When PIPs and revenue collide

Brand-standard renovations have to happen without taking the hotel offline

Franchise PIPs come with deadlines. Guest reviews come with renovation noise complaints. Owners need work done to brand spec, on a schedule that protects ADR and occupancy. Generic GCs underestimate the sequencing, FF&E procurement, and operator coordination that a working hotel renovation requires. We’ve renovated several hundred guestrooms across the Key West Hotel Collection — Fairfield Inn & Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, The Gates — with the property staying open. Hospitality renovation isn’t a side service for us; it’s the spine of the bio.

Hotel renovation scope

  • Guestroom soft and hard renovation: paint, casegoods, soft goods, flooring, lighting, PTAC
  • Corridor renovation: carpet, wall vinyl, lighting, doors and hardware
  • Lobby and front-of-house renovation: millwork, finishes, FF&E coordination
  • F&B renovation: bar, restaurant, breakfast areas — under operating-hours constraints
  • Meeting room and ballroom refresh: carpet, lighting, AV-ready substrate
  • Bathroom modernization: tile, vanities, fixtures, ADA upgrades
  • PIP-driven scope reviews and brand-standard finish procurement
  • Phased schedule designed to keep rooms in inventory through the renovation

How we run a hotel renovation

  1. 01

    PIP review and walk

    Walk the property with GM, owner, and brand rep; reconcile PIP requirements with operational realities.

  2. 02

    Phased plan and budget

    Renovation phased by floor or section, with FF&E lead times built into the critical path.

  3. 03

    Mockup room

    Single mockup room/floor built first; owner and brand sign off before full rollout.

  4. 04

    Production rollout

    Renovation rolls through the property on schedule, rooms returned to inventory as they finish.

Hotel renovation — common questions

  • Can you keep rooms in inventory during renovation?

    Yes. Most projects phase floor-by-floor or block-by-block, with renovated rooms returned to inventory before the next phase starts. Total closure is sometimes faster on smaller properties — we’ll model both.

  • How do you handle FF&E procurement?

    Through brand-approved or owner-specified vendors. FF&E lead times drive the schedule on most modern renovations, so we lock specs and POs at the start, not mid-project.

  • What about brand-standard punch lists?

    We build the punch list with the brand rep during mockup-room approval. Production rollout uses the same QC checklist on every room — fewer surprises at brand walk-through.

  • Do you handle ADA upgrades?

    Yes — most hotel renovations now include ADA scope. We coordinate with the design team and code authority on accessible room counts, bathroom modifications, and common-area path-of-travel.

  • Can you help us with a soft renovation between PIPs?

    Yes. Soft renovations (paint, soft goods, light millwork) without full FF&E replacement are a common ask. We scope and price separately from a full PIP renovation.
