Key Considerations
Early Launch
We launched the RFP Tracker mid-June with a call to the field — earlier than prior years — to give every department a full runway for a thorough, high-quality budget build.
Compressed Timeline
With twelve sequential deliverables, there is no buffer. Each milestone must be completed on time for the next to begin. Timelines vary by each property's contractual owner deadline.
Accountability
Each property's deadline is set by its Hotel Management Agreement. The eleven-step process is designed so that working each deliverable in order keeps every team accountable and on track.
The Short Version
Every date you see is already calculated from your owner deadline. All twelve steps are mapped out. Just follow the path one step at a time and you'll land where you need to be.
The market data is already baked in. STR and CoStar numbers are there to help you set targets that make sense instead of shooting in the dark.
Pull Revenue and Sales together before you dive into expenses. When everyone agrees on the story the numbers tell the rest gets way easier.
Your property team is the one handing this to ownership. This tool keeps you organized but the final call is yours. Make it count.
The 2027 Utility & Energy Budget Forecast has been finalized. It includes the quantified 2027 energy budget for the portfolio — electric and gas — along with property-level budgets, variances vs. 2026, and procurement / contract risk flags for each hotel.
