Renovation
AB4B offers comprehensive renovation and refurbishment solutions designed to revitalize existing structures, enhance performance, and unlock new value. Whether it's upgrading a corporate office space, modernizing a retail center, or completely transforming a residential property, our team handles all phases. This includes structural alterations, updating MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems for energy efficiency, advanced interior fit-outs, and aesthetic enhancements. Our approach minimizes disruption to occupants while strictly managing quality, safety, and project timelines, delivering a contemporary and sustainable asset ready for the future.
Commercial Interior Buildouts
This involves modifying or customizing the interior space of an existing commercial building to meet the specific needs of a new or current tenant. Projects range from simple office reconfigurations (walls, flooring, lighting) to complex installations like specialized retail spaces or data centers. The focus is on efficiently adapting the space while minimizing downtime and strictly adhering to current building and fire codes.
Structural & Heritage Restorations
This high-specialty work focuses on repairing and reinforcing the foundational and load-bearing elements of aging or historic structures. It includes tasks like façade restoration, foundation underpinning, seismic retrofitting, and the repair of original materials (stone, masonry, wood). This category demands careful planning and execution to preserve the building's historical integrity while ensuring it meets modern safety and longevity standards.
System Upgrades & Retrofits (MEP)
These projects focus on replacing or upgrading the core mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems within a building. Common goals include improving energy efficiency, increasing capacity, and bringing outdated systems up to current regulatory compliance. Examples include installing new HVAC systems, upgrading electrical switchgear, replacing outdated piping, and modernizing fire suppression systems. This work often involves complex phasing to maintain partial building operations.
Adaptive Reuse & Conversion
Adaptive reuse involves changing the function or purpose of an existing building. This complex renovation transforms structures that have become obsolete (e.g., converting an old factory into loft apartments, or a historic school into a mixed-use commercial center). It requires innovative design and engineering to integrate modern utilities and spatial requirements within the constraints of the existing structure, maximizing both utility and economic value.
