Our team is continuously evolving our work practices, so we can prove great service to our clients, along with updating our WHS plan to include COVID-19 planning and management.

To ensure we mitigate the risk of impact to operations, we have: 

• implemented COVID-19 response plans internally and on all current projects.
• postponed non-essential meetings and events with clients, consultants and suppliers.
• teams to work from alternate locations⁠.

We are taking action and following the advice provided by the Australian Government’s Department of Health and DAFT’s Smart Traveller service.

Our team will continue to be accessible and ready to assist you with any challenges that COVID-19 presents. If you have any further queries or wish to discuss our approach, please feel free to contact us with any questions on 07 3277 7740 or sayhello@hotconcepts.com.au

QHA Awards ~ Carrollee Hotel Wins Best Reno!

We were honoured to attend the QHA Awards for Excellence last week with the Carrollee Hotel, who was nominated for Best Redevelopment Licensed Premises Up To $2m, and they won! A lot of planning and hard work went into completing the heritage renovation. Along the way we experienced all the challenges of restoring a 115 year old hotel, and finished a complete renovation in 6 months.

More than 1200 hoteliers, partners and supporters of the Queensland hotel industry joined together to celebrate the very best of Queensland’s Hotel and Accommodation industry.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thanks for the awesome night Queensland Hotels Association.

3D Design Concepts for a Country Hotel Renovation

We started life as designers & interior architects, however throughout the years of projects not being finished well, we expanded into having a project management and construction teams. This way we can see our clients vision through to the end. The surprising bonus, is this process is cheaper and quicker than alternative of employing architects, engineers, plumbing, electrical, project mangers and a building company. Employing one company, instead of 6 is also more efficient on our clients time.

That said, we often work on building only projects too. While we have over 20 years experience in the hospitality & retail industries, our construction team exists to help bring businesses and spaces to life. Uniquely, we have the capabilities to combine planning, interior & exterior design, custom manufacturing, project management and construction to deliver practical, end-to-end solution. Our hotel and club industry experience means our services are based on an understanding of real world success, and deliver a better quality service that works for both the client, the venue and the customers.We finish our fitouts to highest standards, and take full responsibility and cover on all of our projects.

The following are few renders for a country hotel renovation, that will be completed this financial year.

Papa’s Pancakes – The New Benchmark

THE NEW BENCHMARK – a small family operation selling Asian pancakes were wanting to expand, so they approached us to design and construct a complete tenancy fit out. The new location was in a high traffic area outside of a major supermarket and required a full retail configuration including a kitchen, prep areas and front service counter.

Though only a small 35sqm tenancy in Sunnybank Plaza, the Centre Management was so impressed with the design and fit out that they have set it as a benchmark for all new tenancies.
