Are you planning to renovate your room or house? Or is your company doing an office renovation? If you think you or your company will be pursuing such plan in the future, it would be helpful if you get at least a brief of how renovation process works.
Unlike building construction that builds on the acquisition of land to building the foundation of the building, room/house or office renovation only covers a portion or part of an office space. Though with a smaller working area, it still takes up a lot of resources, time and manpower to pull off such project.
Renovation works entail material cost, professional fees and labour. It doesn’t come cheap. For you to start the work, you need detailed planning and lay-outing of plans. This time, you need professional help from engineers and architects. In most cases, companies hire firms to do the job. But for small-scale businesses, they often prefer hiring professionals separately to lower the cost.
One of the basic requirements for renovation works are product design and fabrication services. To enlighten you about these, the services are outlined below.
