Hotel Renovation Toronto in Brampton

Almost all PIPs do. Standard phasing is 10-15% of keys out of inventory at a time, usually grouped by floor or column. Noise windows are typically 8am-7pm with no work in occupied adjacent rooms. Corridor work is done overnight (10pm-6am) using ultra-low-noise methods. Adds 25-35% to schedule vs full closure but maintains revenue.

Brand contracts (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Accor) require PIPs on franchise renewal — typically 7-10 yr cycle for soft refresh, 12-15 yr for full. Brand inspectors score the property biennially; chronic low scores can also trigger an accelerated PIP. Owners can also self-initiate to improve ADR.

Soft goods only (paint, carpet, drapes, reupholster): $45-$80K. Full refresh (new case goods, bathroom retile, fan coil): $90-$150K. Luxury (custom millwork, stone bath, smart room): $170-$320K. Add 10-15% for corridor proportional allocation and 5-8% for back-of-house improvements.

No — brand standards are minimums above OBC, never substitutes. Where they conflict (rare but happens with US-derived spec books), OBC and Ontario Fire Code prevail. Common conflict point: brand requires a specific door undercut for HVAC return air; OBC fire separation requires the door to remain rated. Resolution is usually a door-bottom seal that maintains both.

Mock-up room build 4-6 weeks after design finalization; brand walkthrough and approval 4-8 weeks after that (limited by inspector travel and round-trip changes). Total mock-up cycle: 8-14 weeks from design lock. Bulk construction starting before mock-up approval is the single most common cost overrun trigger.
