Recently，Huazhu Group Engineering General Subcontracting Annual Meeting was held，Participants include construction companies of various brands，The conference location is set at Shanghai Jiao Tong University，Huazhu invited professors from the School of Management of Jiaotong University to train them in business management，The theme of the conference is "Remain true to our original intention，Back to school”。

15 years ago，The outbreak of budget hotels has driven a large number of construction teams to become rich，There are hundreds of construction general contractors sitting in the audience，Some started as carpenters，Rely on your own craftsmanship and start from a small workshop，Now we renovate dozens of hotels a year，very rich。But today with the overall transformation of the hotel market，They are facing transformation and upgrading。Construction general contractor Zhang Hui spoke bluntly to Jiemian News reporter，“The biggest task now is to study”。

Because of a chance，Zhang Hui, who was born in interior design, enters the hotel construction industry。Starting from the earliest budget hotel，Already doing this for 20 years。

He described，The budget hotels at that time were “pigs on the hot streak”。The craziest time，"Along the Yangtze River，From Shanghai to Yichang，Suzhou、Nanjing、Anhui、Wuhan、Yichang，There 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino are projects in almost every city，Almost on the plane from morning to night。”

Zhang Hui told Jiemian News reporter，At that time, we could do (construction) dozens of projects a year，A mature brand “You can do it with your eyes closed”，Only one design drawing is needed。

And now，Every new brand is a challenge: “Even the designers are not sure what it will look like in the end，From drawing to implementation，We will encounter many unexpected difficulties during this period，For example, costs are out of control”，Zhang Hui said。

From economical to mid-range brands，An even bigger change。General construction contractor Zhang Peisong started from Hanting，The current focus has become all seasons，He talked about his discomfort from Hanting to Quanji，His memories，While working on the first full season，To make a wardrobe，The wall between the two rooms was knocked twice。From signing the contract to opening the business，It took a total of six months，At that time, the ordinary Han court only took three months。

For construction parties who are accustomed to budget hotels，On the one hand，We must completely abandon the previous low-cost model of maximizing profits。“Take the whole season as an example，A set of furniture per room costs more than 10,000 yuan，requires solid wood veneer，Some franchisees use melamine boards，The cost is only five thousand，But the service life is only 3-5 years，And the hotel will be open for ten years。”Later，Huazhu Hotel Group will turn all-season furniture into one category of purchasing，Mandatory unified procurement，To ensure the quality of the hotel。

Another challenge，It is continuous learning and improvement，Come and keep up with the intelligence of hotels、Personalization Trend。

With the increasingly popular electric curtains、Sensor light as an example，Chen Xiaoyi said，Smart 188bet sports betting app download equipment requires a centralized intelligent control box，All strong electricity will be converted into weak electricity，More complex than the original operation、Higher technology content，Not all electricians can do it。Intelligent equipment also greatly increases the workload: "Xi'an CitiGO's electric curtains and intelligent equipment，It takes a whole day to debug a room”，Chen Xiaoyi said。

my country’s hotel industry is undergoing an upgrade to mid-range hotels，As needs become more and more personalized，Not just launching a few new brands but upgrading，Behind this is the synchronous learning and improvement of the entire chain。The person in charge of Huazhu Engineering Region told reporters，“On a business trip, I just go to the hotel，Watch several a day，Go and see whichever one you hear is good，Write down the good and bad ones and take them back for study”。

He said，The current construction is getting more and more difficult，Because the quality of existing properties is getting worse，"They are all missing arms and legs"，But the quality required by the company is getting higher and higher，New properties are too expensive，Only old properties can be selected。It is difficult to renovate old properties、High cost，Even have to smash it all and start over。In this case，You can only slow down，Quality guaranteed。

The attitude of the hotel group itself is also changing，From quantity to quality，The quality has been raised to unprecedented heights。Song Yanqiang, senior director of engineering of Huazhu Hotel Group, told Jiemian News reporter，All economical construction companies must improve，Acceptance standards will be gradually increased，The goal for 2018 is to ensure that newly opened hotels do not require maintenance within 3 years。

Zhu He, Vice President of Huazhu Hotel Group, told Jiemian News reporter，Hotel quality directly affects the hotel’s competitiveness，Improving the capabilities 188bet online sports betting of construction parties is to serve franchisees。Because the final source of the product is engineering quality，Generally, hotels are repaired every five years，However, hotels with poor initial construction quality need to be repaired every one or two years，Makes operating costs high。

Zhu He said，In the long run，Improve construction capabilities and hotel quality，Will affect customer satisfaction，Finally maintain the stability of the Huazhu franchise system。

Huazhu itself is not responsible for the construction and decoration of the hotel，Each newly opened franchise hotel will be assigned a project manager to follow up，Supervision and acceptance according to construction nodes，20 nodes in the whole season、20 nodes in the whole season，Specifies the number of visits and work content of the project manager。

Before 2014，Franchisees can freely choose the construction party，Resulting in uneven quality of hotels。Later，Huazhu begins to establish a platform to screen construction contractors，Recommend franchisees to use construction methods within the system，Unified standards development，Control the quality of franchise stores through unified management 188bet online sports betting of construction parties。

Zhu He said，The current challenge lies in high-end hotels。Currently, the projects of mid- to low-end brands have been very standardized，But there are still many construction companies that do not have the conditions to build high-end hotels。

On the other hand，Zhu He and his team are still faced with the problem of "addition" or "subtraction"。

What troubles Zhu He is，“Huazhu has too many brands，The guests are becoming more and more segmented”，Huazhu wants to occupy all market segments，But it is particularly difficult in project management。"Decoration materials and styles are improved，But intelligent transformation is actually a very complex large-scale project。”

Zhu He thinks，For most current business guests，Intelligent equipment is not particularly necessary yet。The upgrade of the hotel is not blind，There is actually a main line，Need step by step、Upgrade in batches。

He said，The hotel upgrade cannot be too radical，Cannot "change orders overnight"。Zhu He’s principle is，It must be standardized and replicated on a large scale before implementation，For example, the next step is to prepare a comprehensive upgrade of smart door locks and super WiFi，They are all targeting the pain points that are in urgent need of upgrade。

Also，“It can’t be too trendy，Things that are too trendy tend to become outdated”，Song Yanqiang told Jiemian News reporter，The construction of the entire hotel will be divided into two parts in 2018: basic functions and competitive functions。Basic features include soundproofing、Odor、WiFi etc.，The competitive features include soft decoration and other factors that constitute the hotel style，If it becomes obsolete in three years，Can be exchanged，But the basic functions are still good。

In Song Yanqiang’s team，Almost everyone has a background in science and engineering。Song Yanqiang mentioned a detail，The engineering department will organize aesthetic training regularly，The most critical point is dressing up: "If you are a professional manager，Don’t wear too fancy clothes，The shirt must match the jacket”。

When standardized budget hotels are no longer popular，Being a hotel is more emotional、When the aesthetic taste is higher，These “engineering men” in the industry also need to learn、Improve your aesthetic taste。
