What Exactly is Facade Retention and Why Consider it?

Facade retention is a process where the facade, or front, of an existing building is kept in place while the rest of the structure is demolished and rebuilt. This is often considered when the facade has significant architectural or historical value, or when planning restrictions require its preservation. This approach enables you to create a modern building while maintaining a link to the past and respecting the local streetscape.

Is Facade Retention Suitable for Your Chatham Project? Key Considerations

Deciding whether facade retention is suitable takes careful thought and depends on several factors. The structural condition of the existing facade is very important, as is the design of the new building. We assess the facade to determine if it can be safely retained and integrated into the new structure. Considerations such as the facade's material, its connection to the rest of the building, and the presence of any damage all have a significant role.

The Facade Retention Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Unmatched Reliability and Speed

Our facade retention process involves several key stages. First, we carry out a detailed structural survey to assess the facade's condition. We then design a temporary support system to hold the facade in place during demolition and construction. The rest of the building is carefully demolished, leaving the facade supported by the temporary structure. Finally, the new building is constructed behind the retained facade, integrating it into the new design.
