The success of any facade retention project hinges on ensuring the structural stability of the retained facade. We're not just about knocking down walls; we're about carefully analysing the existing structure, identifying potential weaknesses, and implementing robust support systems. This might involve installing temporary steelwork, propping up walls, and carefully monitoring the structure throughout the demolition process. Our team works closely with structural engineers to develop a detailed plan that prioritises safety and stability.

So, what exactly does the facade retention process involve? It typically starts with a thorough survey of the existing building to assess its condition and identify any structural issues. Next, we design and install a support system to hold the facade in place during demolition. The rest of the building is then carefully demolished, leaving the facade standing. Finally, the new structure is built behind the retained facade, integrating it seamlessly into the new design. We manage every step of the project, from initial assessment to final handover, keeping you informed every step of the way.
