Last week I inspected old dilapidated building with request to advise whether it was feasible to renovate or if it was a job for demolition. It depends.

There is seldom a straight answer simply because there are many variables. Many owners however will not be aware of the hurdles to be overcome in renovating property.

One of these is compliance and the fact that in the event of upgrade, entire building will have to brought up to the current standards.Sometimes this is impractical and it is always expensive.

Building expert advice is essential or you might find yourself wasting good resources after bad or you may miss a less expensive option.
