Should You Consider Retrofitting Your Commercial Building?
We talk a lot about remodeling and renovation, but another option for updating your commercial building is called retrofitting. This specific type of construction can make a dramatic difference while still being remarkably affordable. It’s a great choice for those short on time and budget, but also for anyone that wants to reduce waste and/or preserve historic qualities of a space. Let’s talk more about it.
What Is Retrofitting?
This is the process of merging the old and new – installing new technology and equipment in a space without completely replacing the structure. It often involves bringing buildings up to modern standards, making them more efficient and sustainable. We can upgrade the function of the space with modern amenities and safety features without the time and money of a new build. Many people choose to retrofit their space to reduce the waste involved in a complete tear down.
Common Reasons To Choose A Retrofit
Aside from saving time and money, there are a variety of reasons why a retrofit might work for you. Firstly, if the space itself is functioning well but your utility bills are out of control, we can retrofit with better insulation, windows, and HVAC. This will make the space more energy efficient and lower your utility burden for the long haul. Plus, it improves the property value.
Another reason why someone might choose to retrofit is to preserve the historic architecture or some other quality of the existing space. As a construction company with many years of experience in restoration – we definitely respect this choice. We are experts in bringing new life into a space without sacrificing those special details.
Consider It If Your Space Is Otherwise Working Well
We believe strongly that reducing waste is an important part of long term sustainability. For this reason, we recommend considering retrofitting in many cases where the overall structure is sound and working well for a client.
