Build the operating calendar before the accommodation list
Mark opening periods, preparation windows, changeover patterns, maintenance access and planned closures using the operator's actual process. The calendar should reveal when different teams need the same routes, storage, utilities or guest areas.
Treat every frequency and sequence as an operator input, not a universal benchmark. A park with a different audience, service model or season will produce a different brief, even when its reference images look similar.
| Decision input | Required evidence | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Operating period | guest activity | staff dependency |
| Changeover step | access need | operator owner |
| Shared service | site question | project source |
| Future phase | decision trigger | scope boundary |
Trace a changeover day through people, goods and waste
Follow guests, linen, cleaning supplies, inspections, repairs and waste from arrival to departure. The route does not need to become a layout; it needs to expose crossings, missing storage and access questions for the design team.
Separate service preferences from confirmed requirements. If the operator has not supplied a routine or responsibility, leave it as a prompt instead of embedding an assumption in a product or site request.
Test each proposed phase against its own commercial inputs
Define what a phase is intended to include before using any cost tool. The calculator remains a separate product-based input, and its output cannot represent site works, shared facilities, delivery, installation or an operator business case by itself.
Do not infer occupancy, revenue, payback or staffing outcomes from a proposed number of units. Those calculations require an operator-owned scenario and should stay outside this planning page.
Turn the operating calendar into a precise enquiry
Provide the operating calendar, phase boundary, site questions and responsibility map. QHOME can then compare those inputs with documented product information and identify which questions remain with the project team. View the current catalogue records without treating them as a park collection.
The written response can separate confirmed product facts, excluded work and items requiring a quotation. Product suitability, quantities, specifications, scope, lead times and prices remain subject to project-specific confirmation.
