Marriott

Project Overview

QCAB partnered with Marriott-affiliated hotel franchise owners to deliver elevator cab interior upgrades aligned with Marriott brand standards. While QCAB does not work directly with Marriott International, each project was designed to meet the visual, durability, and compliance expectations associated with the Marriott brand.

The goal was to enhance guest experience while maintaining consistency across high-traffic hospitality environments.

The Challenge

Marriott-branded properties operate under strict design and quality guidelines, particularly in guest-facing areas such as elevators. Franchise operators required:

  • Interiors that aligned with brand aesthetic standards

  • Durable materials suitable for frequent use

  • Predictable lead times to fit refurbishment schedules

  • Efficient installation to minimise disruption to guests

Traditional elevator interior solutions often introduced long delays and extended elevator downtime, creating operational challenges for active hotel properties.

The QCAB Solution

QCAB delivered custom elevator cab interiors designed to reflect Marriott brand expectations while streamlining production and installation.

By manufacturing all components in-house and using modular, code-compliant systems, QCAB ensured:

  • Consistent finishes and detailing across properties

  • Reliable quality control at every stage

  • Faster turnaround compared to traditional suppliers

Each interior was tailored to the individual property while remaining consistent with Marriott’s overall design direction.

The Results

Brand Alignment

  • Elevator interiors delivered in line with Marriott brand standards and hospitality design expectations.

Lead Time Efficiency

  • Shortened manufacturing and delivery timelines, enabling projects to stay on schedule.

Installation Speed

  • Rapid installation reduced elevator downtime and minimised guest disruption.

Long-Term Performance

  • Durable, easy-to-maintain materials suited for high-traffic hotel environments.

The Outcome

Marriott-branded franchise properties received premium elevator interiors that enhanced the guest experience while maintaining brand consistency and operational efficiency. QCAB’s approach allowed franchise owners to upgrade their elevators with confidence, knowing the finished result aligned with brand standards without unnecessary delays or cost escalation.

QCAB was founded by Jim Maton, an experienced manufacturing engineer with a long career in industrial and elevator manufacturing. Having worked as a general manager at a cab manufacturing company, Jim saw first-hand how outdated processes limited innovation and increased costs across the industry. When that business dissolved, QCAB was launched with a clear vision: to create a modern, efficient, and scalable solution for elevator cab interiors that benefits both manufacturers and installers.
