B&B Hotels Diegem

STRABAG Belgium was commissioned to construct a hotel featuring both underground and above-ground parking, complemented by environmentally conscious landscaping.

This private turnkey contract included structural works, finishing, coordination of technical installations, and external works.

Since the works had to start on an existing foundation slab, the preparation phase differed from a standard project, and the building was completed in several stages: the structural phase, the construction of a few sample rooms, and finally the finishing phase.

As part of an innovative technical approach, prefabricated shafts were chosen. This prefab solution significantly accelerated the construction process and improved on-site efficiency.

One of the major challenges of this project was the limited space on site. To address this, the 5S principle was applied — sort, set in order, shine, standardise, sustain — a method focused on order, cleanliness, and efficiency in the workplace. Specifically, the 5S circulation zones were clearly marked on the site layout plan and visually highlighted on-site with red carpet strips. This ensured a safe and well-organised working environment despite the restricted space.
