Hotel Model Room Checklist: From Drawings to Production Approval

This guide provides a procurement framework, not a substitute for project engineering, code review, contractual terms, or product-specific documentation.

Confirm the review baseline

Distribute one current drawing set, one finish schedule, and one written list of open decisions. Record revision dates so the design team, owner, purchasing team, and manufacturer review the same information.

Check fit and circulation

Measure the installed room, not only the drawing. Review bed clearances, drawer and door swings, luggage placement, housekeeping access, outlet locations, and the path for moving furniture into the room.

Review interfaces

Check how headboards meet walls, how stone meets cabinetry, how vanities meet plumbing zones, and how power modules connect to available electrical infrastructure. Interfaces create many model-room changes.

Inspect construction and finish

Review visible edges, joints, grain direction, hardware alignment, drawer action, door gaps, upholstery seams, and finish consistency under the room lighting. Record accepted samples and rejected samples separately.

Close decisions before release

Create a punch list with owners and due dates. Production approval should identify the final drawing revision, accepted finish sample, hardware selection, packaging requirements, and any approved exceptions.
