Hotel brand relicensing and mandatory 6-year franchise PIPs (Property Improvement Plans) require tight trade coordination. Whether executing a Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Choice, or Wyndham brand renovation, general contractors and subcontractors must scope projects to brand specifications while maintaining active guest occupancy.
Guestroom Finish Trade Packages
In hotel construction, speed and repeatability govern profitability. The guestroom package represents 70% of total project value and requires clear scope separation:
1. Wall Finishes & Paint Scope
- Removal of existing 54-inch vinyl wallcovering (VWC) without tearing gypsum face paper.
- Application of Roman PRO-977 or equal heavy-duty primer/sealer over skim-coated drywall.
- Installation of brand-specified 20 oz. Type II commercial vinyl with matched pattern repeats.
- Low-VOC commercial eggshell topcoat on ceiling decks and bathroom wet areas.
2. Bathrooms, Vanities & Stone Tops
- Demolition of existing cultured marble tops and damaged apron skirts.
- Installation of engineered quartz vanities (pre-drilled for 4" or 8" widespread faucets) with undermount vitreous china sink bowls.
- Plumbing rough-in verification for P-traps, ADA compliant offset drains, and thermostatic mixing valves.
- Backlit LED mirror installation with dedicated GFCI line-voltage connections.
Bidding & Submittal Sequencing
