Smaller economy hotels lose leverage when furniture, mattresses, window treatments, and lamps are pieced together from retail distributors. On a November 2017 renovation for a 38-key Rodeway Inn in Kleberg County, Texas, custom design takeoffs consolidated all guestroom furnishings into one mid-six-figure factory package.
Synchronizing 38 Guestrooms Across Two Bay Types
Every SKU mapped cleanly across 14 Double Queen rooms and 24 King rooms so zero fixtures arrived short on delivery day:
- Casegoods and seating: Included 24 King and 28 Queen 42-inch headboards, 48 narrow King nightstands, 14 wider Queen nightstands, 38 micro-fridge cabinets, 38 desks, 38 activity tables, 38 chrome ergonomic chairs, and 76 upholstered activity chairs.
- Bedding, drapery, and lighting: Packed 24 King and 28 Queen mattress, boxspring, and bed-base sets, 38 stationary two-way sheer and blackout drapery systems, 48 single nightstand lamps, 14 double nightstand lamps, 38 desk lamps, and 114 framed artworks and mirrors.
Design and Freight Control
Folding space planning into the factory bill of materials alongside an 18 percent freight budget and 8.25 percent Texas sales tax gave ownership predictable landed totals before fabrication began in Kleberg County.
