Before diving in, let’s consider whether facade retention is the suitable approach for your project. It's often ideal for buildings with historical significance, those in conservation areas, or where planning restrictions require maintaining the original street view. We carefully assess each building to determine its structural integrity and the feasibility of facade retention. This involves a detailed survey, taking into account the condition of the existing structure and the proposed new design.

Our approach to facade retention is thorough and meticulous. It typically involves these key steps:

• Initial Consultation and Survey: We discuss your project goals and conduct a comprehensive survey of the existing facade.
• Structural Assessment: Our structural engineers assess the facade's stability and identify any necessary repairs or reinforcement.
• Design and Planning: We work with your architects and engineers to develop a detailed plan for retaining the facade while constructing the new building.
• Temporary Support Installation: We install temporary steel support structures to stabilise the facade during demolition and construction.
• Demolition and New Construction: The existing building behind the facade is carefully demolished, and the new structure is built, integrating with the retained facade.
• Facade Restoration and Integration: We restore and integrate the facade into the new building, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new.
