitive bids were received. As the Agency CM, working on a fixed fee basis, we
completed the renovations within the allotted 87 days. And as requested, we completed the job without any impact on hotel operations or guests.
