Drafting, BIM and Rollout Support That Keeps Rooms Revenue ready


Renovations, brand refreshes, and PIP (Property Improvement Plan) cycles can’t wait. Every day a room is offline is lost revenue. Lynx Professional Services (LynxPros) helps hotel owners, asset managers, brand teams, and architects move from concept to permit to punch list faster with on demand drafting, BIM, visualization, and rollout support built for multi-property programs across the United States.


What Hotels and Hotel Architects Ask Us To Do


1) Permit-ready drawing sets


  • Floor plans, RCPs, elevations, interior details, schedules

  • ADA/IBC notes (guestroom counts, accessible routes, fixture clearances)

  • Sheet naming and file standards aligned to your architect/brand templates

  • Rapid redline turnarounds to clear local AHJ reviews


2) As-built to BIM / CAD


  • Scan-to-BIM from point clouds for guest rooms, corridors, lobbies, BOH, kitchens

  • Legacy DWGs cleaned, standardized, and structured for reuse across properties


3) FF&E & finishes packages


  • Room typologies documented for efficient ordering and installation

  • Door, hardware, lighting, plumbing, and finish schedules that installers trust


4) Visualization that sells decisions


  • 3D modeling (Revit/SketchUp), stills, and quick walkthroughs (Twinmotion/Lumion)

  • Side-by-side optioning for brand committees and owner approvals


5) Rollout program support


  • Multi-property drawing libraries, detail banks, and change logs

  • Version control and transmittal tracking so GCs and subs always use the latest set


Tip: Many clients use our overnight drafting advantage, drop redlines at 6pm ET, review fresh sheets the next day.


Where LynxPros Fits in U.S. Hotels Project Timelines


Due diligence → Concept → DD → CDs → Permitting → Construction → Closeout


  • Due diligence: fast plan take-offs, room count checks, ADA risk flags

  • Design development: options, material swaps, value-engineering visuals

  • Construction documents: coordinated, fully tagged sheets with schedules

  • Permitting: jurisdiction-aware packaging (cover sheets, energy or local forms)

  • Construction: RFI support, detail callouts, “issued for construction” revisions

  • Closeout: record sets and updated BIM/CAD for future refresh cycles


Hotel-Specific Details We Handle Every Day


  • ADA guestroom distribution: mobility vs. communication rooms, dispersion across floors and room types

  • Back-of-house reality: service corridors, laundry, housekeeping closets, receiving

  • Kitchen/restaurant touchpoints: equipment coordination, clearances, MEP rough-ins

  • Brand standards: sheet notes and room kits aligned with flag requirements (fixtures, finishes, signage zones)

  • Phasing plans: keep floors live while renovating stacks clear unit counts per phase

  • Historic/Coastal/Seismic nuances: local notes and attachments that avoid permit delays

Engagement Models That Work With U.S. Hotel Teams


  • On-demand tasking: “here are the redlines; turn this in 24-48 hours”

  • Dedicated production pods: consistent drafters/designers aligned to your workflows, titles blocks, and file naming

  • Program support: a steady team handling PIP waves across multiple locations and states

  • Security and reliability are standard: NDAs, named resources, controlled file access, and clear issue logs.


Results Owners and Architects Care About


  • Fewer permit comments: jurisdiction-aware checklists and complete attachments

  • Cleaner CDs on first issue: integrated schedules and cross-checked tags

  • Faster approvals and installs: clear, buildable details reduce RFIs and rework

  • Reusable detail libraries: each project makes the next one cheaper and faster


A Simple Way to Start


  • Share a current set (or scanned markups) and your title block.

  • Tell us the AHJ and any brand constraints.

  • We run a no-charge pilot on a contained scope (e.g., one room type + corridor).

  • Review, refine, and then scale to the full set or multi-property rollout.


Example Scopes We Can Turn Quickly


  • Convert legacy CAD to a standardized Revit model for a 12-story city hotel

  • ADA audit/markups on typical guest room types and public areas

  • Full FF&E schedule extraction and sheet packaging for procurement

  • RCP/lighting refresh with fixture schedule and controls notes

  • Kitchen back-of-house revision with equipment tags and MEP rough-ins

  • Lobby reimaging visuals for an owner presentation this month


Why Hotel Teams Choose LynxPros


  • Speed without surprises: predictable turnarounds and transparent scope notes

  • Aligned with your tools: Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Twinmotion, Lumion

  • U.S. market fluency: ADA, IBC, and brand-standard workflows

  • Scalable capacity: surge support during PIP waves or seasonal upgrades

  • Clear communication: issue logs, version control, and tidy transmittals


Do you stamp drawings?

No. We work with your licensed professionals (or one you choose) to include the right calculations and seals.

Can you help if we only have PDFs or paper scans?

Yes. We trace/convert to CAD or Revit and can add measured updates or point-cloud data if available.

What about brand standards?

Provide the latest brand guide or room kit and we’ll align sheets, notes, and schedules to it.

How fast can we start?

Share the scope today; we can typically begin a no-charge pilot immediately and agree a steady cadence for the full set.
