For your organisation
You want to know whether your current premises can still support your teams and plans. We consider activities, occupancy, work settings and connections.
What already works, and where does the space hold you back?
Revitalisation
Your organisation is changing. Should your building change with it, or is it time to relocate? We consider what is there, what you want to keep and where there is room to improve.
Explore what revitalisation could mean
Look first, then decide
Revitalisation means adapting an existing building to how it is used. It might start with a different layout, a clearer entrance or a wider range of work settings. Sometimes it also involves building alterations and technical services.
We consider your needs alongside the building. Which qualities would you like to retain? Which functions no longer fit? Which constraints need investigation? These questions give the comparison between adapting and relocating a practical starting point.
Connect the space with how you workDifferent needs, one building
Owners, occupiers and building managers can approach the same building with different questions. We connect those needs and agree who contributes and who makes decisions.
You want to know whether your current premises can still support your teams and plans. We consider activities, occupancy, work settings and connections.
What already works, and where does the space hold you back?
You want a building to respond to current or future occupiers. Its entrance, office floors, layout possibilities and services form part of that exploration.
Which occupiers do you want to accommodate, and what do they need?
You need a clear view of use, alterations and everyday operations. We discuss what needs to remain operational during the work and who should be involved.
Which functions and agreements will shape the approach?
Needs, ownership, lease agreements, technical constraints and budget affect the possibilities. We clarify starting points and open questions before developing decisions.
Who decides about the building, investment and use?
Retain what fits
Not everything needs replacing. We explore which spaces, materials and services remain useful and where changes are needed. That requires an understanding of the building’s condition, use and technical possibilities.
The Fluor photograph shows a meeting room with timber walls, a long table and daylight. It illustrates an interior; it is not a before-and-after comparison or evidence of reuse. What can be retained or adapted in your building is explored separately.
From possibilities to Design
Your organisation keeps running
Will the building remain occupied? Preparation then needs to consider work zones, access, noise, dust and interruptions to services. Phasing or temporary settings may form part of the plan. What is possible depends on the work and the situation on site.
Design, technical needs, programme and budget need to come together. We coordinate the relevant specialists, responsibilities and decision points. Costs, permissions, safety, accessibility and performance need appropriate review; a new layout alone does not confirm them.
Explore the six stages of our approachBefore choosing your next step
We start with your organisation, the existing building and possible alternative locations. An initial layout study can show how functions might fit. Costs, technical requirements, programme and property agreements also need investigation. This helps compare options against the same starting points.
Compare spatial possibilities with TestFitsYes, a targeted change can be the starting point. It might involve an entrance, an office floor or shared spaces. We consider how the change affects other uses and services. The scope is agreed together.
Discuss what you would like to changeThat depends on the work and the building. We discuss which functions need to continue, which zones are available and where temporary measures are needed. Whether occupation can continue is explored in advance.
More about preparation and BuildCosts depend on the extent of the work, the building’s condition, technical alterations and material choices. We discuss your priorities and the information needed to develop the cost and programme. There is no fixed package or standard price.
