Summary - The results of the financial appraisals for both the new build and conversion models of a typical Scandic by Hilton developed by HLC were utilised as one of the main drivers in the design development of this new product. The design concept and detail developed by the project team were vigorously tested for their efficiencies in terms of operational, quality standards, consumer appeal, construction time and cost performance to ensure that the stipulated briefing requirements could be satisfied. The requisite product standards, designs and specifications were then compiled into a set of Franchise Product Standard Manuals formatted to facilitate easy, consistent and effective implementation by Scandic by Hilton partners.
