The construction phase is where the bulk of the funds, effort, and time are expended. Success in hotel construction rests on two foundations: bulletproof project documents and seamless process management from site prep to final finishes.
Integrated Design and Construction:
We offer a seamless turnkey solution, from initial concept and design through to the final construction and fit-out. Integrated project delivery, where design and construction teams work as one unit from start to finish, consistently yields superior results compared to the traditional fragmented approach. Therefore, if a predictable outcome is your priority, this is the most logical path forward. Review our portfolio—we have extensive, proven experience.
Hotel Construction:
Take advantage of our extensive hotel construction experience to work with existing design and working documentation.
Technical Supervision:
Under certain conditions, we may only provide technical supervision of the facility's construction. Inspections are conducted periodically to ensure compliance with deadlines, construction technologies, and cost control.
What's important to us in hotel construction:
1. We deliver on time.
We meticulously manage construction logistics and supplies to ensure the construction schedule is met to the letter. For urgent projects, we organize two-shift construction work.
2. We Double-Check:
We thoroughly double-check the specifications made at the design stage, even if the building under construction was designed by us.
3. Sustainability
: Sustainability of the works performed. We do not advocate cutting down and then replanting, removing the fertile layer and bringing in black soil, scattering garbage and then collecting it.
4. Control:
We pay close attention to every detail and every stage of the work: we photograph each stage of construction, and we monitor each supplier of equipment and materials.
5. Fire Safety
Fire is the main hazard of hotel buildings, so we pay special attention to fire safety requirements.
6. Construction Insurance
Financial liability for failure to meet the construction schedule.
7. Professional Standards on Site
We hold the quality of the construction process itself in the same regard as on-time delivery.
8. Integrated Approach
We hand over projects that are fully operational and ready for use. With napkins on the tables and made beds.
9. Supervision, supervision, and more supervision!
Technical and architectural supervision is conducted at least twice a week, and on major projects, it is carried out daily.
As a result, you receive:
- A completed facility:
A fully constructed facility, ready for occupancy.
- Documents:
A package of necessary documents for commissioning the building and technical documentation.
- Warranty:
A comprehensive warranty covers all services and construction performed by Fantalis.
Specific aspects of organizing construction work for country hotel complexes.
In the city, we are known as reliable, experienced, and conscientious builders. However, when it comes to managing remote construction projects, we confidently say we are second to none. No other construction company in the country has built so many suburban hotel complexes.
What makes us so special?
Working in remote areas of our vast country means remotely managing a large workforce, which isn't always known for its discipline, sobriety, and accuracy. Working with a mobile work crew requires minimal contact with the local population, daily reports from the production site, and well-designed and organized living conditions for the workers, including their leisure time.
Supervising people:
Managing teams at remote sites, far from established infrastructure, is significantly more challenging than overseeing crews in an urban environment.
Creating an autonomous infrastructure:
Preparing the construction site, workshops, fire safety, temporary wiring and lighting, and many other aspects—all of this is created with an eye toward months of autonomous operation. It's important to remember that in countryside properties, many things need to be kept in reserve. Shipping one kilogram of screws costs the same as shipping 10 kilograms of screws.
Culture and Hygiene:
The higher the standard of living and hygiene among employees working at such remote sites, the more efficient they are, the more committed they are to the quality of the facility being constructed, and the more loyal they are to the Client and their project.
Employee Initiative:
A corollary to the previous point is employee initiative. This is expressed not only in the desire to do their job well, but in a fundamentally different approach to this work. They highlight design flaws and propose corrections, rather than simply doing things "as is," and suggest a more optimal route or method for completing the work or installing structures. We try not to stifle the initiative of those working on-site, as they sometimes know more than the Site Owner or even the Contractor's management.
Shift Work Only:
Work at such sites can only be carried out on a shift basis. Local workers are not permitted (except for rough, unskilled work). Isolated work environments inevitably lead to a drop in motivation. Extended leave for workers to reconnect with family and community is essential.
Conflicts can arise
Conflict is a risk in isolated, all-male workforces. These multi-generational teams, often assembled from across Russia and the CIS, can face internal tensions as well as clashes with local communities.
There are many other aspects of remote construction, but it's impossible to cover them all in one article. You can tackle this yourself, or we can handle it and save you the headache and expense.
Consider this:
Conceived. Designed. Built.
Over many years of practice, our company has developed the philosophy: "Conceived." Designed. Built." This principle applies both to the project as a whole and is easily replicated on smaller tasks. Therefore, if the project is initially in the hands of the Fantalis team, you can rest assured when new ideas and inputs arise that improve the project. Thanks to this principle and the coordinated work of all departments, we can promptly amend design documents and seamlessly move a new task through the production chain to its implementation.
Deadlines!
It is crucial to know and understand that if a facility with, say, 100 rooms, is not delivered on time, the client loses approximately 250,000 rubles per day! Therefore, we understand the importance and responsibility of the work and guarantee that deadlines will be met in accordance with the construction schedule!
Understanding the designer.
It's important to adhere not only to the letter of the design documentation, but also to its spirit. Understand that even a 5% building rotation can lead to increased wind loads, reduced comfort, altered views, and other consequences. The designer had his own reasons for every design decision.
Positive attitude
We believe that the positive attitude of those working on a construction project imbues it with the appropriate energy, which is one factor in the positive attitude of the guests who will relax at this facility after its opening.
We believe that any person, even a worker or a simple lumberjack, is a creator. And working with the team directly on site, we impart our creative spirit to them. We are always open to their suggestions and know-how, listening to them when they offer new ideas for installation, convenience, and beauty.
Many of our workers are people who grew up in rural areas; they understand the laws of nature and have developed "Russian ingenuity."
Many interesting features in our projects are brought about precisely in this way.
