A Days Inn property in Windsor Locks needed full existing-conditions documentation to support a renovation and Property Improvement Plan (PIP) for brand compliance. As with every hotel PIP survey, the property remained fully operational throughout – the team had to get into as many of the 125 guest rooms as possible without disrupting guests or day-to-day hotel operations, alongside every back-of-house area, the lobby, and the breakfast room.
Working an occupied hotel at this pace and scale is a different discipline from most commercial surveys. It takes a scanning team that can move fast without sacrificing accuracy, adapt room by room to whatever access is actually available on a given day, and hold that standard for three straight days under real time pressure – the kind of work that’s genuinely hard to resource well.
The brief covered the full property: guest rooms across both floors, all back-of-house areas, the lobby, and the breakfast room. The client needed full floor plans, guest room type plans, reflected ceiling plans, and interior elevations for each room type as well as the lobby and any unique rooms, delivered as coordinated CAD, PDF, and Revit as-builts, alongside a full 3D virtual tour of the property – fast enough that the design team could start work immediately.
Our scanning team worked through the property over three days, capturing 97% of the 125 guest rooms along with all back-of-house, lobby, and breakfast areas, adapting room by room around guest occupancy without slowing the pace needed to hit the schedule. Every space was captured with 3D LiDAR scanning at millimetre-level accuracy, alongside imagery for a full 3D virtual tour.
The point cloud was registered and processed, and our BIM team built out full floor plans, guest room type plans, reflected ceiling plans, and interior elevations for each room type, the lobby, and unique rooms, checking every deliverable against the point cloud before it reached the client – all completed within a 2–3 week turnaround from a three-day capture.
Complete as-built documentation including CAD, PDF, and a coordinated Revit model covering guest room types, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and interior elevations was delivered alongside a full 3D virtual tour, with 97% of guest rooms captured plus every back-of-house, lobby, and breakfast area, all from a three-day site visit with zero disruption to hotel operations.
For a property working toward a brand-compliance renovation, the value was speed without a drop in quality and the design team had everything they needed to get straight to work on the drawings, rather than waiting on incomplete data or a second site visit to fill gaps.
