Apartment Building Renovation

Complete upgrade of shared and technical areas

Apartment building renovation is a complex project that requires proper planning, technical assessment and coordination.

An apartment building is more than its individual flats. It also includes shared areas, entrances, stairwells, storage rooms, roofs, façades and common installations that affect the function and appearance of the entire building.

An older building may have wear and tear or installations that need upgrading. At IG Constructions, we undertake renovation and upgrade works based on the needs of each building.

When does an apartment building need renovation?

Shared areas deteriorate over time. Common issues may affect:

• the entrance and stairwell,
• floors, walls and railings,
• lighting and electrical installations,
• the roof and façades,
• shared plumbing installations.

Renovation can be carried out as a complete project or in stages.

Apartment building entrance renovation

The entrance is the first point of contact with a building. Surfaces, floors, lighting, walls and other elements can be refreshed. Appearance should be combined with durability and easy maintenance.

Stairwell renovation

Residents use the stairwell every day. Renovation may include painting, surface repairs, flooring, lighting and railings. Lighting is particularly important to the space's functionality.

Shared-area lighting

Older lighting can be replaced with modern solutions based on the building's needs. Automation or sensors can also be considered where appropriate.

Roof and rooftop areas

The roof is an important part of the building. Waterproofing issues can lead to damp in the spaces below. The surface should therefore be assessed and the necessary work considered.

Apartment building façades

Façades affect both the appearance and condition of a building. Before work begins, any wear, loose materials or other issues should be assessed. Façade work must be organised according to the project's technical and safety requirements.

Electrical installations

Shared electrical installations should meet the needs of the building. During renovation, the electrical panels, lighting and shared supplies can be assessed.

Plumbing

Shared plumbing installations in older apartment buildings may need inspection. Leaks, old pipes or other issues should be addressed in a technically organised way.

Renovating an older apartment building

Renovating an older apartment building can be an opportunity to assess the property as a whole. Before deciding on the project, its needs should be recorded and priorities set. It is not necessary for all work to happen at once.

Apartment building renovation costs

The cost depends on the size of the building and the scope of work. Factors include:

• the condition of shared areas, the entrance and stairwell,
• the condition of the roof and façades,
• electrical and plumbing installations,
• materials and any special construction work.

A site visit is necessary to prepare a detailed quote.

How is the project organised?

Apartment building renovation requires communication between owners and careful scheduling. The following should be agreed:

• the scope of work and priorities,
• the budget and timeline,
• the materials and the method of execution.

A detailed quote helps everyone involved understand what is included in the project.
