WHAT IS AN EXTENSION

A home extension is a construction project that enlarges a house, either by adding a new room or extending the existing ones. Home extensions can be built on the ground floor, upper floors, or as a combination of both. They are often undertaken to create more living space, accommodate a growing family, or add value to a property.

An extension can add real value to your home without the upheaval or expense of moving to a larger property. Extensions can come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s certainly not a case of one size fits all.

WHAT IS A COMMERICAL REFURBISHMENT?

A commercial refurbishment is a construction project aimed at renovating, updating, or improving an existing commercial space, such as an office, retail store, or restaurant. This can involve everything from minor cosmetic upgrades to major structural changes, such as reconfiguring the space or adding new features. Commercial refurbishment projects are often undertaken to improve functionality, create a more modern or attractive appearance, or adapt to changing business needs.

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REFURBISHMENT AND A FIT-OUT?

Refurbishment and fit-out both involve renovating and upgrading a commercial space, but there is a subtle difference. Refurbishment focuses on improving the existing structure of a building, while fit-out involves installing new features, fixtures, and fittings to make the space functional for its intended purpose, such as an office or retail store.

 

BENEFITS OF COMMERICAL REFURBISHMENTS

• Improved productivity.
• Increased team morale.
• Efficient use of available space.
• Improved company culture.
• Meet COVID-19 guidelines.
• Energy efficient upgrades
• Increasing property value
• Adapting to business needs
• Attracting more clients/customers
