Commercial Refurbishment
Whole-building and phased refurbishment of commercial premises, coordinated from survey through to handover.
Commercial refurbishment covers the improvement of an existing commercial building or tenancy so it performs better, presents better and lets or trades better. It is broader than a fit-out and usually touches fabric, finishes and services rather than layout alone.
RefurbGuys coordinates these projects as a single point of contact for the client, arranging the specialist works each scope requires and keeping the programme, access and information in one place.
What a commercial refurbishment usually involves
No two buildings arrive in the same condition, so scope is set from survey rather than from a standard package. A typical scope draws from the following works.
- Strip-out of redundant finishes, partitions and tenant installations
- Repairs to walls, floors, ceilings and building fabric
- New partitions, doors, joinery and suspended ceilings
- Decoration throughout, including high-level and industrial coatings
- Commercial flooring appropriate to traffic and use
- Electrical alterations, lighting upgrades and small power
- Plumbing, welfare facilities and drainage alterations
- External works, roofing repairs and building envelope improvements
Working around an occupied building
Many commercial refurbishments run while a building remains partly occupied or trading. Phasing, out-of-hours working, dust and noise control, protected access routes and agreed shutdown windows are discussed at survey stage and written into the programme rather than resolved on site.
Cost clarity
Scope is priced against a written schedule of works so each element can be seen, questioned or removed. Where an item cannot be established until opening up has taken place, it is identified as a provisional item rather than buried in a single figure.
