1 - Overview
While this report covers many areas, it is not fully comprehensive and does NOT replace the need for those involved with the hotel project, to read,
understand and utilize the IHG Engineering Standards. The IHG Engineering Standards provide the details necessary for a proper and compliant installation.
IMPORTANT :-
– For all new build hotel projects, compliance with all points listed must be attained prior to hotel opening.
– For re-branding and conversion hotel projects, priority and completion targets will be noted by the inspection engineer.
These priority and completion targets will be broken down into 2 Phases as follows:-
PHASE 1 Works – Essential Fire Life Safety and Brand Standards Compliance.
Phase 1 works must be completed prior to hotel opening (or re-branding as the case may be).
In all cases, the final inspection prior to hotel opening will be arranged only after the assigned IHG Engineer gives the approval to do so. This
approval will be based on the successful completion of the “Approval for Final Inspection” form found in Section 4 of this document.
Proposed Date for Inspection: (Note this needs to be confirmed with the person conducting the final inspection)
