Refurbishment vs Renovation
Refurbishment is sometimes referred to as renovation but there are differences between the two, which can affect the choice of building contractor. Strictly speaking, a renovation would involve a damaged or older building and would see it brought back into use, modernised or improved.
Often, renovations require a specialist knowledge of historic buildings and heritage assets, ensuring listed buildings are sensitively restored. A contractor must also have experience of working with a wide range of stakeholders such as Historic England, the local conservation officer and local planning authority.
The Importance of Building Refurbishment
Regardless of the type of building, providing an attractive environment is essential. In the wake of the pandemic, owners and managers of office space must ensure the accommodation meets the changing needs of the workforce.
For the operators of public buildings, encouraging visitors to stay and return remains a priority, and for many social housing providers, there is a continuous drive to raise the standard of their existing homes.
At the same time, net zero targets combined with an increasing focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors means there is an urgent need for energy efficiency improvements across all types of building, including homes.
