JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa, San Antonio
The JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa’s compressed schedule was the biggest challenge on the project. The original opening date was moved from March 2010 to January to accommodate the Texas Open Golf tournament that would be using the adjacent courses the following month.
Obstacles encountered during the project included incorporating the architect’s design with Marriott design standards while still keeping the project within budget and on track. The number of changes throughout the project required the GC/CM, Austin Commercial, to work closely with the architect and owner to price out and then integrate the changes immediately into the construction document sets of all subcontractors and field personnel.
