Converting an operating 69-key Holiday Inn Express to IHG Formula Blue Contemporary standards starts with resolving every bathroom finish, seating quantity, and millwork detail before crews open a single wall. For this Brazoria County, Texas renovation, the procurement and construction scope aligned room-by-room takeoffs directly with brand Property Improvement Plan mandates.
Room Mix and Bath Fixture Alignment
The guestroom count spans seven distinct unit configurations across standard and accessible bays:
- King layouts: 27 Standard Kings, 10 King Suites, 1 ADA King, and 1 ADA King Suite requiring 39 King headboards and matching wall-hung casegoods.
- Double Queen layouts: 22 Standard Double Queens, 7 Double Queen Suites, and 1 ADA Double Queen requiring 30 Queen headboards and coordinated nightstand clearances.
- Wet-area upgrades: 69 white quartz vanity tops, 69 tub and shower surrounds, 69 heavy 10mm tempered sliding and fixed glass shower doors, and 69 functional garment racks.
Seating and bedding quantities scaled directly to the unit count, pairing 61 chaise lounges with 18 sleeper sofas across the suite inventory. Separating tile and carpet takeoffs by bay geometry prevented mid-floor shortages once installation began.
Public Area Millwork and Lobby Flow
Front-of-house renovations replaced legacy millwork with two compact check-in pods built around translucent backlit 3-form lightbox panels. A 96-by-60-inch two-tier stone-top communal table anchored the business zone alongside a 96-by-42-inch library table wired with integrated power and USB outlets.
Supporting amenity packages extended to an upgraded fitness towel console and poolside hamper station, unifying the guest experience from check-in through upper-floor corridors in Brazoria County.
