Hotel & Hospitality Building in Southern California Concrete Design and Construction Of Hotels, Motels, Resorts & More
The construction of full service and express hotels, motels, and resorts has always relied on the use of concrete, but newer construction relies on the newest techniques and materials popular in this type of building. When selecting a contractor for your project, choosing professionals known for their expertise in hospitality building makes sense.
While hotel rates reflect the amenities the place has and costs of labor, administration, and marketing, operating costs such as maintenance and energy and utility costs play a major role too. Structures with poor energy efficiency tend to have insufficient insulation to block extremes in temperature and noise coming from the highway and from adjoining rooms. These conditions may limit repeat business and impact rates and vacancy.
No matter what type of building you desire, Ramirez Concrete, Inc. will use the most cost-effective process for your hotel and hospitality development, construction, or expansion. For projects large or small, call RCI at 714-563-1650 to arrange a consultation.

Reinforced with rebar and combined with concrete columns and tie, concrete blocks are commonly used for the load-bearing walls of buildings. This concrete block structure (CBS) construction uses a variety of block sizes and shapes, which are laid in a staggered pattern, like bricks. CMU construction is ideal when the ready- mix concrete play is more than 1.5 hours from the job site.
First used for residential construction, insulating concrete forms (ICFs) sandwich concrete between two layers of insulation material (expanded or extruded polystyrene foam, cement-bonded wood fiber, cement-bonded polystyrene beads, cellular concrete). The insulation remains in place before adding interior drywall and flooring and as an exterior substrate for roofing, siding, brick, or stucco. These systems are strong and energy efficient as ICFs offer soundproofing, thermal insulation, fire resistance, pest resistance, improved air quality, mold resistance and regulated humidity level. Since the construction is modular, labor costs are reduced.
Another technique that speeds construction and cuts construction cost is tilt-up construction. After laying a reinforced concrete slab, panels are created at the work site (or in a factory) using wood forms, rebar, and concrete and the completed panels are tilted into place. This technique, invented over 100 years ago, is popular for hotels. Modern tilt-up technology has made the process safer from wind damage.
