Facade retention is a clever way to incorporate an existing building's character into a new design. Instead of demolishing the entire structure, we carefully support and retain the facade – the front or exterior – while rebuilding the rest of the building behind it. This approach can be suitable for several reasons:

• Preserving Architectural Heritage: Retain the original look of a building that contributes to the area's charm.
• Planning Requirements: Often required by planning permission, especially in conservation areas.
• Cost-Effectiveness: It might be more economical than a complete new build, depending on the project.
• Reduced Disruption: Less demolition means less disturbance to neighbours and the surrounding area.

Not every building is suitable for facade retention. We'll conduct a thorough structural survey to assess the facade's condition, taking into account factors like:

• Structural Integrity: Is the facade structurally sound enough to be retained?
• Material Condition: What is the condition of the brickwork, stonework, or other materials?
• Design Integration: Can the retained facade be seamlessly integrated into the new design?
• Cost Analysis: We will provide a breakdown of costs to see if retention is viable.
