Refurbishment ยท Across the UK

Refurbishment that keeps the building working

Smart building retrofit, office refurbishment and change of use, coordinated from planning and design through contractors, snagging and handover. Because we also manage buildings, we plan every project around how it will run afterwards.

Smart building retrofit

Bring an existing building up to date

We upgrade existing buildings with modern controls, sensors and building systems. Works are coordinated around the people using the building, and planned so the upgraded systems can be run and maintained properly afterwards.

  • Survey of the existing systems and how the building is used
  • Specialist design input where the upgrade needs it
  • Works phased to keep the building in use
  • Handover into planned maintenance under our hard FM service

Project types

Projects we coordinate

Separate from day-to-day FM, with the same accountable way of working: one route across planning, design, contractors, construction and handover.

Smart building retrofit

Upgrading existing buildings with modern controls, sensors and building systems.

Office refurbishment

Workplace upgrades planned around occupiers, so disruption to the business is kept to a minimum.

Change of use

Coordinating projects that convert a building to a new use, from early planning to handover.

How a project runs

From first idea to a building that runs well

A single accountable path from concept through delivery, reducing fragmented communication between owners, designers and contractors.

  1. 1

    Planning

    Project intent, building use, constraints, programme and the decisions needed before work starts.

  2. 2

    Design

    Design input coordinated so building operation, occupier experience and feasibility are considered early.

  3. 3

    Structural coordination

    Suitable structural and technical specialists brought in where building changes need professional input.

  4. 4

    Project management

    Programme, communication, decision tracking and issue control throughout.

  5. 5

    Contractor coordination

    Tender support, attendance, progress chasing, site communication and evidence of completion.

  6. 6

    Construction delivery

    Practical coordination of the works on site.

  7. 7

    Snagging and handover

    Defects listed, put right and checked before the building is handed back.

  8. 8

    FM handover

    Facilities management thinking applied after completion, so the improved building is easier to operate.
