General Renovations

Renovating an apartment, house or commercial space starts with the property itself: its condition, the changes you need and the work those changes involve.

• Property and brief: establish which rooms or areas need work and how you want to use them.
• Existing services: assess the electrical, plumbing and other installations affected by the renovation.
• Layout and structure: identify proposed alterations and where technical assessment is needed.
• Scope and budget: set out the work, materials and finishes, with assumptions and exclusions made clear.
• Programme: plan design decisions, procurement and site work around the agreed scope.

The agreed scope determines which services form part of your project.

• Interiors: kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces and commercial layouts.
• Electrical and plumbing: replacement or adaptation of installations to suit the planned use.
• Floors, walls and ceilings: preparation, finishes and painting.
• Joinery and windows: cabinetry, carpentry, metalwork and window or door installation.
• Insulation and waterproofing: solutions for the building and the areas being renovated.
• Preparation and exterior work: demolition, façades, balconies and other elements included in the project.

• Discuss the property: review the brief, priorities and constraints.
• Develop the design: coordinate the architectural, engineering and interior decisions required for the work.
• Agree the budget and programme: define the scope, costs, assumptions and exclusions before construction.
• Carry out the work: coordinate the trades and site supervision through to a documented handover.
