Refurbishment

Refurbishments of buildings require multifaceted skills. We offer specialist consultancy services for projects that require interdisciplinary skills including refurbishment projects, building inspections, operations and maintenance services for all types of buildings that respect the architecture, materials and the buildings’ overall potential.

We offer cross-disciplinary consultancy

Refurbishments, conversions and extensions, operation and maintenance as well as building inspections require interdisciplinary competencies to manage and ensure balance. The interaction between our in-depth knowledge of building engineering, installations, building materials and practical work means that we work holistically and focus on identifying the right solutions.

Based on our competences and knowledge of existing buildings, we prepare Technical Due Diligence (TDD) reports in connection to the acquisition and sale of numerous properties of all sizes across the country, with emphasis on transparency and uniformity.

Our specialists work holistically

We have experts who specialise in refurbishment projects and building inspections. We work holistically and focus on environmental issues and energy optimisation when we inspect and renovate buildings. This includes energy issues concerning electricity, water, heating and ventilation.

Our in-depth knowledge of practical building engineering and the typical materials used such as brick, concrete, wood and steel are the starting point of our work on transformation, refurbishment and maintenance projects. We work to optimise the individual building, its installation components as well as to identify the best architectural and engineering solutions. We also have extensive experience detecting and repairing buildings with mould, rot and fungal damage, as well as managing the removal of materials such as asbestos, PCBs, lead, etc.

We fulfil the wishes and requirements of our customers

Our clients include both public sector clients (municipalities, regional and government institutions) as well as developers, development funds and private clients/developers.
We take great pride in fulfilling the wishes of our customers and their requirements, maintaining the full framework of the project until it is complete and handed to the customer.

Copenhagen Central Station

Modernisation of Copenhagen Central Station

Copenhagen Central Station is facing a major refurbishment of both interior and exterior areas with the aim of opening the station up more towards the surroundings and creating a more secure experience for travellers. It requires respect for the beautiful and partially listed areas to succeed in modernising one of the capital’s best-known landmarks. Therefore, Artelia and Gottlieb Paludan Architects have appointed an experienced team with in-depth experience from other renovation projects at the Central Station.
