HOW WE HELP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From decision to handover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In an office retrofit, the existing building, the tenant structure and the organisation\u2019s changing needs form the basis of the project. BuildEXT coordinates the process from survey and concept development through multidisciplinary design and tender preparation to construction follow-up. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A workplace people want to use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s office is not only a place to work, but also a space for meeting, collaboration and community. Its design needs to provide a compelling alternative to working from home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for hybrid work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Focus rooms, small and large meeting rooms, collaboration zones and flexible work settings tailored to actual patterns of use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

03<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A development that works commercially<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well-planned spaces can improve leasability, support certification targets and make long-term operation more efficient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIM-based design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With Scan-to-BIM surveys and a Common Data Environment, design starts from verified and traceable building information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

RELIABLE FOUNDATIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, understand the existing conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Office retrofit design always starts with the existing building. This means understanding the condition of the building fabric, mechanical and electrical systems, the current tenant layout, and how accurately the available documentation reflects what is actually on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides the basis for deciding what can be retained, what should be modified, and which interventions could create disproportionate cost or technical risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

At the beginning of the project, we therefore clarify questions including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the condition of the existing building fabric and mechanical systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

how accurate and up to date the available design documentation is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

which tenant requirements and working patterns should shape the new spatial layout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

which existing elements can be retained, modified or need to be removed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

which WELL, BREEAM or WiredScore targets need to be considered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

how construction can be phased while the building, or part of it, remains operational<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
