Environmental motives for extensive house renovation

March 4, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Environmental concerns have taken centre stage in recent years, not just with the government and with local authorities, but also on a more personal level. Individuals and families are recognising the importance of cutting down their carbon emissions in order to commit to greener ways of doing things.

This change in attitude is evident in all sorts of different areas. People are changing their travelling habits to be more environmentally-friendly and they are making all sorts of changes at home. This domestic focus on green processes is actually very effective, especially as new attitudes become more widespread.

For some, committing to a more environmentally-friendly domestic lifestyle actually starts by renovating the home to cut energy waste. Poor insulation and aging structures result in a good deal of energy waste through walls and ceilings. This is something homeowners also waste their money on at the same time as contributing more carbon emissions than they perhaps should.

Effective modernisation helps to counteract this effect, saving homeowners money in the long run and also making sure their homes are more efficient and more in line with the greener attitudes they are looking to adopt.

Conditions that make for a great relationship with your designers and builders

March 3, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

It’s wonderful when you have a very productive and positive relationship with the people who are in charge of your rebuild and renovate project. The great thing about this sort of arrangement when it goes right is that you never find yourself out of the loop. Communication is good which means you can get your points across to the team of designers and builders easily and they can keep you completely updated.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing does not happen very often. That is why it is so hard to choose from all the different design and build companies London is home to. One thing you can do to put yourself in with a better chance of working with people whose project management and communication skills are of the highest order is to go for a firm that deal with everything under one roof.

A team that consists of designers, builders, project managers and architects who are all working for the same company has a better chance of delivering on that positive relationship. There are unlikely to be any breakdowns in communication because everyone is signing from the same hymn sheet. This is the equivalent of design and build bliss.
