Project
Winslow Hotel
Like many hospitality projects, the Winslow Hotel was under pressure to meet strict design expectations while minimizing costs and avoiding construction delays. Lighting specifications were ambitious, and any deviation risked compromising the guest experience.
Compounding the challenge were product lead times, fragmented manufacturer coordination, and on-site design inconsistencies, all of which threatened budget and execution. Personnel turnover within the contracting team added further complexity, creating a gap between the design team, owner, and site staff. AWL was tasked with bridging that gap on behalf of the GC, ensuring lighting met aesthetic goals while avoiding the cost overruns typical in the hospitality sector.
AWL stepped into a consultative role on the GC’s behalf — not just as a vendor, but as a trusted partner. This meant guiding the entire lighting and controls process, including logistics and coordination with contractors and trades. The team selected high-quality, standard fixtures from trusted manufacturing partners to maintain visual consistency, control costs, and ensure product availability.
By consolidating manufacturers and offering value-engineered alternatives where field conditions demanded it, AWL preserved the original design intent without introducing additional cost or delay. The result was a lighting package that honored the architectural vision while avoiding the pitfalls of over-customization and fragmented sourcing.
Although the Winslow Hotel scope was material-only, AWL’s engagement extended well beyond supply. As an integral member of the project team, AWL supported the GC, design consultants, and site contractors to ensure the lighting installation aligned with design goals and real-world site conditions.
Logistics and application reviews were led by AWL’s experienced team, allowing the contractor to proceed confidently, even as project variables evolved on site.
AWL delivered a design-faithful lighting solution for the Winslow Hotel through its GC partner. By guiding procurement and execution, AWL preserved the project’s aesthetic goals while preventing delays and cost overruns.

Hospitality
The Winslow Hotel in Winslow, Arizona, relied on American Wholesale Lighting (AWL) contracted through the project’s General Contractor to deliver a smarter, more reliable lighting solution for a ground-up hospitality development. Hotel projects often face budget overruns and product availability challenges, especially during pre-construction. AWL’s early involvement allowed the team to proactively address both risks, ensuring that the lighting scope was delivered on time, on budget, and with full design fidelity.
This project exemplifies how AWL goes beyond product supply to act as a strategic partner, navigating procurement, specification, and coordination across project stakeholders.
