Yes — this is the standard approach for occupied hotel renovations. We phase construction floor-by-floor or wing-by-wing so the rest of the property keeps operating and generating revenue throughout the project.

The required number of guest rooms with mobility features scales with your total room count under a tiered table in the 2010 ADA Standards, plus a separate, smaller requirement for rooms with communication features — we calculate your specific requirement based on your property's total room count during design.

The Florida Building Code sets legal minimums for life safety, accessibility, and construction; a brand's property improvement plan (PIP) is a separate, often stricter set of finish, FF&E, and systems requirements the franchisor imposes to maintain brand standards — a renovation for a flagged property has to satisfy both simultaneously.

Often, yes — the ADA accessible route requirement extends to amenity spaces like pools, fitness centers, and meeting rooms, so a guest-room-focused renovation doesn't automatically bring those areas into compliance if they weren't already.

We coordinate closely with hotel operations on noise-generating work windows, contain dust and debris to the active construction floor, and route material staging and deliveries away from active guest traffic areas.

Typically separate — our contract covers construction (walls, MEP, waterproofing, built-in casework), while furniture, fixtures, and equipment are usually procured through a separate vendor relationship that we sequence against our construction schedule so each floor is ready for FF&E installation as soon as it's complete.

Routine renovation generally doesn't require a new DBPR license, but significant changes to room count, occupancy, or major system changes may require updated documentation with the Division of Hotels and Restaurants — we confirm this against your specific scope early in planning.

This varies with room count and scope, but a typical floor in a phased renovation often takes several weeks from close-out to reopening once construction, inspections, and FF&E installation are all accounted for — multiplying that by the number of floors, sequenced with overlap where possible, sets the overall project timeline.
