Renovation and Building Reuse

This involves adding new value beyond the original performance of a building to rejuvenate it. From a state where the building structure is exposed, renovations may include relocating plumbing, modifying partitions, reinforcing the structure, remodeling exterior walls, and changing the building’s use.

A concrete example would be converting an office building into a residential apartment. Unlike simple repairs, renovation focuses on improving the building’s functionality.

Renovation Process

1.Preliminary Real Estate Income Survey収益調査(簡易調査)

Conduct a survey of the market value of nearby properties.

2.Revenue Improvement Planning

We propose ways to renovate the current property to increase its revenue potential.
Example 1: Renovate according to market trends while keeping the current usage.
Example 2: Change the building’s use to increase revenue.
Example 3: Improve profitability by replacing tenants.

3.Seismic Assessment

Evaluate the current seismic performance of the building.
Note: Seismic assessments must be conducted by structural engineering professionals.
Our structural calculation experts design and propose the plan.

4.Usage Change Assessment

If changing the building’s use is determined to be the most profitable in Step 2, we investigate whether it is legally permissible under current regulations and provide an assessment.

5.Seismic Reinforcement Design & Usage Change Application

  • Based on the seismic assessment, we design reinforcements to improve the building’s seismic performance.
  • For usage change applications, we handle the design and approval process in accordance with administrative notifications.

Note: Seismic assessments must be conducted by structural engineering professionals.
Our structural calculation experts design and propose the plan.

6.Renovation Work
