Why Pulse?

Getting you on site

When you bring our hotel and hospitality construction consultants on board, we’ll be with you from project inception, through planning, to build and beyond. We’ve an outstanding record for getting projects to site – focusing on your critical success factors and rigorously managing your project to turn bold plans into beautiful and fully operational new destinations.

Realising your brand vision

We understand how crucial brand is to hotel and hospitality construction, so right from day one, we’ll immerse our team in your brand vision and put it right at the heart of our decision-making process. To make sure we achieve it, we’ll set quality standards early and meticulously, creating sample rooms and conducting extensive testing.

Creating cost-efficiencies

We approach every project with commerciality and cost-efficiency, encouraging a design-by-cost approach that keeps large-scale hotel and hospitality projects on track. So however ambitious your design, you’ll know your budget is sacrosanct to the project’s success, and we’ll work every day to deliver on it, through careful procurement and, where required, creative cost control.

Proactively managing risk

We use risk-based thinking models to protect your project from day one, conducting due diligence on your site, reporting on challenges and constraints, and exploring all available options. We’ll also drive efficient procurement strategies that de-risk your hospitality and hotel projects from a programme and commercial perspective using our extensive supply chain in this sector - established over the past 20 years by our sector team.

Our experienced Pulse Consult team offers in-depth environmental, social and conservation impact assessments, as well as a vast knowledge of the best ways to build sustainability initiatives into complex, large-scale projects. We help our clients deliver energy-reducing roll-outs across vast estates nationally.

Building collaborative teams

We’re a genuinely collaborative construction consultancy. We bring together our own expert project managers, cost consultants and employer’s agents, and work alongside renowned external specialists, including architects, interior designers, MEP consultants and structural engineers, to create a motivated, proactive project team.
