What is a refurbishment?

Refurbishment encompasses comprehensive measures to renew buildings in order to eliminate structural defects, improve the building fabric or increase energy efficiency. Refurbishment projects can make far-reaching changes to the building and are often aimed at maintaining or increasing its value in the long term. This can include, for example, the renewal of load-bearing elements, the modernization of building technology or the adaptation to modern energy standards.

Difference to"renovation":

Renovation, on the other hand, refers to measures to refresh and improve rooms or buildings without making fundamental structural changes. Renovation work usually focuses on cosmetic aspects such as painting walls, replacing floor coverings or repairing minor defects. The main aim of renovations is to beautify and renew the existing condition without making major changes to the fabric of the building.
