Week 4: Day 3

Four Seasons Hotel and Resort

On Tuesday the interns visited the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort. The Project Manager, Jihad Choueiri, gave the interns a tour of the building to point out many of its finishes. The luxuriousness of the resort was breathtaking. When you first enter the lobby you are surrounded by a gold mosaic and in front of you is a spiral staircase with hand blown glass railings that are encrusted with gold. The old expression "all that glitters is not gold" does not apply to this resort, everything that glitters is gold. The students also saw columns that were made of book matched marble. Jihad told the interns that each of these columns cost a small fortune and there were at least twelve of them.




Project Feasibility Lecture

When the students returned from the site visit, Mr. Yabroudi gave the interns a brief lecture on project feasibility studies and site assessments. He outlined how critical it was for the client to consider all of the costs related to undertaking a project and how they relate to the expected revenue that the project will make.
