What drives Miami Hotel PIP Renovation cost
PIP timelines are brand-dictated and often compressed, forcing phased/occupied renovations that raise labor costs and require night/weekend work in South Florida. Coastal properties face wind-load code upgrades (impact windows/doors), stringent Miami-Dade/Broward permitting, and hurricane-driven material lead times. Brand-standard FF&E specs, older-building surprises (asbestos, outdated MEP, ADA), and high regional labor demand all push budgets up.
Scope of Work
Guestroom and public-space PIPs, soft-goods and case-goods, corridors, and FF&E — phased to keep the hotel open, on-brand, and on schedule.
Trade Depth & Schedule
Phased construction, FF&E procurement/install, MEP, and brand-standard compliance.

Hotel PIP Renovation in Miami — Frequently Asked
What is a hotel PIP and why does it drive renovation cost?
A Property Improvement Plan is the brand's (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, etc.) mandatory list of upgrades tied to franchise/management agreements. Because scope and finish specs are dictated by the brand rather than owner preference, costs are largely fixed by their standards and completion deadlines, leaving limited room to value-engineer.
Can we stay open during the PIP renovation?
Most South Florida PIPs are done occupied, floor-by-floor or wing-by-wing, to protect revenue. This is doable but adds 10–20% for phasing, dust/noise controls, guest-safety measures, off-hours labor, and longer overall schedules versus a full closure.
How long does a typical hotel PIP take in South Florida?
A soft-goods refresh runs roughly 3–6 months; a full case-goods and bathroom PIP on a mid-size property typically takes 8–14 months including design, brand approvals, and permitting. Miami-Dade/Broward permit review, impact-window lead times, and long-lead FF&E are the most common schedule risks.
What unexpected costs come up on older coastal hotels?
Common surprises include asbestos/lead abatement, outdated plumbing and electrical that must be brought to current code, concrete restoration/spalling from salt exposure, ADA compliance upgrades, and wind-load requirements for windows and doors. Budgeting a 10–15% contingency is strongly advised.
