What activities are included in 'Construction Work' for an Embassy Suites hotel?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Construction Work' encompasses all essential actions required for the development, construction, renovation, furnishing, equipping, and implementation of the Plans and Designs for the Hotel. This definition is broad, covering every aspect of bringing the hotel project from its initial planning stages to a fully operational state.

For a prospective Embassy Suites franchisee, this means being responsible for a wide array of tasks. It includes not only the physical construction of the building but also the interior design, procurement of furniture and equipment, and ensuring that everything aligns with the approved Plans and Designs. Franchisees must manage and coordinate all these activities to meet the brand's standards and specifications.

The franchisee is responsible for ensuring that all construction work adheres to the brand's Standards, the Manual, any Property Improvement Plan (PIP), and all applicable laws. This places a significant burden on the franchisee to maintain compliance throughout the construction process. Understanding the full scope of 'Construction Work' is crucial for budgeting, planning, and resource allocation, ensuring that the hotel meets the required opening deadlines and quality standards.
