Jonathan Nehmer + Associates, Inc. (JN+A) and HVScompass Design are proud to announce the completion of the 2010 Hotel Cost Estimating Guide. The Guide is a comprehensive listing of capital expenditure construction and FF&E costs for hotel renovations.

The 2010 Hotel Cost Estimating Guide evaluates costs in a variety of hotel tiers including Economy, Extended Stay, Midscale with Food & Beverage, Upscale, Upper Upscale, and Luxury. Within each tier, costs are separated into the categories of Guestrooms, Guest Bathrooms, Guestroom Corridors; Food & Beverage Outlets; Function Space; Recreational Facilities; and Infrastructure.

“We created this Guide to provide decision-makers with quality, up-to-date hotel renovation costs,” said Jonathan C. Nehmer, president of Jonathan Nehmer + Associates. “JN+A is a leader in due diligence and Property Condition Assessments where budgets and capital expenditure planning are so important. Our extensive experience in hotel renovations gives us a thorough understanding of the renovation budgeting process and provides us with verification of the cost data that we have included in this Guide.”

Now in its second year of existence, the Hotel Cost Estimating Guide also includes expert cost data from Benjamin West and Audit Logistics on FF&E and Freight Management. The 2010 edition features technical articles written by executives at HVS, JN+A, HVScompass, Benjamin West, and Audit Logistics that provide further insight into capital expenditures, hotel renovation, and the FF&E purchasing and freight process.
