Building Revitalization & Retrofits

Breathe new life into older properties and increase their value, appeal and performance.

01Overview

Building Revitalization by Presto Constructions

Breathe new life into older properties and increase their value, appeal and performance.

An ageing building doesn't have to be torn down to compete. Revitalization upgrades the parts that matter most to tenants and owners: entrances, lobbies, facades, common areas, building systems and energy performance.

Presto Constructions plans revitalization projects around occupied buildings, phasing work to minimize disruption to tenants and keeping the property operating throughout.

    Budgeting, value engineering, design coordination and building permit applications, so the job starts on solid ground.

  3. Planning & procurement

    A detailed schedule, trade selection, long-lead material orders and a clear communication plan before we mobilize.
