Hyatt Sunset Harbor

Forty timeshare units renovated in five months in Key West, with the resort open the whole time.

A timeshare runs on a calendar that is set long before a contractor arrives.

Owners book their weeks ahead. Those weeks belong to them. A hotel with a slipping schedule can move a guest to another room or another night. A timeshare cannot move an owner's week, because that week is the thing the owner bought.

So the renovation had a hard end date before it had a start date.

Forty units made that tighter. Forty is the property, not a wing of it. There was no quiet corner to work in while the rest of the resort carried on as normal, which meant the work had to move through occupied inventory and leave each unit ready for the next owner on the calendar.

Scope

What we did

3 items of scope

Stabilis was general contractor for the timeshare unit renovation at Hyatt Sunset Harbor in Key West.

• 01Renovated all 40 timeshare units
• 02Interior renovation, the finishes owners live with on their week
• 03Delivered with the resort open and operating throughout

One general contractor, one unit standard

Stabilis held the contract and ran a single specification across all forty units. Every owner arriving for their week walks into the same standard, whichever unit they hold.

Phased around the calendar, not around us

Units moved through renovation in stages rather than all at once, so the resort stayed open and operating and owners kept arriving for their weeks.

Five months, fixed

On a timeshare the calendar sets the end date and the schedule has to meet it. We planned the program backwards from that date rather than forwards from the start.
