RENOVATIONS & ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING.

One of the realities of buildings is that they wear down , over time settlement creeps in causing large cracks for poorly built astructures and minor ones for well put up buildings.,The paint weather's changing in colour and brilliance, tiles or granite crack and many more things happen to the building as time goes by. Additionally we the people change , requiring anew use of the building , anew style , anew look ,anew vision. Hence we reach the point when we must renovate the building.

BUILDING INSPECTIONS

Best practise should be to carry out abuilding inspection first and hiring aproffessional so that he analyzes what the structure is facing that's causing depilation . You may ask why well if ur tiles wear down and you want to replace them but u haven't identified the cause of wear perhaps replacing them with tiles is useless instead using granite is needed or the tiles used prior are alower grade and not meant for the floor. Building professionals are trained to identify which is which and from the get go can help you define the breadth of the renovation, what is to be done and what is its cost.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES

Now comes the point of focus for this blog ,do i rili need architectural services for this endeavor. We'll asimple answer is yes. Because an architect can take you through the building inspections phase and then through the design phase. Renovation usually requires a lot of demolition and new construction works . Demolition should always be done on plan because that's the only way to identify and avoid damaging structural components of the building or if needed to be repaired ,the repair is tackled in away that ensures structural safety. Additionally beautification schemes like new tile motifs and wall surface decoration can easily be tested out by an architect through 3d visualizations which will ensures that cost of installation is incurred only when the client knows what he wants. Now comes new construction, in many scenarios new construction must be safe , should not affect building air flow or even affect the building structural integrity. Renovation plans should answer the questions of existing building status , proposed demolition and new construction which must be approved by the local physical planning committee prior to any construction undertaking.
