 GUIDE TO THE COST GUIDE
by Warren G. Feldman, AIA, ISHC
CEO of Nehmer | Principal of HVS Design

The 2024 Hotel Cost Estimating Guide is the sixteenth edition of this comprehensive planning tool. Nehmer
and HVS Design developed the Guide to examine construction and FF&E costs for renovations in each hotel
tier. The Guide is intended to be just that - a guide to help provide approximate costs for your softgoods or full
renovation with flexibility to customize your preliminary budget to fit your scope. As with any generic budgeting
tool, the final costs for a specific project should be developed on a case-specific basis. Below are some tips to
aid in directing you to get the most out of this helpful tool.

Overall

The Guide is divided into six hotel tiers. Each tier has an assumed hotel size and configuration from which the
cost data is derived. The assumptions are a way for you to compare against your property to help determine
which tier and hotel size it fits.

Once you have selected a hotel tier, you should determine if you want a quick budget number or want to develop
a more detailed version of the budget. For quick numbers use the summary pages (Pages 10 and 11). If you
want a detailed budget, then use the detailed numbers within the tier you have selected.

The next step is to apply the scope of your renovation to the forecasted numbers, having determined which tier
your hotel falls under and determined your scope of work for the renovation. Let’s assume you have a six-story,
200-room hotel that needs a softgoods guestroom renovation, but you are planning to keep the artwork, lighting,
and soft seating. Due to the type of hotel, you know that your project falls under the Upper Upscale tier.

Softgoods Renovation

For a quick preliminary budget using the summary page only, you would use the guestroom softgoods renovation
price for an Upper Upscale hotel in the cost range of between $9,242 and $13,301. Now, skip ahead to the
adjustments section.

For a more detailed budget you would skip ahead to the Guestroom Softgoods Renovation for the Upper Upscale
(page 64) category, and highlight each item that you are replacing including demo and FF&E installation. Each
item has a cost range (low to high) and an average cost. Utilizing the average cost number will provide you with
the general idea of the cost. Add up the select items needed for your renovation and multiply by the number of
keys. This number will provide you with an approximate idea of how much it will cost to do a basic softgoods
renovation including construction and FF&E.
Guestroom Softgoods Renovation
Assume guestroom area of approximately 15' x 24' and 7' x 8' entry / closet area (472 SF). Ceilings 9' AFF. Painted drywall.
RANGE AVERAGE
Demolition $381.81 to $537.50 $479.42
FF&E Installation $227.85 to $460.00 $333.84
Artwork, Mirrors, and Accessories (Installed Package) $701.50 to $1,096.91 $903.79

Additional Renovation / Full Renovation

The Guide provides an additional level of renovation costs in the event you want to do a full renovation or even
additional elements of a full renovation. Armed with your softgoods renovation cost, you decide you also want
to replace the beds, add a tile foyer to the entry, and get new televisions. Under the Upper Upscale Guestroom
– Add for a Full Renovation category (page 64), you should highlight the three additions to your scope. Add the
average costs associated with each line item.
Guestroom - Add for a Full Renovation
RANGE AVERAGE
King Bed (Box Spring, Mattress, and Frame) $987.00 to $1,275.00 $1,131.00
Entry Area Hard Surface Flooring $951.27 to $1,075.20 $1,009.84
TV and Mount (HD LCD, including Programming Allowance) $920.88 to $1,542.00 $1,231.72

Guestroom Full Renovation Additional Cost Per Key $2,859.15 to $3,892.20 $3,372.56

Take the additional renovation costs and add them to your total softgoods number (before you multiply by the
number of keys). Take the combined total of the softgoods and additional renovation item total and multiply that
number by the number of keys to get the total construction and FF&E cost for your proposed renovation.
Total Guestroom Renovation Cost
RANGE AVERAGE
Guestrooms Softgoods Renovation Cost Per Key $9,242.31 to $13,300.97 $11,282.37
Guestroom Full Renovation Additional Cost Per Key $2,859.15 to $3,892.20 $3,372.56

Total Construction and FF&E Cost Per Key $12,101.45 to $17,193.17 $14,654.93

Adjustments

Once you have the construction and FF&E costs for your project, you also need to account for things not included
in the costs above. As stated in the Guide, these costs do not include Professional Fees, Contingency, Operating
Supplies + Equipment, Attic Stock, Freight or Sales Tax, the Contractor’s General Conditions, Overhead and
Profit, etc. Typically, the design cost of a project including the Architecture, Interior Design, Project Management,
and Procurement make up about 10% of the overall budget. The freight and tax vary greatly by location and
should be adjusted based upon your specific location. For the freight and tax calculation, assume that the
FF&E costs are 50% of the costs of the construction and FF&E. For our sample project, we will assume it is a
Midwestern location with 6% state and local tax. You also need to apply a contingency to the budget. If you are
doing a quick budget, you might apply 15%. If you are doing a detailed version, it might be 10%.
Adjustments for Preliminary Budget
RANGE AVERAGE
Costs for Guestroom Renovation from the Summary Page $9,242.31 to $13,300.97 $11,282.37

The Nehmer and HVS Design Team would like to thank the above firms for the large amount of time they
volunteered to provide us with unit cost data for each of the categories and sub-categories included in the Guide.
Nehmer and HVS Design have successfully worked with each of these firms on past projects. All of them are well-
known, regionally- or nationally-based contractors that specialize in the hospitality industry. These organizations
are acutely aware of the crucial need for efficient operation in hotels with regard to noise and guest satisfaction,
as well as the primary need to produce complete, guest-ready hotel rooms, broad areas of costs that will likely
apply to most types of hotel renovations, and can provide preliminary insight when planning for such work.

 DESIGNING TO A SCHEDULE
Created by Nehmer and HVS Design

Determining the budget for a project is just one step in the renovation process. It is also important to develop a
thorough and achievable project schedule to help make the project a reality. We have put together the following
conceptual schedules to serve as a guide when creating your own project schedule.

• Full-service Hotel
• Select Service Hotel – Prototype Design
• Select Service Hotel – Custom Design

These schedules are not intended to be one size fits all. Each project is unique. However, these durations can
assist you and be a check point when developing your project-specific schedule.
