This lobby finish plan was developed in coordination with Hilton brand standards and vendor specifications, updating and drafting construction-ready documentation for the Jacksonville, AL property. The scope required working within IHG Hilton's established guidelines for spatial layout, finish specifications, and furniture placement while adapting those standards to the existing building conditions on site.

The plan encompasses the reception area, vestibule, lobby seating, and lobby/breakfast space, with each zone documented to reflect both brand compliance and functional flow. Furniture selections and carpet specifications, referenced through vendor coordination, are called out and dimensioned to ensure accurate installation and consistency with Hilton's prototype requirements.

The primary challenge and value of this scope was reconciling existing as-built conditions with updated brand standards, producing clean, dimensioned drawings that could serve as a reliable reference for contractors and ownership without requiring a full ground-up redesign.

This Level 1 FF&E and Finish Plan documents the renovation scope across the full ground floor, coordinating furniture placement, finish specifications, and material selections within the existing building footprint. The work involved developing the front desk area design alongside broader finish decisions for corridors, public spaces, and back of house zones.

Material coordination is reflected throughout the plan, including new quartz tops with a refinished face at the desk, restored ceiling and tile in key public areas, and new finish partitions carried consistently across the renovation scope. ADA compliance was addressed through the PA-303 ADA designation, and existing conditions were carefully documented and noted where finishes, carpet, and tile were to remain versus be updated.

The FF&E plan layer coordinates vendor specified furniture and area rugs across the lobby and public seating zones, with pattern and placement called out to align with brand standards. Working between the finish plan and FF&E plan simultaneously required close attention to how material transitions, furniture placement, and renovation limits interacted across the floor plate.

This guest room documentation set covers the typical double queen room type, presented as a complete drawing package including finish plan, furniture plan, and all four wall elevations. The scope involved translating existing CAD drawings into Revit, rebuilding the room as an accurate model that could serve as a reliable template across repeating room types throughout the property.

The furniture plan coordinates vendor specified FF&E across the sleeping, work, and bathroom zones, with each piece tagged and dimensioned to Hilton brand standards. Wall elevations document the headboard wall, window wall, TV wall, and bathroom wall in detail, capturing millwork relationships, fixture placement, and finish transitions that would be difficult to communicate through plan alone.

Migrating this documentation from CAD to Revit required careful attention to maintaining dimensional accuracy while rebuilding components in a format that supports the broader project model. Establishing the typical room as a Revit template allows finish and furniture updates to be applied consistently and efficiently across all standard room types without redrafting from scratch.
