How to ensure your hospitality fit-out is built right.


At Formacon, we have found that there are five common problems that most hospitality business owners face during a build.

problem

Lack of time

problem

Inadequate information

ONE

TWO

Most owners realise that construction periods are times were income isn’t realised. Every day of the build or the renovation is a day when they aren’t building up customers and earning money. Construction cannot be finished soon enough for them.

Hospitality businesses are often based on unique and distinctive models; the clients are careful with information management and they need to be involved in the decision making process.

Little support

problem

THREE problem

FOUR

When issues arise or when things don’t go as planned, managing the situation requires teamwork and immediate, persistent attention until things get back on track. It is important to have a good working relationship with both the clients and, when applicable, the designers. If there’s too little support, then it is far too easy for the project schedule to go off the rails, and time is money for both builders and clients.

Not staying on top of compliance Australia has some of the world’s most stringent rules and regulations surrounding the food and beverage industry. If issues are not anticipated in advance, Australia’s regulatory landscape can be a minefield at times.

Lack of understanding

problem

FIVE

Effective information management during the construction process can improve the outcome of any build. However, that means reaching a full understanding of the technical, business and regulatory issues at the beginning of the process. A clear and thorough understanding of all the issues ensures that good decisions can be made at the spur of the moment, as needed.
