Important factors to consider on Refurbishment Projects
1.Establish full condition of the building before establishing budget cost and scope (intrusive and non-intrusive surveys).
2.Ensure the consultants have the correct competencies and experience for building age and operational usage(e.g. Listed Building, Swimming Baths, Concert Halls, traditional contract verses contractor Design & Build).
3.Important to have an ‘Intelligent Client’ with the right resource competences and capacity.
4.Ensure a fully completed design before starting construction.
5.Ensure fully costed ‘Risks’, timeline for ‘Risks’ and mitigation plan for ‘Risks’.
6.Governance Structure, decision making process must be robust
7.Managing expectations to non-construction stakeholders, both internal client structure and externally stakeholders.
