Building repairs and building refurbishment are required on many occasions by either landlord or tenants, usually to improve the facilities for the occupying party, or simply to ensure that the building is returned in the condition it should be according to the terms of the lease.

For either building repairs or building refurbishment, it is recommended that professional advice should be sought to prepare a detailed specification of works, so as to ensure that correct materials are used, correct workmanship is adopted and that any refurbishment works are in line with current statutory requirements. It is often the case that Building Regulations Consent is required and, in some instances, Planning Permission, Conservation Area Consent and Listed Building Consent may be necessary.

Whether the building refurbishment is for offices, industrial units or retail areas, the principles are the same. Early advice and a good specification with detailed drawings will ensure your building refurbishment project is delivered on time, within budget and to the correct quality.

You may be considering future building repairs or building refurbishment works and may simply wish to have a feasibility study undertaken to advise you of likely costs, construction periods, and statutory requirements which need to be obtained to allow you to 'firm up' your own thoughts. Feasibility studies can be prepared on your behalf to assist you in taking your planned scheme to the next stage.
