Statement for Hotel remains operational while carrying out the works
In order to Hotel remains operational while carrying out works, phases are sequenced as per the best
possible way. This proposed sequence may vary according to the actual situation at site and as per
timings of Hotel activities.
Phase 1 area will be covered by hoarding and access will be provided only for construction works.
This hoarding will remain until the substantial completion of the area. The works will be carried out
as per the program submitted to client. Since the reception counters are there in both Phase 2 and

guests. Phase 3,5,6,7 & 8 will be carried out after due consultation with the hotel management in
order to minimize the disruption to Hotel guests. Method of work in each phase will be discussed
