Running an 80-key extended-suite renovation breaks down quickly when the design board lives in one studio, COM yardage in another, and guestroom quantity takeoffs in a third workbook. On a Southwest Louisiana property scoped in late 2017, I pulled finish selection, fabric yardage calculations, and unit scheduling into one coordinated materials matrix under a mid-six-figure capital budget.
The guestroom schedule spans 80 rooms across six distinct configurations: 37 standard Kings, 1 King ADA suite, 4 King Suites, 28 Double Queens, 1 Double Queen ADA room, and 9 Double Queen Suites. Every sleeping bay took uniform 48-inch desks, triple-piece coordinated wall artwork sets, three accent side tables per room (240 tables total), and 80 LED-backlit bath mirrors, paired with dark walnut veneers, brushed metal accents, and custom lounge seating built around Customer's Own Material yardage.
Room Matrix & Materials Controls
- Unified 80 guestrooms across six room typologies under one bill of quantities (80 desks, 80 LED mirrors, 240 occasional tables, and 240 framed art pieces).
- Locked a 3-page material board matching dark walnut laminates, brass finish hardware, and public-lounge sectional yardage schedules before factory release.
- Modeled a 12% to 15% freight load factor into the master material schedule so regional LTL and dedicated truck drops matched phased floor handoffs.
Controlling finishes before fabrication turns a six-typology suite hotel into a repeatable installation sequence. One master count eliminates duplicate freight charges, keeps dye lots aligned between lobby and guest corridors, and gives ownership predictable turn dates per wing.
