What is Building Refurbishment & Infrastructure?
Building refurbishment and infrastructure projects are designed to extend the life, safety, and efficiency of existing assets. They involve upgrading structures, systems, and services to meet modern standards, support compliance, and reduce long-term costs.
Refurbishment covers everything from structural works to upgrades in mechanical and electrical systems. Infrastructure improvements keep buildings operational, compliant, and aligned with current regulations. For building owners, facilities managers, and project teams, these works are essential to maintaining safe, efficient environments.

Why Work with a Professional?
Refurbishment and infrastructure upgrades often appear simple, but in reality, they require technical expertise and strict compliance with safety and building regulations. Attempting to manage these works without professional support exposes projects and duty holders to significant risks.
The main issues include:
Non-compliance
Failure to meet safety and building standards can result in legal consequences.
Increased liability
Building owners and employers face greater risk if the correct procedures are not followed.
Delays and cost overruns
Poor planning or workmanship can add significant time and expense.
Reduced asset life
Inadequate upgrades shorten service life and increase long-term maintenance costs.
Working with a professional partner like ADSS ensures projects are completed safely, on time, and to the correct specifications, protecting both assets and reputations.
