HPM was hired to oversee the restoration of 160 guestrooms and other ancillary buildings. It quickly became evident to the tribe leadership that they were lacking the planning and organizational manpower needed to get the work completed on time, so they sought a program manager with the necessary experience to lead the way. The tribe initially hired a restoration contractor to do the work, and while the demolition and removal of wet and damaged materials progressed quickly, the restoration effort faltered, leaving no area of the hotel occupiable. The Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship was scheduled for November and Christmas season occupancy for the Seven Clans Hotel was also a top priority. The multi-million square foot project includes a casino with approximately 1,600 slot machines and 60 table games, a hotel with 700 guest rooms and suites, a variety of food and beverage outlets, an 18-hole golf course, a tennis club, swimming pools, a spa and 3,000 parking spaces. In August 2020, Hurricane Laura caused significant damage to the Coushatta Casino Resort and the restoration project that followed was made particularly difficult due to a tight timeline.

The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana is no stranger to the destruction a hurricane can leave in its path.
