Retro-fit

We are experts in re-purposing

We understand that 42% of non-residential buildings and 38% of residential buildings were built before 1970.   This building stock can not be ignored and at Design Foundry we have years of experience in re-furbishing these types of buildings.  We want to use this knowledge to help you get the best out of your project or property portfolio. 

We know what needs to be done.

Refurbishment projects can be challenging, but we have the relevant project experience and know how to over come these issues.  Our approach with existing buildings is to understand them as much as possible through site surveys and review of record information, then carefully consider plant items which need to be retained and how best to integrate the design into the building fabric with careful co-ordination and detailing of services.  

We can help you bring your existing buildings back to life as smoothly as possible.
