For Immediate Release
Intercontinental’s Holiday Inn Express Is First Hotel In The Nation To Install New Pre-Built Bathrooms
93 Bathrooms Delivered in Four Days
CONCORD, Mass. May 1, 2006 -- Eggrock LLC announced the first-ever installation of 93 pre-built guest bathrooms for a Holiday Inn Express, built by Platinum Hospitality Management in Cookville, Tenn. Bathrooms are one of the most problematic aspects of hotel construction and are notorious for causing schedule delays and quality problems. Eggrock’s pioneering approach eliminated that problem by manufacturing the Holiday Inn Express bathrooms in a controlled factory and delivering them to the construction site ready to install. All 93 bathrooms were placed into the hotel in only four days which resulted in a in a significant reduction in construction schedule. Each bathroom was pre-tested and inspected to conform to Holiday Inn Express brand’s stringent quality requirements.
“Bathrooms are a critical part of hotel construction because they require a variety of high-skilled trades to be perfectly coordinated under less-than-ideal construction site conditions,” said Mitch Patel, president of Platinum Hospitality Management. “Eggrock’s pre-built bathrooms eliminate this problem by providing a plug-and-play solution to a very complex room. As a result we will open our Holiday Inn Express in record time and with a dramatically improved workmanship quality.”
“Eggrock is delighted to partner with Platinum Hospitality to achieve this significant milestone for Holiday Inn Express as well as the entire US hotel construction industry” said Jeff Barrett, president and CEO of Eggrock. “Mitch Patel is a visionary in his use of this technology to streamline hotel construction and his persistence has paid off through shorter construction time and the elimination of one of the biggest headaches in hotel construction.”
