Reconstruction
Restoration of old buildings
Renovating and restoring according to the rules of the art
The renovation of old buildings often requires numerous technical and specific interventions to reinforce their structures, improve their insulation and modernise their architecture in order to give them a second life. All operations must be carried out in a professional manner.
Restoring old buildings and structures can involve both structural and finishing work. Firstly, the renovation work aims to strengthen the frameworks and structures that support the whole building. Then comes the actual renovation work, such as the restoration of the facades, the change of coverings, plumbing, sanitary facilities, the laying of parquet flooring, the installation of fences, windows and glazing. In addition to these interventions, there is also the insulation work, which consists of installing soundproofing in the attic, low floors, and the installation of a soundproofing system for partitions.
