Transforming an “Old” Building: A Comprehensive Property Refurbishment Journey
Projects we love!
In the world of construction, refurbishment and fit-out, there are few challenges more exciting than breathing new life into an old building. Let’s us take you on a journey through a remarkable property refurbishment project that showcases the dedication, creativity, and attention to detail required to bring an aging structure back to its former glory.
Laying the Foundation
The first phase of the refurbishment involved conducting a thorough structural survey and performing related works. This critical step set the groundwork for the entire project, ensuring that all subsequent changes would be safe and sound. Additionally, temporary power supplies and lighting were installed to facilitate the upcoming phases. Phase 1 also included an extensive strip-out process, where various elements of the old building were carefully removed. This included plumbing, plasterboard walls, ceiling tiles, floor coverings, and even existing sanitary fixtures. It was a meticulous process aimed at preparing the canvas for the upcoming transformations.

The Finishing Touches
In the final phase, attention to detail and precision were paramount. Door linings, architraves, and handles were meticulously fitted to add a touch of elegance to the interior. Professional painting teams worked tirelessly, applying multiple coats to new walls and existing surfaces alike, ensuring a flawless finish. Kitchenettes were thoughtfully designed and installed to cater to the needs of the space. The property’s functionality was further enhanced with the addition of transitions, thresholds, stair tread nosing, and other practical elements.
Elevating the Space
With the foundation laid in Phase 1, the project shifted focus to enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetics of the building. Insulation played a crucial role in this phase, with loose 100mm insulation added on top of the suspended ceiling grid to improve thermal and acoustic performance. Demountable suspended grid ceilings, offering a modern and sleek appearance, were expertly installed. Additionally, partition walls were constructed using metal studs and Gyproc wall boards, providing both strength and fire resistance. Carpet tiles and vinyl floor coverings were introduced to create a comfortable and visually appealing workspace.
Conclusion
We loved this property refurbishment job with each phase contributing to a stunning transformation. From the early stages of surveying and stripping out to the installation of modern fixtures and finishes, every step was carefully planned and executed.
This project showcases the remarkable potential that lies within old buildings. With the right vision, expertise, and a commitment to quality, every structure can be reborn into beautiful, functional spaces that meet the demands of modern working environments.
