Project Details
HCC successfully completed the AC Hotel by Marriott in Newtown Square, PA, a 140-room hotel designed with modern amenities and high-end finishes. The scope of the project included the construction of guest accommodations, four 700-square-foot king suites, a lounge/bar, a fitness center, and large floor-to-ceiling aluminum windows in every guestroom, providing ample natural light. Exterior finishes included wood-look EIFS, enhancing the sleek, contemporary aesthetic of the building.
HCC’s responsibilities extended beyond standard construction, as the project involved significant coordination with multiple simultaneous developments on the same site. The hotel shares infrastructure and an exterior wall with an adjacent restaurant, requiring precise integration of shared spaces, including a connecting door. The team also managed complex crane operations, with a tower crane overlapping with mobile cranes from neighboring projects, necessitating careful scheduling and safety measures.
To ensure project efficiency and minimize disruptions, HCC employed 3D BIM coordination for all MEP+S trades, allowing for early identification of potential conflicts. This advanced planning contributed to maintaining the project schedule and avoiding costly delays. The construction team also implemented strict safety protocols to manage work around active construction sites, ensuring a seamless execution despite the challenges of the tight site and concurrent builds.
HCC delivered the AC Hotel on time, while adhering to stringent safety requirements and ensuring high-quality construction throughout. The project’s complexity and the coordination it required stand as a testament to HCC’s ability to manage challenging construction environments while maintaining focus on delivering superior results.
