Interior renovation construction services provider First Finish has completed the second phase of renovations at the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort and Convention Center in Florida, the largest Marriott in the world.

With a project schedule of 17 weeks, the 604-room renovation project finished ten days ahead of the scheduled 7 January 2011 completion date.

As with phase one, also completed by First Finish, the update provided the Orlando World Center consistency with new brand standards. The project included new doors, door hardware, millwork, crown molding, new closets, new lighting fixtures, carpet replacement, knockdown wall finish, and a comprehensive FF&E package. In addition to the guest rooms, there was significant public space work completed such as railing work, millwork, new tile, and elevator cab interiors.

The extensive renovation project was accomplished during high occupancy periods in adjacent areas of the hotel. As such, the project team accommodated the hotel’s schedule of operations and was able to maintain the appearance of working areas to minimise impact on guests.

The Orlando World Center Marriott Resort and Convention Center spans over 1.3 million square feet on 200 acres of property. Situated in the hub of tourist travel to Florida, it comprises more than 2,000 guest rooms and suites as well as 450,000 square feet of flexible event space.

First Finish, Inc. is a general contracting firm specializing in hospitality renovations and construction. The firm is a recent recipient of the 2010 Gold Hard Hat award for work completed on the Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado.
