Renovation means restoring an existing building to like-new condition without changing its structure or use: reworking finishes, technical equipment or insulation.
Refurbishment, a deeper intervention
Refurbishment goes further: it may alter the structure, the interior layout or the use of the building, while keeping its envelope or footprint. It is often necessary to bring an old structure up to current standards (structural, thermal, accessibility) or to give it a new purpose.
The MaythEG approach
MaythEG works in both registers, with a recognised specialisation in heavy refurbishment, including on occupied sites — residential buildings, city-centre shops, healthcare facilities and public buildings — limiting disruption for users through suitable phasing.
