NATIONAL CHAIN FRANCHISE

HOTEL GUEST ROOM CODE COMPLIANCE UPDATES

Courtyard by Marriott Plan Modifications

Project Details: Multi-Location Hotels | National | 40,000 SF typical | Plan Modifications

Services: Construction Drawing Modifications, Corporate Standards Compliance

This national project modified Courtyard by Marriott guest room plans, elevations, and details for multiple locations, updating construction drawing sets to meet local code requirements while maintaining corporate design standards.

THE CHALLENGE

Hotel franchise development requires balancing competing demands:

• Corporate standards compliance: All Courtyard by Marriott properties must follow strict franchise design and construction guidelines

• Local code variations: Building codes, accessibility requirements, and construction standards vary significantly by jurisdiction

• Multiple locations: Changes needed to work across numerous simultaneous development projects

• Construction document coordination: Unit plans, elevations, and detail drawings all required coordinated modifications

• Tight timelines: Hotel development schedules demand quick turnaround on plan modifications

Franchise developers needed a reliable partner who understood both corporate hotel standards and local code requirements, capable of modifying construction drawing sets efficiently without compromising design intent.

THE SOLUTION

We provided construction drawing modification services for Courtyard by Marriott developments, working within the established franchise design framework to adapt plans for local requirements:

Corporate Standards Expertise: Developed thorough understanding of Courtyard by Marriott design and construction guidelines, ensuring all modifications maintained franchise compliance.

Code Adaptation: Modified unit plans to address jurisdiction-specific requirements including:

• Local accessibility standards variations

• Regional building code differences

• Fire safety and egress requirement variations

• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing code differences

Coordinated Modifications: Updated unit plans, elevations, and construction details in coordinated sets, ensuring all drawings reflected changes consistently throughout the documentation.

Efficient Workflow: Established streamlined processes for plan modifications, enabling quick turnaround times that kept development projects on schedule.

Our work focused on the technical aspects of adapting standardized designs to local requirements—the essential but unglamorous work that keeps hotel development projects moving forward.
