Home / Crowne Plaza & HIX T4 Heathrow
This was a dual branded IHG Hotel. It had a total of768 guest rooms, 305 of which were Crowne Plaza
rooms and 463 Holiday Inn Express rooms. We were responsible for the guest room and corridor
fit out package, Building Services along with the management of the logistics for the development.
This was the largest hotel in the UK to complete in2019. We were responsible for the logistics which
involved collaboration with the Transport police, Heathrow Logistics as although this was landside it
was adjacent to Terminal 4.
Being the largest project that we had been involved in we carried our learning experience from our work on smalle
hotel projects. We implemented the Lean construction planning model again working with the other contractors
to maximise our efficiency along with our ability to manage the workforce. As the project was dualbranded distribution and material management was essential to ensure that we had the right products going into the right rooms. We ran a dedicated off-site distribution centre which we used to bring in products in complete room packs
on a JIT basis.
