Misconceptions about refurbishment

Clients and building owners who are planning the refurbishment of a building consider disruption to production or the workplace during the refurbishment phase a major issue. In most of the refurbishment solutions described here the busines operation can continue within the building while the refurbishment work is carried out.

A certain level of disruption will always occur during building work. However, with a good understanding of the potential problems, detailed planning and the involvement of an appropriate contractor, most of these difficulties can be avoided.

Owners also consider that cost, standards of workmanship and the time involved in organising and checking on the refurbishment work is also of key importance. These items can be overcome through the involvement of specialist contractors who recognise and understand the issues associated with the refurbishment sector. The sub-contractor will also be able to provide detailed advice about health and safety issues and method statements.
