IRVINE, CA—Many hotel-renovation projects have aggressive schedules to minimize the loss of revenue due to room displacement and to minimize the time that guests see or hear construction on-site, Level 3 Construction’s VP of business development John Gonzalez tells GlobeSt.com. The firm recently completed a remodel of the DoubleTree by Hilton Irvine-Spectrum, owned and operated by Pacific Hospitality Group.

The DoubleTree property has 252 guestrooms and seven floors of corridors. Level 3 renovated 72 guestrooms and two floors of corridors every two weeks, with a brief overlap of each phase which was fully renovated within the short 75-day schedule. The hotel remained operational through the renovation.
