Structural Demolition & Lintel Installation • Hyannis, MA

Structural Demolition Lintel Installation Holiday Inn Express Hyannis

Commercial Renovation Project Overview • Hyannis, MA

We completed structural and selective demolition at the Holiday Inn Express in Hyannis, Massachusetts, supporting a renovation project designed to improve the functionality and flow of interior spaces.

The project required creating five new door openings through existing structural walls, creating a more open and usable layout within the hotel. Working within an active hospitality environment and under a tight schedule, our team coordinated closely with engineers and project stakeholders to ensure all structural modifications were completed safely and accurately, in alignment with design specifications.

This work was performed on behalf of AON Hospitality Group, a regional operator managing multiple hotel properties across Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and Florida.

Structural Demolition & Modification Scope • Hyannis Hotel Project

Our team executed a highly coordinated scope of work focused on structural modification and safe demolition practices, including:

Selective demolition of structural wall sections to create five new door openings
Construction of temporary CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls to maintain structural integrity during work
Installation of engineered shoring systems to support loads throughout the process
Fabrication and installation of custom steel lintels for each new opening
Use of high-pressure grout pumping to properly secure and stabilize structural elements

Each phase of the work required careful sequencing to maintain building stability while allowing for efficient progress.

Safety Controls During Structural Demolition • Hyannis, MA

Structural demolition projects require strict attention to safety, particularly when modifying load-bearing elements. Our team implemented comprehensive controls, including:

Engineered shoring systems designed to support structural loads during wall removal
Controlled demolition methods to minimize vibration and unintended structural impact
Continuous monitoring of structural conditions throughout each phase of work
Coordination with site management to maintain safe working conditions within an occupied property

These measures ensured that all work was performed safely while protecting both workers and the integrity of the building.

Engineering Coordination & Compliance

Due to the structural nature of the work, daily coordination with project engineers was essential. Our team obtained daily engineering sign-offs, verifying that each phase of demolition and lintel installation met required structural standards.

This level of oversight ensured:

Proper load transfer through newly installed lintels
Compliance with applicable building codes and engineering specifications
Safe progression from demolition through structural reinforcement

Project Outcome • Completed Ahead of Peak Season

The project was successfully completed on time and on budget, allowing the Holiday Inn Express to proceed with renovations ahead of the busy summer season on Cape Cod.

By creating new openings and improving interior flow, the space is now better suited for guest use and operational efficiency. The coordination between demolition, structural support, and engineering oversight ensured a seamless transition into the next phase of construction.

Supporting Safe Renovation in Active Commercial Environments

Projects like this highlight the importance of careful planning, engineering collaboration, and controlled execution when working within existing commercial structures.

Structural demolition is not simply about removing materials—it requires a deep understanding of load paths, building behavior, and safety protocols. By combining these elements, we help ensure that renovation projects move forward safely and successfully.
