Project Scope

• 102 room full-service hotel
• 65,000 square feet

Challenge

Fulfill a critical housing shortage in the area by ensuring the project opened as scheduled while saving the customer considerable time and money during a short build season in North Dakota.

Solution

Champion served as the general contractor on this hybrid build project where the common areas were site constructed. The sleeping rooms were modular using a center corridor concept which maximized the size of each module while minimizing the shipping and set costs associated with the project. This also allowed each guestroom to be finished at the factory including flooring, cabinets and countertops.

The only interior work that remained was the corridor finish after all structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) connections were made. Once the modules were delivered to the site, Hayes Modular Group installed them using a crane and then made the structural connections and completed the EPDM roofing and wind wrap to “dry-in” the buildings.

After that, exterior siding and other site built accents were applied. The project required careful coordination between the modular and site constructed portions of the project. Serving as General Contractor of the project, Champion was able to accomplish this efficiently and cost-effectively for the customer.
