Our cross disciplinary expertise in hotel development, design and construction support, interior design, hospitality technology and FF&E procurement means you benefit from practical, real world guidance that keeps your project aligned with how hotels actually operate, not just how they are drawn or built.
We’re not builders, engineers or designers. We know hotels. But the builders, engineers and designers we work with benefit from insights that ensure each decision is hotel-specific, not ‘building- or design-specific’. Hotels are complex with thousands of moving parts. Without specialist guidance, standard design and construction practice can only go so far to integrate future operational efficiencies that a profitable hotel demands.
You gain a partner who, through design reviews, bridges the knowledge gap between developers, architects, designers and builders, ensuring hotel specific requirements are integrated from day one. This reduces costly redesigns, prevents operational inefficiencies and ensures the finished product meets brand, guest and owner expectations while delivering optimal returns.
We help you assemble the right consultant teams, can strengthen and participate in project control groups and drive practical improvements that keep the project moving with discipline and commercial focus.
From feasibility through design, construction, fit out and launch, you will benefit from a single advisor who safeguards your interests at every stage of your hotel development strategy.
Once the building is completed, we can continue to support you through pre opening, operational ramp up, launch, stabilisation and performance optimisation. The result will be a hotel that opens on time, operates efficiently and performs as a resilient, high value asset.

The independent review of the ultra-luxury lodge ownership and competitive marketplace was a quality piece of work that has significantly contributed to Baillie Lodges (owned by KSL Capital Partners) understanding of this niche, high yielding segment and the subsequent creation of the strategic M&A plan. Their intimate understanding of our investment objectives, the unique investment thesis for this asset sub-class and personal involvement in the process from start to finish were central to the production of a well scoped, thoroughly researched and highly relevant management tool that was delivered at project completion. We will be using them again!

I thoroughly recommend Rodger as a professional that delivers tangible results.
In a time when most people soften their advice with disclaimers, Rodger sticks to the old-school approach—telling you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear—and that is truly invaluable
