What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the schematic design submittal requires documentation sufficient to review the general building and landscape concept, guest room layouts, public space layouts, and back of house (BOH) blocking. This submittal is a critical step in the design review process, and The Standardx will formally review it before moving to the next phase. Franchisees must submit both a 50% schematic design presentation and a 100% schematic design document by the deadlines set by The Standardx for the project.
The minimum documentation required for the schematic design submittal includes a completed site plan, individual floor plans, all building elevations, a roof plan, and a full building cross-section. Additionally, franchisees must provide food service equipment plans, laundry equipment plans, and an operations basis of design for food service and laundry, including sizing for laundry. The submittal must also contain MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing), FLS (Fire and Life Safety), and IT (Information Technology) plans denoting major systems and equipment.
Furthermore, the schematic design submittal must include material imagery and samples, including those for back-of-house areas, furnishings imagery, and exterior signage schematics. It is important to note that unacceptable designs or incomplete submittals may need to be resubmitted, potentially causing delays in the project timeline. Franchisees should ensure that all required documentation is thorough and accurate to avoid such issues. This comprehensive approach ensures that The Standardx maintains its brand standards and that each new hotel aligns with the company's vision.
Submitting thorough and accurate documentation is crucial for franchisees to avoid delays and ensure compliance with The Standardx's design and construction standards. Franchisees should work closely with their consultants to meet all requirements and deadlines specified by The Standardx.
