Choosing facade retention offers a number of advantages. It allows you to blend the old with the new, retaining the aesthetic appeal and historical significance of a building's front while creating a modern, functional space within. This approach is particularly suitable in areas like Burford, where preserving the town's distinctive look is important. Furthermore, facade retention can often be a more cost-effective and time-efficient option than complete demolition and rebuild, while still allowing for significant structural changes.

Determining whether facade retention is a suitable option takes careful consideration. Our team will assess the existing structure, looking at its condition, the design requirements of the new build, and any structural support that may be required. We'll also consider the planning requirements and any specific needs related to working within Burford. If the existing facade is structurally sound and the design is sympathetic, facade retention can be a superb option.
