Minimal Disruption, Maximum Results

Renovate without closing your doors: our process keeps guests comfortable while we transform your hotel.

The right contractor can upgrade your property without interrupting operations. In a recent industry example, a phased renovation added 56 new rooms to an existing 61‑room property while guest services continued uninterrupted, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and event bookings. Another project saw occupancy and revenue increase after a comprehensive renovation. These outcomes illustrate how thoughtful phasing and communication keep your hotel thriving during construction.

Plan & Pre‑Con

Walk the property, review scope and occupancy patterns, and develop a phased schedule.

Protect & Prep

Install barriers, manage noise and dust, and establish clear guest wayfinding.

Execute & Monitor

Work off‑hours or by stacks, monitor progress daily and adjust phasing as needed.

Deliver & Turn Over

Clean and inspect each area before returning it to service; close out with punch walks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We’re here to help.

What is a hotel Property Improvement Plan (PIP)?

A Property Improvement Plan is a franchisor‑issued renovation scope that aligns a hotel with current brand standards and typically occurs every seven to fifteen years【63881685896238†L36-L41】.

How often are PIPs required?

Can you renovate while the hotel stays open?

Yes. We phase work by stacks or areas, schedule off‑hours shifts and manage noise, dust and wayfinding to keep guests comfortable.

How do you minimize disruption?

We carefully plan phasing, work off‑hours, install barriers, communicate with staff and guests, and perform daily clean‑up to minimize disruption. See our Minimal Disruption section for more details.

Do you handle brand approvals?

Yes. We coordinate with your designer and franchisor on submittals, model rooms and final approvals. Brand processes are proprietary and cannot be detailed publicly.

Do you renovate while the hotel is at high occupancy?

We adapt to occupancy patterns by scheduling work in slower periods or across multiple shifts to keep rooms available.
