L-04 · Preparing existing buildings for what comes next
Building refurbishment
Existing buildings gain a dependable starting point for modernisation, a new use or the next construction phase.
Wear, moisture, outdated materials, new use plans or identified hazardous substances can make substantial work to existing buildings necessary.
Hazardous-material remediation, strip-out and building refurbishment can be combined in a coordinated sequence where required.
