From smaller alterations and changes of use to the refurbishment and redevelopment of complex existing buildings, MEC provides the technical expertise needed to understand existing structures, identify constraints and develop practical solutions for their future use.
Our teams support the refurbishment and redevelopment of existing buildings and sites across a range of sectors, from relatively straightforward alterations and changes of use to more complex regeneration projects.
No two existing buildings are quite the same. Understanding the original construction, its current condition and how proposed changes will affect the building is an important part of developing a workable refurbishment scheme. Our teams bring together the technical expertise needed to investigate, assess and respond to those challenges.
We can undertake surveys, Surveys, investigations and assessments help establish the condition of existing buildings and sites, providing reliable information to inform design and identify potential constraints early.
Our teams understand the challenges that can come with adapting existing assets, from structural alterations and ground conditions to acoustics, access and the requirements associated with a change of use.
Refurbishment isn’t always limited to the building itself. Where required, our teams can consider highways, drainage, utilities, external lighting and other infrastructure needed to support the proposed development.
With expertise across MEC working together, we can provide joined-up advice across multiple technical requirements, reducing the need to manage numerous separate consultants.
From understanding existing buildings and site constraints to developing the technical solutions needed for their next use, our teams can provide coordinated support throughout refurbishment and redevelopment projects.
