Frequently Asked Questions
Building Refurbishment & Renovation FAQs
Useful answers to common questions about renovating and improving existing properties.
What is the difference between refurbishment and renovation?
Refurbishment commonly involves improving or updating an existing property, while renovation can include restoring, repairing or substantially upgrading building features. The terms are often used together and the scope can overlap.

Renovation projects may involve repairs, interior improvements, flooring, wall finishes, external upgrades and layout changes. The exact activities depend on the condition and needs of the property.
